If only it were possible. There are tons of bespoke software out there running major systems, that are win-only. I work in a gov't lab, we are windows-only and it's irritating but the software we use will not run under a VM, or WINE, it's straight win-only.
Sure, home use, Linux is there (almost) but business, at least ours, never.
it's because of all the telemetry baked-in to Windows, that is the cause of poor performance and battery life loss while asleep.
It would be interesting to run a be-bloated version of Windows on these systems, and see if it improves anything, or if the whole concept of Windows on a hand-held is a disastrous mess.
but has Netcraft confirmed it yet?
The *nix community has always been thus. I've seen it from the sidelines since the 90s. Only the phrases have changed, the holier-than-thou attitude never has, and probably never will.
Sorry, didn't realize you wanted a list of EVERY CEO who isn't a bad person. I'll do better to live up to your impossible standards next time.
The fact that other CEOs exhibit psychopath tendencies is not relevant. This discussion is about Steve Jobs and what a terrible human being is was.
But to name a good CEO, I"d go with the guy who runs Arizona Ice Tea.
The FDA lied about it, got sued, and had to retract their statement. I have that linked somewhere around here too. Ah, https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
Your summary completely -- and I would further suggest deliberately and maliciously -- mischaracterizes the case. The article you cite states that the Fifth Circuit found that the FDA overstepped its authority by providing medical advice. Nowhere did the court find the FDA's statements were materially false or misleading -- it is and remains a fact that ivermectin is ineffective and inappropriate for treating COVID. Therefore, claiming the FDA "lied" willfully misrepresents the case.
The article then goes on to support my point and the Democratic Administration's efforts -- that misinformation concerning COVID-19 was and remains rampant, and that it needs to be combatted for the sake of public health.
Speech is not violence. Speech is not a threat to public health. Speech is necessary to find truth in society.
Look up the term, "fighting words." Then go visit a venue with a principally African American clientele, and explain how you should be free to use the N-word without consequence, because it's merely "speech."
It sounds to me like your sanctimonious polemics would be better received on X. They have a prettier UI as well. Off you go, sonny...
...there was extensive documentation on how Biden pressured social media companies to silence everyday American citizens. [

Couple 'o things:
Not even ordinary evidence was provided. So we can set that nonsensical statement aside.
The Truth: The Biden Administration was seeking to remove maliciously posted lies and falsehoods concerning COVID-19's risks and how to mitigate them, so that people without mad Google sk1llz searching for information on staying healthy would be less likely to encounter false, life-threatening information.
Example: Back in 2020, there was this slob who suggested on national television that the best way to avoid COVID was to inject disinfectant , and that the disease could by treated by ivermectin -- which is a horse de-wormer (i.e. an anti-parasitic, not an anti-viral). Both claims were absolute bullshit , but nevertheless got repeated millions of times on social media by "everyday Americans." It was this kind of LIFE-THREATENING GARBAGE that the Democratic Administration was seeking to mitigate. So that people wouldn't, y'know... die.
Hope it crashes and burns in a spectacular fashion, and serves as a warning sign to the rest of Hollywood.
Well. It seems that Google has been cowed by -- or now is under the complete control of -- fascist filth.

ve never seen a software distribution mechanism as careless and sloppy as NPM. Bazillions of dependencies and no signing of packages. [

Rust's cargo packaging system is almost exactly the same way. And the last time I looked, Go's packaging was very similar. And package signing won't help if the maintainer's key/cert has been exfiltrated and cracked.
This is what you get when you embrace DLL Hell -- the idea that you should pin your program to a single specific revision of a library, rather than, y'know, doing the engineering work to ensure that, as an app author, you're relying only on documented behavior; and, as a library author, to be responsible for creating backward compatibility for old apps linking to old entry points. Sticking to that principle lets you update shared system libraries with the latest enhancements and bug fixes, while remaining relatively sure none of the old clients will break.
"Sometimes you have to break backward compatibility." Agreed, but the interval between those breaks should be measured in years, not days.
Adult Burmese will survive a cold snap as long as it warms back up. If you are talking about a real winter style extended cold, then yes they are history, but FL doesn't get those (yet...)
Previous comments have been drawing analogies to Black Mirror, but this "idea" goes back much further...
...This is an episode of Max Headroom (US version).
Specifically, S02E02: "Deities." A company claims to be able to bring past loved ones back to "life" as an AI, for a modest recurring fee. But Bryce (the creator of Max Headroom) opines they can't possibly have the compute power to do it, as it requires a large mainframe just to run Max's highly flawed, glitching bust.
Wouldn't surprise me if the "visionaries" behind this saw that episode, and saw an opportunity to fleece gullible rubes.
Thankfully, he was mostly wrong...
