Even Debian has popcon as an opt in. I can see why collecting data about hardware and package choices is useful to Ubuntu. I didn’t think they collected any personally identifying information.

I also have a diverter which heats up my hot water tank which saves on gas, especially in the summer.

Export to the grid, for every kWh I export during the day I can afford two kWh overnight.

If it’s finding valid vulnerabilities then it’s just another tool like static analysis, fuzzers and sanitizers. There definitely seems to be a difference in quality compared to earlier generations that were behind the sloppy avalanch of reports.

I think the article is over complicating things. I work in a project which is heavily forked for a variety of reasons. While it’s academically interesting to look at the reasons for those downstream forks we have no interest in going to the considerable effort of tracking them all.

If you can take a project and use an LLM to enable your niche use case then more power to you. FLOSS was never about ensuring all patches flow upstream.

Especially useful on my TV’s anemic Sony browser when I’m trying to diagnose of my network is crapping out or the apps are just in a go slow.

The amount of drama bait this caused over the last week was something to behold.

I like to think I’m reasonably technical and I do put network and some devices restrictions on their accounts. However stuff still gets through and I don’t really want to play a cat and mouse IT admin game with my kids. If I as the root user could set the field on their PC’s and that would allow them to access age appropriate services without having to hand over personal data to some age verification service then i’d consider that a useful feature.

When they get the keys to root they can set it to whatever they please.
