Yes, snap isn’t even on the scale.

They’re planning on making a version where everything is a snap. Performance and usability may come later, who knows.

The goal is not always to “take control” of the whole system. A cryptolocker that makes all your files unreadable will happily run in user space.

Also, you’re forgetting that windows also have UAC, and that people will happily type the admin password of their device when asked to, because they’ve been conditioned to not care by badly made stuff. And, while win+r is unlikely to work in most Linux DE I know about, triggering a visual prompt that ask for your password is also a thing.

There is not much difference between common Linux distro and windows as far as seizing user files with malware is concerned, aside from the fact that no website will care to try telling you “press alt+space” instead of “win+r”.

There’s too much US specific legal mumbo jumbo and administration terms in there for me, but seeing that there’s a bit of resistance against this whole “ban books” thing is good.

If the alternative to “the nukes” is “gets steamrolled the old fashioned way” anyway, it’s not really an alternative.

I’m slightly worried about the really big guns russia supposedly have, but only slightly. At this point, it’s not like there’s a big red “launch” button on putin’s desk; it’d have to go through a few people that may have the actual big picture in their mind.

Inertia?

Hey, I’ve seen this manga.

Now you have a visual interpretation of the concept of a plan.

So, saying people should “get used to cloud gaming and subscription only” in the future gets a free pass, even if the people that said it are the one trying to create cloud gaming and suscription only games?

No worries, at no point in recent years have I been feeling I “owned” a ubisoft game. Not even played them. I’m that committed to follow thge instructions of some dipshit.

Good news, they’re making eating in expensive too, so you can get the full experience!

They may get forbidden from operating in the US? Like, the same thing, in reverse?

The satellites trains do it already by themselves, it’s ok.

“Stalled I/O” has entered the process list :D

It says “I don’t really speak french but I’ll write something good enough”.

Seriously, it sounds really weird.

Someone made that, sort of. Unfortunately, the privacy nightmare is slightly reduced compared to the original one.

Good luck with that.

For repetitive tasks, it can almost automatically get a first template you write by hand, and extrapolate with multiple variations.

Beyond that… not really. Anything beyond single line completion quickly devolves into either something messy, non working, or worse, working but not as intended. For extremely common cases it will work fine; but extremely common cases are either moved out in shared code, or take less time to write than to “generate” and check.

I’ve been using code completion/suggestion on the regular, and it had times where I was pleasantly surprised by what it produced, but even for these I had to look after it and fix some things. And while I can’t quantify how often it happened, there are a lot of times where it’s convincing gibberish.
