That’s really cool! My invention was a means of accelerated processing for images that makes it cheaper to produce what used to be dedicated color processing chips for digital cameras. While these are no longer used today, it did find some applications. At this point there’s a few libraries out there implementing some of it as open source with my explicit permission in the hopes they might find some use in the future and contribute to society that way.

As someone who was awarded several patents, these things were not made to be a source of infinite money forever!

Up there with our copyright law it’s a system that has been horribly abused to the benefit of super powerful corporations that run everything.

No wage. Only work.

To a degree yes, but this madman probably has the ECU running Linux.

True, but you gotta give Linux some slack. All of this driver work is reverse engineered. It would be so much easier if the vendor just published information about their hardware.

You know it’s AI because real humans aren’t nearly as good at hiding their sources.

This requires people to play by the rules. I’ve yet to play a game that actually follows the written rules.

It looks like it’s the same flag to me. I mean, it’s entirely possible that administration could use a different path to applying the setting, but it has the same name.

Trump has been trying to exploit the natural disaster for political gain[.]

Can’t say I’m surprised. Seems to be expected.

I relate to your Windows comment. There was a point where I was that person with a bunch of different tools to modify my OS exactly how I like it, and then I realize I’m just doing more work. If I’m willing to do that work anyway, I might as well have an OS that is more malleable.
