Does it even ask for verification? If not, the problem with it is that it seems to require the OS provider (not the local installation) to store the age.

They even used the correct terminology, 'slop'. I would not support Linkedin, but this is a good thing. I wish more platforms had it.

Digital sovereignity is when we're forcing everyone to use Android or iOS in order to access online services? https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technic... >

Non-generative AI is not slop.

I suppose that it will be implemented with that "app" which coerces everyone into having Android or iOS (AOSP won't work, it needs to be attested)?

I don't think that we should want some locked-down insolution forced upon everyone, European or not.

The browser itself is nonfree. I would not be surprised with it promoting more nonfree software.

I find it interesting that it uses GTK, something quite unusual for a proprietary app. In any case, I am not using it, because I don't want to use a nonfree WWW browser.

I don't know why I can't trust this type of slop website.

I have a better idea: convert it to a prompt and commit the prompt to the repository. Then Mythos will be your compiler.

Maybe the keyboard could be removable to satisfy those users as well.

You should not want a third platform which is as locked as Android/iOS, but the option to have platform-agnostic banking, for example, with the WWW, combined with unlocked bootload…

Then tell me how PCs have survived for 40 years, given that you can always install another OS.

From the user's perspective, it is not Unix-like, even though it contains Linux. FreeBSD is more similar to GNU/Linux than Android is.

Also, I do not see any confirmation of the N9 running standard GNU/Linux apps like the N900. But if the N900 continued, it would have been entirely different.

Or the "status" stream (you can still redirect it and it is useful sometimes).

You are comparing CLIs to GUIs. Anyways, there are GNU/Linux GUIs with the help manual (often still F1), but I would attribute the lack of manuals in some newer GUIs to a general t…

Indeed, and the jq example invocation is way too trivial. It is better not to put it there.

Display output on success, but keep it brief. Traditionally, when nothing is wrong, UNIX commands display no output to the user. This makes sense when they’re being used in scripts…
