He's 84 and not dead yet. Why doesn't somebody ask him?

You mean the Gulf of Mexico?

Lots of talk about replacing things with AI, but very little about who's accountable when things go wrong.

Edit: I'd feel much more comfortable with something with lower stakes, like fully automated high-speed rail networks.

Free-to-play is just a ploy for future value extraction.

I typically go out of my way to avoid F2P games. I'd rather pay once for a game, rather than be stuck with a live service that constantly nags about subscriptions or microtransactions.

Some constructive ass-kissing?

Neither is putting random system files/folders in the C: drive outside of where they need to be, like in the Windows folder

Another possible explanation from Hanlon's razor: MS is going all-in on vibe coding

Sounds like the OS is put together with duct tape if deleting an empty folder can break things so easily

I'm still learning how to use it as well, but the basic methodology is to lookup the github page for the app you want to install and add the app to Obtanium using that github link. This is where f-droid comes in handy for finding github pages. Default settings are usually good enough if you don't know what they do.

I've been told that its unnecessary to use the App Verifier to check apps installed through github, but you can still do it if the SHA signature is available on their github.

I use Obtanium since it's apparently more secure than f-droid. F-droid is still a good place to search for FOSS and privacy-respecting apps. For anything that I can't install through Obtanium, I'll use the Play Store.
