From my experience, the number one culprit of legacy code breaking is someone asking if anyone knows how it works. Second most common culprit is someone making a "quick patch" to legacy code.

Adjacent comment. I've found working in a true posix environment is drastically better than the oddities I dealt with Win32. One annoyance is Microsoft has never been able to implement fork().
Though i never messed with x11 as I was never motivated to see what it was like under the figurative hood.
Sorry, switched contexts there. Microsoft broke their clipboard service recently which makes me think they added "telemetry" collecting logic somewhere in there.
Also as a life long programmer, I have this feeling it is possible to just go in and make some changes so I can have the system just make shit up about the TPM while indeed also doing the equivalent of having system-d decide to respond with random bullshit.
Don't even need to be a programmer, just find a community of them that you trust that distribute their own "fixes".
Definitely not doing that with anything else because its both hidden in compilation and buried like herpes across multiple components. Probably/hopefully not directly related but I really want to know what they changed to break the clipboard service.
No it was a reply to you and your statement of Apple being predatory, which they indeed are. AI is just a different flavor of sinister.
also there's the TPM chip.
It feels surreal in how unsurprised I am at such rampant fraud. This whole mess is like the Emperor's new clothes was used a blue print and not a cautionary tale.
Trying to find the source of this "AI is designed for wealth to access skill while keeping skill from accessing wealth."
The inverters send status reports for tracking and auditing their production. unfortunately disconnecting some of these systems will cause them to go into standby mode after not being able to call home after two to three days.
Are the flavors something like: Apple is built on captive labor while OpenAI is built on stolen art
Oh I like that but you might scare the MBA's using techno babble like "thermodynamics" :)
this sounds like a half ass attempt to do what what Edgerunners did with Cyberpunk.
