Shouldn't it be Flo's fault for mis-using the API rather than Facebook's fault for just writing a general purpose API?

Or was Facebook untruthful in telling Flo how the data would be used?

True democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

You shouldn't get a lock on your front door because a terrorist might lock their front door? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense... It just leaves the whole world homeless.

So AI is going to replace "passenger attendants" aka stewardesses?

That seems silly, the AI is going to bring me a drink without a robot body? I don't see how this makes sense. (also uber drivers?)

Oddly, for this article, with a credit card payment for one thing.

Control of money (credit cards) is one great way to limit that... Steam is probably one of the safer places online. (They at least require payment for full features making alternate accounts harder to gimmick)

Compare that with a web nanny proxy's effectiveness for the internet at large.

When's the last time you paid for Windows? (usually comes free on integrated laptop / desktop, or non-activated free ISO installation)

There's a secure web browser?!!! (which engine? I'm so surprised to hear this!)

> Not everyone is a full geek, and not a lot of people understand what you mean when you tell them to type in a command in the terminal.

Every user should know what a directory tree is and how to save a file someplace "safe to them". Trying to avoid this creates "software insanity".

Not every user needs to know how to use a command line, but most should have a vague idea that "the dark place" exists and other people use it. That said, anyone who installs an operating system from scratch should probably be able to make the leap of "finding the dark place" and typing a few simple commands. Pre-installing an OS so most people don't need to do this, that gets a bit trickier and partly explains why things are wonky even today. Either the hardware integrator or the phone company seem to be the only folks in a position to do this now, and phone companies are especially bad at house keeping afterward. Frankly, UNIX / Linux hasn't had a good track record with pre-installation for some reason. Probably due to the tiny difference between GPL and BSD licenses. Corporate vendors just can't give up the illusion of "licensing power" and it goes strait to their head every time.

> ChromeOS and Android are signs of the things to come and Windows isn't even on the radar with those usage patterns.

The future is an OS that can't save files, doesn't know where to put files, and can't even properly send email? An OS crippled to not allow installing software unless it is "blessed" in a store front? An OS where editing text files and documents are difficult after thoughts?

Windows may have a lot of problems, but at least it was originally meant to be a general purpose computing platform. Not some gimmicky appliance for making phone calls (blackberry++).

There, fixed that for you.

Now LEAVING the editor... that's a bit more difficult...

Is it still UNIX if the "vi" command is missing on default install?

1976 called, it wants an editor back.

Information just wants to be free.

This is great. I must be getting old since I'm actually finding buzzwords somehow useful now.

"no frills answers"

"vibe coding"

Such simple concepts and a common simple way of phrasing something to facilitate search and "communication".
