Seems the regime is OK shooting their way out of this problem. How big are these protests? 30K isn't exactly a small number of protestors.

OK, but XML is a pretty solid format for a lot of other stuff that doesn't necessarily need network transmission.

FIPS is what happens when idiots get promoted and start reading too much LinkedIn CISO slop. If a customer demands FIPS compliance charge them out the ass for it. Its not inherently secure, it requires in some cases massive re-engineering o

Microsoft already has a Linux, it is known as Azure Linux or cbl-mariner depending on the variant. It is not setup for being a general purpose OS. It is what we are supposed to use as our OS for Linux based services in Azure. I just dont bu

Europe cant afford to have enemies on both sides. It will align with the US reluctantly because even a bat shit crazy US is better than Russia. China plays it too close to the chest to be a friend.

Death of PC gaming incoming. Happy I just bought my 5080 before Christmas. Theyre all on borrowed time.

Scott Adams was influential on me in my younger years but he was always a bit out there and that caught up with him eventually. The brain rot that took him in the last decade made him basically unreadable.

Haven't thought about IceWM in ages, that's good to know it works out of the box well. I'll have to check it out!

Loved XFCE but it's borderline unusable with high DPI monitors and dual monitor setups that aren't the same.

Not doing much. Playing PC games and watching the world burn. Not much I can do. Just bought a new 5080 this week. Hoping I can hunker down in my cave for the next couple years and see what's left of the world in 2030. Oh yea, beer, lo

Im not convinced Trump cares anymore. For whatever reason that may be, he has decided there is nothing that can stop him at this point. There is no congress or court that will hold him accountable. His supporters are unwavering and drunk on

Democracy is not just a switch you flip on or off. Iran has literally no cultural history of anything than autocracy. Monarch -> Shah -> Theocratic Dictator. Its a very western view that Democracy is the pinnacle form of government. I

Not much we can do, our system of government is broken at the moment and we're too sparsely spread out for protests to be treated as meaningful.

Also, what kind of AI tasks is the average person doing? The people thinking about this stuff are detached from reality. For most people a computer is a gateway to talking to friends and family, sharing pictures, browsing social media, and

I'm sure putting it outside makes you feel better but it's a death sentence regardless for most house spiders to be put into the outdoors.

I love XFCE but I've had a hell of a time getting it to work nicely with multiple high DPI monitors. I finally gave up and went to KDE which.. just works. Unfortunate because the minimalism of XFCE is way more my style.

So where do we go from here? Venezuela doesn't have the capacity to strike back. I assume this triggers a civil war for power. Maduro is a dead man flying to his future grave.

These are all pretty niche products at this point. For the true professionals that need these tools they're stuck but most people can find reasonable alternatives for their hobby or side hustle.

I dont get the feeling they care. Microsoft is so lost under Satya at this point. Totally blinded by Azure and AI and stock price growth. At some point they're going to realize all the ground they've lost and it's going to be
