Wasnt DECs True64 unix or something?

Great, then we can ban it with the workers council in the company. Because in Germany we need to consent to such software.

It is time to purge Microsoft from our computers and AI infection is from a operational security standpoint a perfect argument against it.

HP-UX was never any good though, it was always the worst of the UNIXs

They have also invested heavily in education, science and R&D. They are good at innovation; they quickly move new ideas from proof-of-concept to prototype to production. They plan for the long game and set ambitious goals, then allocate resources to achieve them. Doesn't always pan out, and they have their share of economical and industrial problems, but they are outpacing us.

It is technically an interesting event, despite being indisputedly a severe violation of international law. A dictator was removed, and now we have a new rogue state president. An unprovoked attack and the abduction of a head of state.

I am looking forward to the European Digital Fairness Act that will be presented as a draft by end of January 2026.

For the time being it may suffice to file a complaint to antitrust

This kind of abuse of a monopoly needs to be checked.

When has fascist dictators cared about the rulrs?

The president can't invade foreign countries without the approval of congress either

I'm not so sure. Around here (Netherlands) we have something similar to Costco: a big box volume package retail store that sells only to members. The reason they only sell to members was a compromise: they were the first big box "supermarket" to be built around here, and the gov't decided against having big box stores that require a car to reach. Later they made some exceptions for shops like IKEA or DIY stores that require a large footprint. But back then, the compromise was that it was to be a members-only shop, aimed at food and beverage companies (though anyone registered as a business at the Chamber of Commerce can become a member for free).

Anyways, there's no lowlifes at these stores. But I'd be hard-pressed to find a more dour, resentful, impolite and malcontent crowd as the people that frequent them. So it must be something else that Costco is doing right.

This. And it's the same in movies and TV series of the last couple of years. Many of which are not lacking in good direction, acting talent, compelling visuals, good production values. And ruined by utterly garbage writing.

It was a complete and utter failure. It could not do the job not even a little

Are you going to back that up, or in any way adress my comment? Or will you just insist on posting a stupid comment?

Let me repeat: Assuming data is only send when the function is engaged, and the user is clearly informed before they said data is transmitted. It is legal withing EU data regulations.

We have something we are assuming is pushing stuff away or in some other way continously expanding the universe. And it is slowing down, as if it is now further away, sounds like we now know it is 3D space and weakens over the distance it itself is creating.

That sounds like a reasonable and plausible explanation: we (Gen X) have outgrown mainstream movies made for the newer generations. Except that up till 15 years ago or so, when I was already well outside of your target demographic, I was still enjoying most mainstream movies. So was my dad, from the Silent Generation. Also: a lot of my Gen Z / Millennial nieces and nephews are complaining about modern movies as well, and they seem to prefer stuff from the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

Yeah the UK is almost as unfree as the US.

The US never understood to be liberal, educated, or free. Instead just repeating nonsense propaganda
