i don't see how it's a design mistake, linux allows more footguns in general to not decrease utility. Allowing you to manually give root prompt access (with warnings!) to a non-root user is one of them.
you can also just not run docker as root and not add normal users to the docker group
it already sends data back to google, the ai stuff, everything that goes in the address bar goes straight to google unless you specifically configure chrome to block it
the on-device ai just offloads some work onto your device
i doubt anyone will be banning chrome, for some reason "it's for ai" is a valid excuse for any amount of sillyness
i think it was just poorly implemented. i didn't use the circles feature because all my friends would be in one circle and my family were all offline, but i still had to deal with it for no personal benefit
opt in probably would have been better, like just default everyone to one circle and make it obvious how to split them up after you're a bit more comfortable with the platform
they made a bunch of other obvious blunders like attempting to force real names and spread them to youtube, mandatory account linkage etc etc but i think there were probably just too many conflicting high level voices at google trying to set direction
Unless this is improved greatly from the last time I used it is pointless, any command you would use it for instead requires you to right click, open as administrator a command prompt to get the expected result
I disagree, Sol Trujillo became ceo of Telstra in 2005 and immediately started cutting everything to the bone, Kevin Rudd didn't even get into power until 2007 and the NBN wasn't announced until 2009, fairly large gap there
Australia is still pretty messy, Telstra was privatised and pretty much stopped upgrading their network for years around the 24 mb ADSL level
Eventually we had a forward thinking prime Minister create a new company that started running fibre to homes and wholesaling it to non government businesses but they lost power and fibre to the home became fibre to the neighbourhood running the last bit over existing phone lines
Eventually it was returned to fibre to the home as upgrading existing lines to run shitty 100mb connections was actually much more expensive than just running fibre
We're only now starting to get to the point where fibre is fairly available when it could have been ten years ago
while true i think it's inevitable. bots are most of the internet, limiting communities to known good actors is becoming incredibly important and the side effect of removing unknown good actors is difficult to get around
If you use multiple terminals it kinda sucks unless you do export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a' in your.bashrc or something cause only the last closed terminal saves to history
If it was easy I would expect 5-10% if people would probably do it, much like alternate desktop installs
This would mean millions of devices
You mention Graphene is more secure so what exactly am I gaining from not being able to install it other than my phone being trash once it's out of support
there are other industries who's entire business revovles around selling to addicts, why would MS of all companies suddenly balk at that line?
