“Sure we destroyed the planet as we knew it, but for a brief moment in time, we increased value for shareholders!”

Why don’t businesses do away with free and go to a completely paid model?

Let’s continue on this path of thinking: Customers already pay using their data. So if you want to show ads you have to pay customers since you are scrapping their data?

Ok then hear me out. Let free content supported by ads die out. Make everything paid.

Because Redhat has IBM hands shoved up through it’s ass upto it’s brains so it’s days are numbered.

Don’t underestimate IBM honchos to fuck up a good thing. Recently heard Redhat dropping dev support for a bunch of packages in fedora or something.

I guess most people can’t afford (both time and money) to run an LLM just to have a saner browsing experience. So i suspect the key to adoption would be for the community to band together and spawn some LLM servers for the community backed by donations or other sustainable practices.

The future is probably once again crowd computing. We could probably use the federated network to distribute LLM requests from the community and load balance among those that are running LLM endpoints.

We already paid for the Internet though.

That’s like saying we should gouge out our eyeballs if we don’t want to see banner ads in real life. Fuck that noise.

If they’re hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.).

What, the product magically changes during shipping?

Microsoft terminal. It has profiles for each connection and Ligature support for fonts. Font rendering is good. Theming is nice.

Edit: in the linux world i like konsole and xfce terminal.

It’s PR by Microsoft. I am beginning to doubt the intelligence of many humans rather than that of ChatGPT considering these kinds of comments.

If management weren’t lazy they would make work much much smoother so engineers can actually solve problems they are excited about instead of workaround shitty management policies and decisions.
