You are assuming it’s going to break if it gets no better it is already useful and may well get much cheaper after all the dotcom bubble breaking didn’t eliminate computing

Not on the company provided computers we used on my last job guess they would just be illegal

Face id is putting a very good camera very close to your face and asking it if the face inches from the screen and stationary with respect to the camera matches exactly one face.

Facial recognition is asking a worse camera if a moving partially obscured face is one of 338M legal residents and citizens or potentially millions of illegal folks. Since this is inherently an incredibly harder task it doesn’t take much to make it impossible.

You use AI glasses which claim to identify aliens because you can use its constant false positives to pretend to be following the law.

Notably the risks aren’t simply that this will identify the undocumented its that it will provide a pretext to disappear almost anyone who isn’t white.

The question is does any given non-white person look enough like one of over 10M people to get falsely flagged given agents a pretext to remove almost anyone they stop. Facial recognition of one person against a large enough database will almost always provide at least on possible match this is especially true if it matches against possible aliens and not against possibly aliens and citizens. EG a query of both will likely turn up Betty Sue Smith is herself and maybe a possible match with Known Deportable but a search against only aliens may return only Known Deportable with agents dismissing any claim by Betty that her ID must be fake.

What do you think what you posted even means? covering most of what it is using to identify is already going to make it drastically more difficult to match

Yes. Dude who created one of the most useful projects in software history in large part because of pragmatic decision making makes a pragmatic decision and Joe Rando says “Must be in the pockets of big AI!” because he can’t grasp any singular aspect of a complex issue. Can’t even hold in his head a tiny number of things just vomits crap over the internet. That person needs to spend a lot more time reading and thinking and less typing.

Unlike brilliant people like you who have created nothing one millionth the importance of Linux

Man I love that face

They use a lot more disk do they actually use meaningfully more ram? Other than obviously inherently bloated web tech stuff?

Do you actually feel like Windows or Mac are more responsive with the same RAM?

I found a lot of flawed measurements which ended up measuring different things. This seems like a fairly respectable measurement even for being a few years old

Simple environments like xfce or mate under X11 are around 600 MB. Gnome X 1300MB Gnome Wayland 1400. Seems pretty clear that gnome is a significant factor in the increase on the other hand most machines now come with 8-16

No no it doesn’t. It’s spec acknowledges that in addition to your OS you also run applications.

Why do we care if anyone has room to complain?

How hard is this to understand. Women frequently feel unsafe with strange men in uncontrolled situations like alone in a car because men who are commonly bigger and stronger commonly beat and rape women. Men who are on average bigger and stronger are very rarely assaulted or raped by strange women because women are both less physically imposing and are less prone to violence and most specifically sexual violence. Whereas its not impossible or unheard for a woman to be so this is so uncommon it is rarely something people are reasonably concerned about either factually or culturally.

Did I really need to tell you any of that or did you in fact already know that. The whiners here do NOT want men to be equal and have the ability to chose men drivers they want women not to have a path to discriminate against them because THEY believe they aren’t the problem. Hell the guys who ARE the problem are also sure they aren’t the problem.

You are assuming that the cachy devs want the help of folks who have not demonstrated competence in their own project or want to do stuff how manjaro does

I’m dubious

You need a citation for many women being unsafe with random men in a car but the reverse not being true. OK buddy.

No because the presumption is that you will provide ID to your employer and they will go by whatever is on the ID when assigning rides.

It’s not. You as an employee or contractor aren’t entitled to a particular client being assigned to you against that clients wishes. Customers are allowed to pick their contractor
