And twitter / x most likely have a similar rule. And musk could have achieved similar by just banning the account.

There’s no reason to give it to Jones. He doesn’t own any of the applicable ip any more. Maybe there’s an argument if he tried that.

Now see, I don’t like it but the simplest thing would be for musk to ban the account right now.

He’s not circumventing anything then. Ownership of the account was transferred, that twitter, a private entity chose to ban it is their business.

It’s not worth arguing about. The website and ip is the juicy thing, being able to make satirical info wars programming and products is where it is at. Maybe, maybe there would be a case if musk allowed Jones to make a new account with the same name or otherwise handed it to him.

No. If valve cancel your steam account, you lose your games and they owe you a big fat zero.

Same goes for all accounts with assets attached.

Sad to say, but in this case it is musk’s platform and his rules.

If he wants to go home and take his ball too. Tough luck.

Doesn’t seem right, but it is legal and already happened on multiple platforms multiple times.

I had this on the commodore Amiga. It was an absolute classic.

I don’t think “creatives” are more active than anyone else. For the number of users, the threadiverse has a higher ratio of activity I think and it’s generally more positive here than places like reddit. Maybe it’s a similar thing. The demographic that are likely to move, are just making similar content and that makes it look more active.

Going to second other comments. Even without archinstall. It feels like it will be harder than it is. Umm, just save yourself a bit of time and configure the network and install a console editor (nano/vim whatever) while in the chroot (if going full manual). It was a minor pain to work around that for me.

There are pages discussing how to do everything (helps to have a laptop with browser, or a phone to look them up). At the end, you generally know exactly what you installed (OK no-one watches all the dependencies), and I’ve found any borks that happen easy to fix because I know what I installed.

This does tally up with what I’ve been hearing. Where I’m at there’s been a few hires straight into senior. I’ve not heard of an official junior freeze. At the same time it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new one.

The problem, as I commented prior, is that if we no longer bring in junior devs to gain this kind of experience, we lose the flow of junior -> senior. But in most places, the people making the decisions won’t consider anything beyond the end of the current fin year.

I don’t think developers are doing it. It’s managers making this kind of decision I’d say.

I’ve been told about companies in the same field as mine with a hiring freeze on juniors. So it’s kinda second hand.

I think it goes further than that. There’s two things happening with regard to AI and software development.

1: Stack overflow has become less common as a resource to solve problems. This, as you say has a problem of input into LLMs for future problems to solve.
2: Junior developers are being hired less because of AI. I assume the idea is that seniors will use AI in the same way they would usually use juniors. Except, they’ve done what business always does. Not think one bit about the future. Today’s senior developers are yesterdays junior developers.

The combination of AI performance drop due to point 1, and the lack of new developers because of point 2 makes for potentially, a bad future for the profession.

I think it had its uses in the past, specifically if it had the memory backup to prevent full array rebuilds and cached data loss on power failure.

Also at the height of raid controller use (I would say 90s and 2000s) there probably was some compute savings by shifting the work to a dedicated controller.

In modern day, completely agree.

I’m sure I’ve seen paid software that will detect and read data from several popular hardware controllers. Maybe there’s something free that can do the same.

For the future, I’d say that with modern copy on write filesystems, so long as you don’t mind the long rebuild on power failures, software raid is fine for most people.

I found this, which seems to be someone trying to do something similar with a drive array built with an Intel raid controller

Note, they are using drive images, you should be too.

I think in the case of forced agreements (both Roku not having a way to select disagree and disabling all hardware functionality until you agree, and blizzard not allowing login to existing games including non-live service ones) no reasonable court should be viewing this as freely accepting the new conditions.

If you buy a new game with those conditions, sure you should be able to get a full refund though, and you could argue it for ongoing live service games where you pay monthly that it’s acceptable to change the conditions with some notice ahead of time. If you don’t accept you can no longer use the ongoing paid for features, I expect a court would allow that. But there’s no real justification for disabling hardware you already own or disabling single player games you already paid for in full.

It’ll be interesting to see any test cases that come from these examples.

Does it make anyone look good? I’m trying to see who is portrayed as good or normal here.

Well that’s fine. The good thing about those lyrics is you can just swap tesla for another company.

Going to have to go with this one again.

“I sued Tesla, because I bought their car, I drove it and then I got stuck!”
