Well yeah, but isn’t that the ideal though? Stabilize the patient if needed, transport patient to where the doctors are who can then determine if it’s something small or of they’re about to die and require emergency surgery or something

I stopped using the word “alternative” as it implies it maybe be less good. I just say “open source” now.

In reality, open source software almost always is a better product as it’s designed by people wanting it, not by a bunch of managers wanting more money directing a bunch of developers who just want their salary.

Also: a lot of the mainstream software has Linux clients, if you look for them

I’ve been on Linux desktop and server for over 20 years now, reaching 25. Never looked back, never will

Most apps have open source versions which work better anyway. I’ve been on a Linux desktop literally for the past 20+ years now, never looked back

I do exactly that, yes. Unfortunately I my company we have to use the msoffice shit, so I use the online version which is as hilariously bad as one would expect. Same for teams which is just a sad shitshow

Say about Google what you want, but at least the google drive tools work well.

In any case, what is your point?

Who says they aren’t trying right now? I recall SSH had an attempt quite recently, I can guarantee that China is trying hard to include anything to out in back doors

I recall reading a few weeks ago that Nvidia released new driver updates that would fix stuttering issues, iirc specifically with Wayland. I got no specifics for you, but maybe a few searches will shed light

Gatling penis

Reddit being shite isn’t news, it turned shit a long, long time ago.

Mozilla may have made some stupid decisions but Firefox is by far ye best browser our there this moment

The marketing company Google can go pound a pineapple

Yeah… The main thing I see here is that China (read; government , not the people, not being racist here) will take this code, they will make improvements on it, they will NOT give back. Basically like Microsoft, but now an entire country.

Chinese government hasn’t exact had a good reputation when it comes to taking technology and not giving anything back

UH OH!

With ICQ I learned the social skills that I couldn’t on the real world because I had been bullied to near death. I talked to random people all over the world, learned that I could talk to girls without having to feel like shit.

Used it so much, and with volume up, my upstairs neighbor thought I was watching the teletubbies all the time because of the UH OH!

Met my first girlfriend this way, she was in Mexico, I was in Europe. Moved to Mexico to marry her (bad idea, she was rather manipulativr and a huge cheater as it turned out, got divorced) and lived in Mexico for samn near 20 years.

To say that ICQ had a big positive influence in my life is an understatement, it changed my life beyond anything I’ve ever had before.

Thank you.

Yeah, though the Chinese government isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their heart, this is what open source is about.

training they do have is focussed on the things that will kill you quickly

I think i know what you’re trying to say but it sounds really really bad

But the “stabilize and transport asap but keep stable” is pretty much the goal for all ambulances world wide.

Nobody was asking for your tinfoil god fearing conspiracies

Install Linux already, just get it over with.

A 35 mph crash would make the inside of that cyber truck do https://youtu.be/waG8YYTwpAQ?si=ncyl2l4IiP7GDLuk

Even a simple 10 mph “crash” without crumple zone would be painful to say the least

PhD level of intelligence

No it won’t. At some point, some AI will, but that point is still far away.

I’m sure it’ll know how to string words and sentences together real nice, even to the point where it makes sense. It will still not have a clue what it’s talking about, it’ll still not understand basic concepts as “understanding” requires a whole lot more than just an advanced ability of pushing words together.

I’m sorry but just wondering here… Why would you need to phone home up to the point where you can’t be without a phone? I didn’t have phones in my school, never needed them either. A lot of people are acting as if not having phones will kill them where in reality, everyone will be just fine.

Why would even that be necessary? It’s school, not jail or drug den…

Kids survived fine without phones for millenia, I’m sure they can survive now. If there is a real emergency, then I’m sure some supervisor can make a call…

Yeah your arguments so far have been yelling that it sucks.

I’m sure there is still hardware out there with issues, just like there is hardware that has issues with Windows. What’s your point?
