You should try to communicate to managers (that are US citizens or greencard holders) that decide on H1B/outsourcing.

True. But the common man on the street wants things to be cheap. This is not sustainable unless on imports cheap h1b (or other overworked foreigners). Edit: This is not meant to support h1b. Ideal case - people that are not on H1B and work

I know some webhosting provider that used one VM for every user. Now they moved to using this. Firstly low resource usage. If one uses ZFS or btrfs then one can save storage as in common bits are not duplicated across system containers. Not

I just use the term throwaway instead of JohnDoe. A quick search: https://abcnews.go[.]com/US/hit-run-drivers-kill-people-jail... If I find the legal podcast link then I will link it here.

This gets worse when reading developer documentation - Github does not allow for 'web' VSCODE to have English (if I use non-English OS locale or browser). - Google - developer sites (API) translate it to local language. While one

You are lucky if you find a mum with 3 kids or cafe owner or a fruit seller using TOTP in keepassXC. Do you know they would prefer a phone (not laptop/desktop)? They dont have laptop.
