That is true. and funny, and sad but true.....

I am actually surprised that pottering hasn't forked a version of chrome that's integrated as a core library for his systemd suit.

They just removed windows 7 games from windows 7 computers. Note the client still works, it just wont let you launch your window 7 (or xp) games anymore.

I got a bunch of physical disks I bought in error as it requires online steam account to even install, let alone play.

China will likely fear rash decisions trump would do, he would goto war even if it was only his ego on the line.

If china doesn't invade in the next 2-3 years it will lose the opportunity as all the other nations in the area are ramping up preparing for china to start a war.

As badass as USA is in war, and as inept the china one is, USA is spread across the globe, china isn't. And modern war depends on chips out of that region of the world. We need fabs (and factories) in NATO counties.

If china invaded USA would run out of supplies in weeks, and have a very long pipeline to get them into an area dominated by china. And a now a broken pipeline to build modern war stuff. Lucky for the world china can't stage an invasion without the world noticing and I expect geo politics and moving of military to force a de-escalation or world war 3.

Linux needed something way to create 1 install package and that worked. I don't love flatpak, but it's better than snap.

What is needed is say install a game today, and install a game on new box 10 years later and it still works. (or even just works in first place is rare without dinking around with drivers/mesa/vulkan/etc)

i'd still prefer a .rpm or .dep over flat pack but if this just works, and always just works, perfect.

wait, so there is some soft of buy subscriptions to pocket? is that how it makes money?

how does pocket, one of the most the most hated "features", bring in money?

RH was borderline "douchey" since early 2000's (IPO) and a few years before IBM bought them they took a nose dive down and haven't recovered since.

IBM/Redhat influence began long before the merger.

I got about half way through the summary before realizing that they where not talking about amazon the company...

To be honest I really wanted to read more about organized crime taking on Amazon the company..

I find the reasons most people hate firefox is because it's chasing features already present in chrome. Ditching firefox for that reason is IMO stupid.

I think the only non chasing google feature I see people hating is pocket.

And if you run more than a dozen tabs at a time, Firefox quickly outshines google.

How the.... I didn't even think they had more customers than 2 million let alone employees and family?I work for a large company with ~11,000 employees, pretend each employee represented a family of 4 and claim 100% replacement rate over 10 years that's only 88,000...

yea, if china took Taiwan that entire area would be held or hotly contested where any supply chain depending on Japan/South Korea would be dead.

I would make sure all military chips can be supplied from nato nations, and a certain amount domestically.

I would think most of it would operation, function, and perform fine in 32nm. (IIRC most motherboard chips are 55nm or bigger)

I've been using either a windows on a nuc like box attached to a TV or kodi on a pi for decades. And yea, linux server with storage, smb/nfs and http shares.

People kept asking me about using plex, I never even bothered to look at it, as what I had worked so simply why would I look to complicated it more.

I prefer Zelle over paypal venmo. Starters it doesnt take my creating yet another account, its more of pushing money than money being wired out.

And I know to many people screwed by paypal because someone who bought them might of done a nono in the past(or other nonsense)

Thanks!
not bad, but damn is that thing power power hungry!

But how is it's Windows 7 support? ;)

Kind of in the same boat. Partially because it doesn't quite fully suit my needs fully without a good amount of tinkering. If I have to tinker much, I'm not going to suggest it to epople who consider changing their background programming.

Heck, even games from GOG that support Linux don't always work reliably, or stops working between a ubuntu 20 and 21 release.
