calculator 1GB of RAM, 4 CPU cores in full usage.
Text editor 4GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, because your machine doesn't have more cores and you notice it while typing.
Web browser 64GB of RAM, to load all your porn tabs.
Compiler... don't get me started on this one.

Well, NASA apparently hates their astronauts so much they don't want them to return back to Earth alive.

They were probably given WIndows and Outlook because of cost cuts. This still baffles me, because Microsoft isn't exactly known for providing stable software and there's software readily available which is waaaay more stable than Windows and Outlook which also happens to be absolutely FREE and they could easily audit the source code.

So that's why they're basically rewriting it; getting rid of all the binary blobs and obfuscated stuff.

I hoped they asked FSF-Europe as the legal system in the EU is quite different than in the USA.

It's riddled with ways to make it difficult for others to contribute. There's comments in Russian (ok, originally Russian project, so to be expected), obfuscated code (not nice), and binary blobs in there.

OnlyOffice doesn't want people forking their project or even contributing to it. That being said, OnlyOffice is a commercial company, maintaining the project under the same name. They are allowed to do whatever they want to it.

That being said, when a fork happens, it's tough for them. Soon they'll face competition and they can't do anything about it.

Thing with taking humans to Mars is that these humans need to be confined in a small space for quite a while. Messages to Earth take longer and longer, so that takes phoning home on a whim out of the picture. On top of that, vacuum packed food even has a certain amount of time it can be kept. Also, drinking your own pee is not particularly a nice prospect, but a requirement on such missions.

What if there's a mechanical problem somewhere? Sorry, you can't quickly ask for a replacement part from Earth, and you still need to poop and piss. So you need to carry all of those parts along as well. Don't forget about the human body deteriorating in various ways, simply because there's almost no gravity.

No, Mars is totally not feasible at the moment, simply because it'd take too long to get there. Having a moon-base would make it more doable, as it becomes quite a lot easier to build a massive ship to accommodate three couples, so they won't go insane and murder each other, have enough spare parts, and have enough food stuffs to reach Mars and go home again. What you'd need to get there would need to be massive, and something of that size simply can't be launched from Earth, but it can be constructed a lot cheaper in orbit of the Moon.

Isn't that already the case?

When creating art, there should be human involvement to at least some degree. There should be some effort; at least an attempt at some creativity.

If there's no human involvement in the work, then there's no creativity involved. And no, telling an AI to do something for you is not doing something yourself.

After decades of allowing the USA to shaft our IT industry we finally start looking inward at what remains of our tech industry because uncle Sam becomes a greedy, selfish megalomaniac and now google acts all butt-hurt?

There are loads of companies in the EU providing what Google, Microsoft, and Amazon could provide.

But, alas, these companies are based in the USA and so can only be considered untrustworthy (because of the CLOUD act, for example).

SuSE gmbh (German) provides an entire operating system; both for desktop and server, and they are able to provide SLA arrangements.
SoftMaker (German) provides a nice office package.
Proton (Swiss, soon to be German) provides a bunch of security related services, email, word processor, and a spreadsheet.
NextCloud (German) provides a nice cloud platform, including meeting place and office software.
ONLYOffice (Latvia) provides an office suite which has collaboration features.
Linux Mint (Ireland) is an excellent desktop operating system.
OVH (German) provides cloud infrastructure.

There are others, but these are the companies I can think of this quickly.

So, yes, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, worry as your reputation gets destroyed by the simple fact that you're US companies. All we need to happen is that all those EU governments and large companies wake up (and it's starting to happen) and start pouring money in these EU companies.

Let the stream of malware happily continue...

Like all the other things Microsoft recently tried to implement; it'll be implemented badly and will eventually be rolled back because it's broken state.

The copilot button will be named "Microsoft assistant" and everybody will immediately think it's a cool new feature that surpasses the old one... except all they did was change an icon and a string.

Otherwise it might very well replace the Android bootloader with it's own on an update, discover there's not enough room, and brick the phone completely.

When I was young, there were limited bricks, but the sky was the limit in what you could do with them.

These days I see more and more boxes with bricks in them which can only be used in one particular way.

Now this. They're milking a very good product and making it terrible.

LEGO used to be about creativity; about building whatever pops in your mind. Now, more and more sets can only be used to build exactly one thing... maybe two or three.
