The headshot/spin bots didn't need ai, all they had to do was ask the server where you were standing, and teleported to your location.

I know someone who tried the "aibot plays pokemon" thing...

From what I saw, even if you frame advance every single frame, they still don't seem to grasp the concept of "I need to hold down this button for a few frames until x happens"...

There's no concept of time, just a never ending state machine thats constantly changing state.

This might sound dumb, but whats the point if its intended for slower devices, but those slower devices don't even exist yet?

It's not for slower devices, it's for lower data transfer bills for providers like YouTube.

It's a win for consumers as well if you can get better video quality or more reliable calls on a slower connection.

so that new devices can adopt it

They can't adopt it if it doesn't exist.

And what about old devices? I'm sure someone out there is still using an s5 as a daily driver... Future proofing is great and all, but 240p on modern devices looks like trash, even worse than tube tv.

240p for someone’s webcam thumbnail in Microsoft teams is perfectly sufficient though.

They can keep using whatever they're currently using.

This doesn't take away anything. It's a new standard.

Based on your argument, one should add new safety standards to cars like seat belts, because old cars might not have them.

Well, I just noticed I said 'should' and not 'shouldn't' which I wanted to say

But to your point,

While they might not be required to retrofit, one shouldn't stop defining new safety standards.

one shouldn't*

One shouldn't add new safety standards*

Has it ever occurred to you that some people don't work in the private sector? Working at a hospital for 20 years is enough public service for me, thanks.

Of course, but the comment is not aimed at you, I'm even a little surprised you read it that way. What I tried to point out, is billionaires and CEOs, are still people, and mindset change regarding universal basic income is likely not going to be top-down. I see people (hoping?) that wealthy people eventually start disbursing money out of the blue, but is that really going to happen realistically?

Perhaps in some societies, like France, where profit sharing is more culturally common.

If it's not that, it's older Windows not having unicode support, or Unix vs Windows line feeds...

Not even a slim jim?

They might be referring to deb files, which are like zip files with extra junk inside. Or possibly another format, apks on android are kindof the same way.

Gentoo's portage is already based (in theory) off of FreeBSD's ports system.

Not in theory, but in reality.

Of course, nowadays there is little resemblance between portage and the FreeBSD ports, after a few decades of separate evolution.

When I switched to Gentoo (in 2003), among the Linux distributions (after previously using many others, like Slackware, Redhat, Suse, Mandrake etc.), I had already used for many years (since around 1995) the FreeBSD ports, so this was what attracted me to Gentoo, its software package system and its documentation, both of which had a level of quality comparable with FreeBSD and much superior to what the other Linux distributions provided at that time.
