The anti virus industry needs to crack down on crawler and proxy malware, plus ISPs FINALLY need to replace CGNATs with iov6 to stop crawlers banning everyone behind a NAT.

Anti-virus, maybe, the ISP definitively needs to step up and just shut off people internet when large amounts of bot traffic is detected. IPv6 is going to do nothing, because right now you're getting scrapped/attacked/DDoS/whatever with a single request from millions of IPs at once.

the root of the root of all evil: NAT

How exactly does IPv6 "stop crawlers".

If anything, it will make it harder to block due to the vastness of the IPv6 address space.

CGNAT makes all ISP users appear to come from one v4 address, so blocking by v4 address becomes unworkable.

This will mean the next generation will grow up with open source AI. High schools and junior colleges offering computer courses will have to give their students different coding tools than the industry standard.

Good, the less capable they are, the more students will actually have to learn.

Yeah, there's the obvious analogy here to physical automation methods and tools.

Kids don't go to gym class to determine who can stack crates most effectively with a forklift.

Those sound like perfectly good things to learn. Mental math and handling animals.

For a medieval child

Or they will use OpenAI, which allows guardians to complete age verification and enable work for kids age 13 to 17.

Anthropic will likely open up, too. Right now both companies have more than enough demand and don't want to risk any journalists trying to do another "think of the children" panic.

Or the industry standard will change

Most Linux distros update more than Windows, it's not a platform where technical progress is restricted. Even other Unix like systems still get lots of updates.

It's always yet another yext editor instead of helping get people off Adobe's subscription trap.

Document writing is for humans in their own words.

I don't see how that allegory relates. Understanding software is something that comes from education, time and experience. It can't he withheld to the same extent that it can't be magically imbued. AI can't give you that, because it doesn't have it to give.

Add ARM boot camp, MacOS is too restrictive compared to modern Linux. Asahi's devs can't keep up with the constant hardware releases so official support is important.

Will they add it to Firefox 115 for the remaining Windows 7/8 users or will you need a new operating system to add an image format?

The remaining users on EoL platforms should move on to supported ones.

That would be a more reasonable thing to say if the successor platforms weren't such user-hostile collections of dark patterns.

What’s keeping you from trying modern Linux distributions, eg. Cinnamon?

If some Windows-only applications are holding you back, most run well under Wine nowadays, and the rest you can run conveniently in a VM.

Come on man! They’ve only had 10-15 years! It snuck right up on them.

Every home user moved away when snap happened.
