While good news, too little too late.

The amount might be substantial to a lone developer, it took 14 years and is pocket change for a large telecom provider.

This will not change the behaviour of any large-ish company, the penalty should have been several orders of magnitude larger.

I would rephrase the question.

What I would like to see in an “enterprise” Linux distro is a long support cycle. Ubuntu LTS is only 5 years, and that's way too short. RH was 10, but usually quite some time between release, so effective support window was shorter. I very much would like a distro with a much longer support lifecycle.

Sure on my development desktop I don't mind tinkering, but rebuilding a server every 3-4 years is undesirable.

If I had mod-points you would get them. Came here to write more or less the same.

As long as they aren't interested it will be ignored, as soon as they are interested they will find a way. This goes for any content.

It will only inconvenience the public not (officially) targetted by this policy.

It was fairly easy to get started with, and I now have a single codebase for an extensive internal business app used on for both Android and web.

If you are already familiar with a different framework, you might have to get used to using code for layout. Once you do get the hang of it, the layout is simple and very predictable, and "predictable" was never a state I attributed to css.

YMMV

I'm shocked, I'll say. Shocked.

Except it doesn't.

You can send a Meet-invite and hope the recipient sees your invite and joins the Meet.
With Hangouts you could video-call and it had its own notification so you knew somebody needed your attention now.

20dB is 100 times louder.
~ 6dB will give you 4 times louder.

Anything in Aviation is usually nautical miles.

Nah, China needs to learn to get along with the rest of the world.

This webpage is a crime against humanity.

It's a slideshow and individual slides, and you're speed limited looking through them. Whoever thought of that should be publicly shamed and not be allowed to ever hold any job impacting any kind of user interface.

The media (tape or disk) is irrelevant.

You should have at least two back-up solutions.

If you have only two, one should be off-site.

If you have more than two, you could ge for on-line (snapshots), archived backup on a removable media, and rotate the off-line backup off-site.

I have an older smartwatch (Amazfit Pace) for about three years now, and it is still doing two weeks on a charge, give or take.

I was kinda looking forward to this until I say the battery life. I'm not getting one I need to charge every f* day.

You tell me "a scientist named Aisi Fu", no way this is a coincidence...

Vaccines are not, or at least should not, be political.

A lot of misinformation about vaccines are most likely politically motivated and amplified and shared mostly by scared, uneducated people and a few who know better but think it's to their advantage.

While I agree with what Linus said, and I don't think I could have said it better, including the biology lesson, I highly doubt it will change anybody's opinion about vaccines.
The problem isn't a lack of information. It is a lack of understanding. It baffles me what ridicules easily disprovable, inconsistent drivel people believe. It's a failure in education, mostly people are taught what to think instead of how to think and how to evaluate information.

I personally will NOT pay €7 p/h to be bored and unproductive as a posed to just unproductive. And personally I utterly detest even the notion of rent seeking on something I already paid for, and I hope, but not expect, it will die out swiftly in such a horrible manner it won't return any time soon.

Having said that, I'm not the target market. €7 p/h is very cheap for a private chauffeur or taxi driver, so I expect some organisation will be fooled and buy into this, and so it will persist and will be allowed to pollute manufacturer user relations for the foreseeable future.
