if OpenAI gets to train on Oracles internal documents, you'll get one hell of a lawyer

The feature of Onlyoffice is that it uses MS format (docx etc.) as the default file format. In my experience this does result in OnlyOffice being more compatible with MS Office files. I've seen it be better in layout, as well as media embedded in i.e. ppptx.
So it makes sense in that you get a lot less blow back from users that could care less about sovereignty. I personally have been mainly using LibreOffice and its predecessors all the way back to StarOffice so I do prefer Libreoffice, but if you have to support many users...

Unfortunately there is some controversy on the company behind OnlyOffice and its Russion origins. They are now registered in Latvia, but there still seem to be close ties to Russia.
It is open source though, would be nice if it would be forked by a less controversial party.

a this is the classic Slashdot for which I keep coming back. When the topic is tech, we make car analogies. When the topic is cars, we switch to tech.

Safer?

I live in the EU and am very much pro EU. But the way it is implemented in my view does not make it safer.

I recently bought a new car that has this. The biggest gripe I have with it is that by law the warnings go off at exactly the speed limit. I, like most drivers here, usually drive a little faster. For one the speed that your car indicates is usually higher than it really is. But also when passing a car you're supposed to this with a significant speed difference. So the result is I obviously turn it off and do that every time. Now this can only be done by going in the menu, a menu I cannot access until the car is properly booted which takes some time since it insists on a welcome screen and wishing me a good morning. So I end up doing this when I'm already driving.
The result: I don't use it and end up fiddling in the menus while driving. And I think most people do this as well.
Also in my country the cars cannot always know the exact speed limit. We have a lot of locations on the highway with a 90kph sign only for when the road is wet. We also currently have that between 19:00h and 6:00h the speed limit on the highway on large areas is higher than during the day. My brand new car cannot handle that.

It would be a lot better if:
- you could set the threshold (i.e. 10%)
- turn of the warning on the steering wheel (for situations where you for a short time deliberately go a bit faster, i.e. passing on the high way)
- you could disable it with one button.

You do need t have to worry about me touching your Bud, or any for that matterâ¦.

Very nice to see DSL restarting as a project. Back in the day I used it a lot. It was quite easy to roll your own version of it. I did that quite a lot. There was a very nice feature which I think was called frugal install. This allowed you to install it to HD and boot in a similar way as the CD or USB stick would boot. So effectively boot from a read-only filesystem. For instance interesting for some system used in a public setting where it is an important feature that after a reboot it is 'clean' again. Also it could be loaded completely into memory (provided you had enough)

Recently I was looking in to doing similar and, as DSL was no longer active, I created scripts that allow you to create your own custom .iso based on Debian. They work, can be found here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.com%2Fcustomlivecd%2Fcustomlivecd . So I know from experience what a challenge it is to create such a thing at around 700 mb. A basic system will quickly go over 1GB

From DSL I did copy the concept of Frugal install as well, so you can create your own custom (personalized) .iso that you can install to i.e. an SSD. I also added the option to encrypt your home dir.

What I am trying to get to work now is to include the use of a Yubikey (or other u2f device). However pamu2fcfg seems to not be chroot safe. After booting from an .iso where I enrolled a Yubikey during the creation the key isn't found.

So in all, I am happy to see DSL reactivated. Will definitely play around with it

That's true. I've got a Nokia 8210 4G (a retro feature phone). It thinks it is connected to my car kit via Bluetooth but it doesn't work. Battery time is also not as good as expected. But at least since they are abandoning 2g here, it works on modern networks. It looks like the good old solid Nokia, but it is definitely less quality.

I use it in a hybrid fashion. For work I need a smartphone. When working I use that. The Nokia has a cheap prepaid sim. I've set the work phone to forward calls after 5 times (*61 option). When I'm free I only take the feature phone with me. If they really need me they can reach me, all other stuff I don't see
The reason I do this is, since I did notice that when I was away I really did look at the smartphone way too much. Started with smartphones with the first Android (G1 developers edition). If you are in public place these days, look around. Most people are hunched over looking at their phone. If they are talking to people, every notification and they'll be distracted.

To each his own, but I find it quite relaxing to be without it. The one thing I do miss is maps though, but I am old enough to be able to find my way without.

Me too, since almost a decade, although the trigger was not the root kit episod. The final straw for me was that after a firmware update for a TV (that was needed to solve an issue during the startup phase) I could no longer watch HD DVB-C channels. Downgrading was not possible as they stated 'We don't support downgrades as we want the customers to have the best experience'..... Funny though that I find HD channels a better experience. And no newer firmware would ever be released as they were not selling this model anymore.
Basically, as soon as they can't make any money on a product anymore they don't care. This was not my only issue with Sony, but ever since I have never bought another Sony product.

Hey, the bullhorn up front won't stay on if you go much faster

True ai first needs to learn how to play golfâ¦.

same here on Linux. I also tried the rom for Parallel Worlds, but as expected that didn't work.

I have bought the game a few times, including on the SNES mini, and on the DS3. If they released it on the switch similar to what they did with Link's awakening I'd buy it again on the day of release.
I really never got into the 3d Zelda's and keep playing the old ones and custom roms.

So say we all

Painfully slow? Remember âoepress play on tapeâ ? I was so jealous of my friends that had a floppy drive with their c64. Those 5,25 inch floppies were so fast!

You're right. I checked https://f6ffb3fa-34ce-43c1-939d-77e64deb3c0c.atarimworker.io/~ZiggyZig... and it says:

ZiggyZiggyZig (5490070) is all alone in the world.

I wouldn't underestimate how fast technology can develop. I'm 52, When I was young, we didn't even have a calculator in the house (portable calculators became commonplace when I was about 10) and look where we are now. Having said that, it's true that there are some major hurdles to overcome. Everyone seems focused on safety, but that may not be the hardest part. Getting to a point where a car using FSD can go through the centre of Amsterdam nearly as fast as a human driver is much harder. Achieving that it doesn't run into someone can probably be done, but preventing that it ends up in a deadlock within a few minutes not so much.
I'm looking at what insurance companies will do. The bean counters don't care, they eventually will only look at something like liability per driven mile. And if liability and the cost to the insurance companies is determined equally compared to human drivers, it will give a much more objective verdict on what is safer.

I am hoping though that we'll get there. I have seen too many people still driving at an age when they really should have stopped. If they're lucky they are only a nuisance to other drivers and don't end up hurting others. I hope that when I get to that age, which is just a few decades away, FSD is real and I can hand over the wheel to AI.
The moment an FSD car can get safely and nearly as fast as a human driver throught the city centre of Amsterdam, I'll open a bottle to celebrate. When I'm allowed to have it take me home after drinking I'll open a few more ;-)
