Ever since the puck (and needing right click for some 3D modelling software - Ray Dream Studio), I’ve been using third party mice with any Apple computer I use. I had almost forgotten they even make mice.

None of which are intelligence, and all of which are catered towards predicting the next token.

All the models have a total reliance on data and structure for inference and prediction. They appear intelligent but they are not.

This is StackOverflow after all. Your question is wrong. Your problem is wrong. You are wrong. I am right. Thread locked. Go read this other post that is totally unrelated to your problem I’ve decided isn’t the problem you’re facing because. I. Am. Right.

Then don’t use the apps? You’re getting angry about free apps that you aren’t forced to use or even install (they are not even installed by default so you chose to install them).

Also as a LiO user since StarOffice, Apple’s apps are totally different beasts and I don’t see how they could be compatible. It’s like comparing Scrivener to WordGrinder; sure you can write a letter in both but they’re still fundamentally different apps with different functionality and design goals and their file formats aren’t ODF because of that.

If you need ODF/OOXML-like word processing, use apps that support them. Don’t expect non ODF/OOXML-like word processors to handle files they’ve no reason to be mucking about with.

Just remove the apps and install Libre Office? You can literally drag the apps to the trashcan.

I agree with you. It’s not identity, it’s an account. Laypersons are used to drivers licenses (IDs) and bank accounts. The rename is definitely a welcome change and makes Apple consistent with Microsoft and Google etc.

Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia has a capacity of 100,000 and instead of being surrounded by parking, it’s surrounded by parks.

Microsoft aren’t kicking people out of kernel space but expanding the capabilities in user space to minimize the reasons to need to run security components in kernel mode so they can develop and deploy solutions with minimal risk (no security vendor wants that risk when they’re running on business/enterprise machines like CrowdStrike).

Kicking everyone out of the kernel is a long journey and even Apple, who are much further along this path, still haven’t completely closed the door on kernel extensions. It’ll be several Windows versions yet before kernel drivers are no longer a thing.

Eugene Jarvis made such awesome games. If you loved Smash TV back in the day, you should check out Nex Machina for a modern take on his classic twin stick shooters.

Not to excuse the developer but I empathise with why they might have felt compelled to change the license.

One of the biggest pains for any open source project is distributions and packagers who package the software themselves yet make changes or configure in non-standard ways which leads to major overheads for upstream as everyone submits bug reports for bugs introduced down stream and have nothing to do with them.

I feel we, as a community, need to be more vocal about when a project has been modified from the original source for packaging or distribution (where those changes weren’t pushed upstream) to demand the project be renamed in that instance.

I feel for these small developers who do this in their spare time and find the community forcing more work on them and damaging their reputation without any fault of the developer but someone downstream who doesn’t care not want to support what they’ve packaged.

Perhaps there are other solutions? Before other projects decide to use awful licenses and infringe on rights just to try and tackle the problems created by downstream.
