Java is overall a good language for getting things done, although not enjoyable to work with (thank god we have Clojure)
They're not a silver bullet, but they have their usecases. Quantum internet can be very interesting due to instantaneous communications. But for general purpose computing, a hybrid approach of quantum+classical is most probably the way to go. There's limited use cases for quantum computing in general computing.
I have built web components and used them. They're actually great. Especially for enhancing and updating legacy software.
although most my focus goes to Hypermedia systems architecture and HTMX. So most things are rendered on the server, and for complex client side stuff, we miggt use webcomponents.
But notice that lisp was the only one where you actually built a horse.
The MUST contribute back.
If they go into this as "yay, we get software for free" they are bound to fail and are leeching the community. They should contribute the same or at least half of what they're spending on proprietarysoftware currently.
How dare you
I tell them these. Even the social aspects tha they don't neccessarily track YOU as a single person but they get concrete data on how to manipulate a network of people or a community, country etc.
They accept these, but none of these convinces them. They go "so what?"
I also agree with your points on ethics and the knowledge shrinking. But I can't think of a sane route. Not using AI in the current state will leave the kernel behind (at least in security matters which is obvious), and using it will degrade the quality of the software itself, and its community.
I think 90% of anti-linus and linux posts tgat we're seeing are microsoft/apple psyops campaigns. They're milking this as much as they can
Because redhat/IBM are inherently evil and try to takeover FOSS as much as possible
A problem is that the whole train of tech is moving very fast, for good or for bad. For one thing, when bugs are being exploited by AI in mass, tge only way to fight is by using AI to fix them in mass. No other way round it. So the workload has increased immensly. And other OS are probably on their path with new capabilities and tech.
if linux doesn't stay relevant, it will become obsolete. We love linux and we want it to be the more dominant OS, while staying FOSS and ethical, right?
Linus has to keep the pace and I don't think we have a single person more competent and knowledgeable about OS than Linus. We should support him and help. Infighting and nagging will only wear down the already small and fragile FOSS community and adopters. I think it's the best thing for corporates to kick down FOSS
