Frankly you don't even need to use AM/PM for casual conversation... "I'll see you at four" almost certainly doesn't mean 4am unless it's very clear from contextual information, same for verbally booking appointments
It's just things like travel timings etc which are likely going to be written anyway where you actually need that clarification
The difference is people still write Java, regardless of whether it's a dated pos or not, so the use cases have evolved
Then there's the use of the JVM/JRE which have evolved even more due to Scala, Clojure & Kotlin
My apartment is from 1865 but "own" is a little tenuous... Beyond that it's probably down to probably 20 year old cutlery or my tv stand which is actually a crate that's around 100 years old
Yeah, it's a classic of locking you in and hiking up the prices, and the people capable of porting those sheets are probably way too overworked dealing with supporting the vast majority who have no idea how they work to spend time on it (or getting fired by Elon for not doing anything while being the single block that supports the tower)
It sucks, but I wouldn't give up on trying to get them to convert, just be aware that it's very possible that this will be one of the biggest technical (as opposed to administrative) blocks.
Yeah, now AI can produce infinite slop there's no need for human-produced slop anymore
Most users of word & powerpoint are fairly basic users, but if you're using excel for work then there's a surprisingly high likelyhood you're using a sheet written by a wizard with arcane skills in it with the number of VB macros, pivot tables, and things most people don't even know exist.
Even if you're just a user and not creating them, and their functionality would better work in a dedicated program or a database, chances are it'd still break unless you're very lucky.
Most likely a skiing/mountain biking/car/surfing/hiking/tragic boating accident would be my best guess, other than cancer... If you're not suicidal, a risk taker or into extreme sports it's most likely going to be cancer though
Looking in that thread it seems to be largely small scale/fine tuning where the data is cherrypicked... they're not considering the corporations which create the models they're finetuning in the first place
Do people need to care?
Do what you need to to secure your privacy, and let people know how much of a travesty it is that their privacy and rights are being stripped away, but at the end of the day they're their own people and so if they choose not to care that's their decision, and it's not up to you to choose how they're allowed to think or live their lives, even if it appears obviously wrong and short-sighted to you or I
Source tarballs are often super sensitive to environment and distro such that you'd need to modify them to work on the specific distro/with the specific dep versions and so at that point, just precompile binaries?
It's also much quicker for the end user, nobody wants to wait 5-60 minutes for their package to install unless you're making modifications to it
Works fine on eternity
