I’m sure the Antifa Corporation Ltd is involved with this operation at some level…

I know what you mean, but it’s not what you said. :-)

Just wanted to point out that they still have monopoly on the enterprise side of organization infrastructure, which is huge - the number of companies running production systems on self-hosted Linux infrastructure are orders of magnitude fewer than those that don’t, even if the number of Windows servers in total might be fewer.

Microsoft gets paid per employee, per application suite and per cloud service (if Azure is involved for the AD) - not only per server. They were very early on the recurring subscription model almost every SaaS provider is leaning into nowadays, even for on-prem stuff.

Not really. Almost every Windows-based organization over a certain number of employees will use some shape or form of Active Directory (whether on-prem or in Azure) and most likely also Office 365, which is corporate/enterprise infrastrucure that is really hard to migrate away from once you built your IT and processes around it.

All the license fees for just retaining access to and being able to onboard new employees in that infrastructure is a huge portion of the budget for these organizations.

They just gave up the war on competing with UNIX/Linux on the non-enterprise production infrastructure side, since there were no money to be made there.

You forget the other side of the coin with using a rolling distro like Arch - you more or less have to keep updating the system a couple of times per week, especially if you want to be able to install new packages with a lot of dependencies.

Not saying I personally have any problems with it, but it’s worth mentioning when talking about how quick and easy it is to update the system (which it truly is)… ;-)

Lisan al Gaib!

No, it was explicitly called out as a flaw:

You would have to do it between the camera and the data centre, so yes, still possible, but doing it at a later date would be very hard.

Hear hear. Knowledge should be communicated in an easily shareable way that can also be archived as easily, in contrast to a video requiring hundreds of MB:s.

Venezuela was sanctioned because of human rights abuses, corruption, and actions undermining democracy under the Maduro government.

Now replace Venezuela with USA, Marduro with Trump and read this sentence aloud. You americans sure like pointing fingers at socialism as being the root of all evil, but ask yourself how your own country is doing at the moment.

A majority of your citizens cannot afford basic healthcare (a human right according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25) without catastrophical economic side-effects that may haunt them for the rest of their lives, due to Republican politics, and you have a president that is trying to speedrun your country into an authoritarian government where free speech is no longer allowed, unless it appeals to the president.

Venezuela’s system is not owned by workers but by the state - oil - and a few companies, is state capitalism.

This means that the state of Venezuela is free to decide how to use their own natural resources, the price of it and how to distribute the revenue to enrich the country. In contrast, allowing private companies to do so always ends up in foreign actors taking control over the country’s resources with little to no regard for long-term sustainability. History has many examples on foreign states (many times USA) overthrowing governments in such countries in order to priviatize exploitation of natural resources for their own financial gain.

You might want to read about how Eisenhower did this in Guatemala back in 1953, using CIA to launch a covert propaganda operation with the mission to oust the socialist government and criminalize socialist ideology by arresting his supporters, politicians and union leaders in order to ensure that the american company United Fruit could continue exploiting the country into ruin:

200,000 Guatemalans were killed in the process!

Will your body produce CO2 without having oxygen to break down in the first place?

The fact that they do not store any customer data was put to the test in 2023, when the Swedish police raided their offices and left with nothing.

They also spend a lot of time and resources into researching and advancing technology around measured boot and running as much as possible in memory, without having to use disk storage.

Thank you!

It might explain Trump but not necessarily the people advising him on which decision to make.

That fox witch sticker is awesome, where did you get it?

Absolutely love it, in all forms. Yerba mate to start my morning and Club-Mate to extend the night!

I kinda imagined the person seemingly sitting down as being mid-fall, thrusted backwards by the blast. Somehow captured with arms and legs in perfect right angles at the time of being pictured, by accident

I really like the idea of relevant + flag as additional (more weighted) attributes compared to just agree/disagree, as you might disagree with a poster but still want to mark the comment as valuable for the discussion (which can’t be done on Reddit since you’ll downvote them to the gutters).

I’m hoping it won’t result in too much micromanagement of different attributes for each post, but am curious to see how it turns out.

Thanks! Totally missed that setting.
