I have no baseline for thus sort of thing, might be why I thought this was a lot. Considering software engineer salaries alone puts a pretty big dent in this amount.

Does the linux foundation actually spend 7.2 mil? That sounds like a lot tbh, especially for a non-profit.

If you pay attention you can hear a hundred NSA assholes tear their hair out

What is your opinion on using Claude or similar to cross check decisions for robustness? Yay or Nay?

So, like spotube? Does it also use the same download mechanisms in the background?

Only works in tiny countries with a monoculture. In which case it becomes irrelevant.

I can honestly say with some confidence that I can narrow down the set of countries that you might be from, just from this one comment of yours. No one who has lived in any kind of diverse-culture environment could espouse a brain dead take like this.

Also, when your government mandates something like this, you can be sure its not going to be your language that is being forced on you.

EDIT: Ah, nevermind - I just read through your comment a few more times and I think you have a valid position to defend - I think even the most diverse countries have like one or two official languages and a host of other languages.

EDIT 2: Problem with having an official language for schooling is that it immediately disadvantages every other language simply because children spend 8 hours in school with this “official” language. Considering there is little hope of full fluency in a foreign language after formal education, it will slowly push out any cultural languages.

Now that the cats out of the bag they need to move fast and secure anything that can be used against them. Hence the doubling down?

Challenge countries? LMAO, no. Maybe one of them, some particularly daft cunt, might delude himself into saying or doing some shit that attracts the attention of some state actor, and then either “kill himself” or just “pass away”.

Serious state actors can point a districts worth of people into the sole interest of murder. Most of these people don’t even know what they’re doing or why. Just entire machinery solely for killing one dude, and this dude doesn’t even have a nuke or two to launch if things go sideways? Training exercise. More likely it’s going to be their own government.

I meant no insult, just that the comment had sentence structure that I’ve seen in LLM responses.

To be honest, I kind of prefer this, because the alternative on many computer centric discussions is just people assuming I know everything they know and just throwing jargon left and right. Atleast here I can infer details from context.

Holy chatgpt response

This, I worked at one of the most stickler for windows workplace for a while and every web office thing worked. The most trouble I had is with teams videos, but that is only because the h264 codec download link was broken, unrelated to Microsoft or Linux. I used Linux Mint Cinnamon and everything was fine.

Well it isn’t paranoia if North Korean impostors really are working in your company.

Does this hold true if you don’t use any meta apps? Or maybe no meta apps except WhatsApp or something which is not a public discourse medium anyway?

It’s punycode. Get with the times.

Hey, how has your experience running mint on Mac been? Hows your battery life?

I’ve used both Libreoffice and Onlyoffice along with Microsofts offerings. I’ve gone several hours in onlyoffice to only notice when I’m saving that I was using Onlyoffice instead of Microsoft Excel. That’s how similar they look.

If your parents left you a home, you’re probably a millionaire too. Many blue collar working folk are millionaires, except if they tried to spend those millions they’d become homeless.

I saw the interview and you can look at the guy and how he is talking and it is apparent that he hasn’t left that wreckage yet. The entire time he speaks like he is fighting against that knot in your throat when you’re right about to cry. And losing his family’s business at this state has also got to hit hard.

I hope he recovers, poor guy.

Pro gamer move.
