I sometimes wonder if Qmail had had a clear license, if Gmail would have destroyed the self-hosted mail ecosystem so thoroughly.

Sounds like stuff Stalman wrote about 45 years ago, are windows users really that far behind?

This has been true for a long time, CPU sockets don’t last long enough to make upgrades worth it, unless you are constantly upgrading. Whenever i’ve built a “futureproof” desktop with a mid-high end GPU, by the time I hit performance problems I needed a new motherboard to fit the new CPU anyway. Only really upgradable components are storage and ram, but you can do that in your laptop too.

The main advantage of Desktops is still that you get much more performance for your money and can decide where it goes if you build it yourself.

The average European is fine (just don’t ask them about Romanis), but the people that fill their national subs hold the same views as Trumpers Yet snear at Trumpers.

The problem with the myth of the fascist making the trains run on time, is Musolini reaped the benefits of the Social Democrats work.

So now Italy has facists who can’t even run the cable cars on time.

In the past, that kind of activity by U.S. agents has been a normal part of major international events like the Olympics.

Has it? NPR should expand on that because it seems like Trump is using ICE as a sort of pretorian guard (not actually trusting them with his life but using them as goons to look tough while the SecretSeevice do the real work)

SpaceX isn’t public so 9-5s will just buy TSLA instead.

Also thanks too Moore’s “Law”, pretty much anything launched will have 1/2 the processing power of something on the ground of equivalent size every 2 years.

Part of the success of cloud hosting is that thanks to Moore’s law companies were hesitant to buy hardware only to have it quickly become outdated*.

*cloud servers are actually pretty expensive so it really didn’t work out like this, but by the time that was obvious, the advantage of cloud was you had support for aaS Software built in (e.g Database, load balancing, caching, etc), and downstream of that is the death of open source vendors being able to get by selling support, but I’m sure that won’t have any negative effects 🙄.

Not a space expert but in v1.5 isn’t the center of mass being unaligned with the center of drag going to cause issues over time?

over concerns that they could be remotely accessed by China and used to spy on sensitive sites.

Sufficiently advanced paranoia is indiciferable from magic.

Is it using a subspace transmitter? because anything else is going to be easy to detect with a firewall.

Like I think the UK should use British made cameras to spy on its people, but the paranoia around China being pumped out is ridiculous.

Lol, either these won’t be able to cool themselves or they will pump out heat straight into the upper atmosphere, which seems like a bad idea (I honestly don’t know enough but I suspect we simply don’t have the data to know what long term negative effects it will have)

Also just like Starlink this is a really dumb way to solve any problem other than how to inflate SpaceX valuations.

Now the lie that Starlink is resistant to censorship has been exposed twice (Ukraine & Iran), this is just the test Elon Grift.

Start on any standard distro do a net install or equivalent and pick a different DE, I’d recommend Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian/Suse, but YMMV

You can just admit you don’t understand the joke or security.

It’s a joke because AI tells people to kill themselves, so presumably an AI talking to businesses will talk them into shutting themselves down.

And as Mamdani is a socialist, he presumably wants private businesses to shutdown (and be replaced by cooperatives)

Better than ongoing death, but does anyone trust a state to keep their word, espexially one heades by a former Al-Qaeda

Krita is what I use but I also find text handling difficult so I always do text last.

I dunno I’m in favor of telling businesses to shut themselves down.

USSR should have left Cuba with a Nuke, and I’m generally anti-Nuke

As if China isn’t one of Israel’s biggest trading partners.

None, if it’s not in a Debian repo I don’t deploy it on my stable server.

It’s not really about docker itself, I just don’t think software has married enough if it’s not packaged properly
