Yes the moment the “article” framed modularity and replaceability as a problem it was clear for me that this is nothing else than product placement… Those things are features I would wish my car would have.

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…

Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.

Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.

To be fair this is not a Reddit thing and it can be found in the fediverse too. I can remember some of such situations where a person just posted wrong stuff but in a very confident way. I was able to prove him wrong later but nobody cared anymore.

Wait… there is a different C than C#?

From what I read technically “Android” is used as the most popular smartphone OS in China. But that’s only because android is the foundation of costume Chinese OS that comes without any google services (nice) but is also highly restricted against side loading. Of course like always ways should exist to workaround those restrictions.

But to be honest getting information about all the restrictions people in china need to suffer from getting harder l with every day since they get encapsulated more and more.

I don’t know if this was just a joke or you really mean it that way.

I would partially agree that there are a lot of similarities between Mao and Trump, but current situation in USA is nowhere near current situation in china.

I’m quite sure they will only allow this in EU (and maybe USA). If they do allow this in China, Regime will most probably ban every alternative app Store… if this is not already banned.

Thought and prayers to the people of china. I feel like they lost everything in 1989. Still hope they find the strength to get rid of this depressing system.

Because usability. If you have the files down down1 down2 downxyz and download and the user only knows that it was “something with down” it’s best to show the user everything matching “down*” and let the user decide what’s the correct one.

Also I’m not sure but wouldn’t your expression show everything if only one character would be entered?

And again I don’t see this solving anything if the entered string actually contains other characters then what’s in the file (D != d)

Yes one could argue that some form of advanced algorithm or even AI could be used to identify such use case like download and Download but this is programming Humor, not linguisic Humor.

down matches down* because * also includes empty string. Also download matches down*

D matches D* but d is not matching D* because D is a different character than d.

Sorry, down is a substring of download I don’t get your point either?

I don’t get it… “D” is a complete different character than “d” is.

It’s like wondering why “file1” is not opened when I typed in “file2”.

Exactly. ChatGPT is just the most prominent service using a LLM. Would be less concerned about the hype if all the free training data from thousand of users would go back into an open system.

Maybe AI is not stealing our jobs but if you get depending on it in order to keep doing your job competitive, it would be good if this is not controlled by a single company…

Did we mentioned that it is closed source proprietary service controlled by only one company that can dictate the terms of it’s usage?

Hey stop being sarcastic! This is a serious programing community here… Wait.

I thought that’s what GIF was created for… Even if the original introduction of it is saying something completely different.

And now they also have to pay back like 2 billion dollar of investor money… What sense does this make?

There are always all kind of directions and forces in all of politics not only in EU.

That’s why we need to always watch the voted representants all the time. Sadly many people only see democracy as something you started to deal with two weeks before a main election…

I do not understand how this should be interconnected. Why would the chat control law make Linux illegal? And isn’t this a completely different topic? OPs post was about “Cyber Resilience Act” and like zero_iq already explained Open Source software is explicitly excluded from this.

But beside this I thing the chat control law is a very bad idea that really need more focus in mainstream media.

I think there is definitely so time traveling going on here.
