I was interested in reading the article but, like so many I find online these days, the white text on black makes my eyes throb to the point of giving me a headache if I don't stop after a few seconds. so I have to give it a miss. I've read that white text on a black background is easier on the eyes, but it's obviously not universal.

It’s not perfect but I’ve just tested and reader mode does work for this website.

What would get me to stay with Linux (I've been going back and forth for the last few years) would be a fully-featured File Explorer work-alike complete with previews of every file type and a full-on context menu copy. One other thing... the ability to right-click any program icon and pin it to the taskbar. They're little things, but whenever I find myself on Windows 11, those are the things I find I missed most... well, other than being able to run File Locator Pro, NotePad++, and Bulk Rename natively.

Oh, and getting some part of the OS/window manager to remember window placement/size. Wayland/GTK don't and this is NOT an innovation, it's trying to turn the desktop into a phone.

Corel LinuxOS did this at the turn of the century. Xandros took it even further.

Sadly, although a company is still around and owns the names, they do not use any of the original code.

Xandros's version of KDE 2 was the best Linux desktop of its era and it wasn't even close. By a decade later, Ubuntu Unity took that role, but a lot of people don't know how to drive Windows by keyboard, and aren't willing to learn new things, so they hated it -- especially here on HN, which called for it to be cancelled, and Canonical listened.

KDE has that?

Perhaps this AI CEO will bring an end of all this over-paying of top management. Running a corporation isn't rocket science; it's just a matter of putting profit above everything else. Any idiot can do that.

LOL! Hiarious! Take that, management!

It won't last. Remember (when was it? Last year?) when Musk went after Microsoft for turning Open AI into proprietary closed code? We never know what's going on behind closed doors, but something changed, Musk backed off, and nothing changed.

In the first year of Google search, it was possible to find exactly what you were looking for. The engine paid attention to inclusions, exclusions, the whole nine yards. It was a thing of beauty and it was why Google took over from all the other search engines that used to haunt the Internet of the late 1990's and early 2000's. And if what you were looking for didn't exist? You got 0 hits. (Sigh)

...and you could call a friend and say: "insert X into google, click the second result on page 2" - both of you had the same output back then

Let's hope other countries follow suit. Next, let's go after the email spammers! YES!

Wow, that's so much more ambitious than what I'm doing. I'm learning Flet so I can build a multi-headed timer for cooking.

Tobi Lütke also made some rather controversial statements lately, too, agreeing with a retired TD Bank CEO that more votes should be given to the rich. On the surface, this sounds awful, but what Eric Thor actually said was that the number of votes should be tied to the amount of income tax a person pays. Considering that (from what I've heard) billionaires pay no income taxes, I'd say it's not a bad idea. No tax: no vote.
