The nationality is an important factor here.

Employing Chinese nationals in any IT admin roles is a security risk, because of the pressure CCP can exert on them to cooperate with whatever requests they have.This applies even if they live abroad for a long time, as long as they have close relatives in China.

Linux is on the rise.

I don't watch trends compiled by web trackers, but gaming on Linux lately provides ample evidence that there is profound change of people's image of Linux.

It went from posts poking fun at at for being too hard, and many games not working, to masses of 'I've made a switch!" posts on Reddit's linux_gaming et all.

Having returned to PC gaming [on Linux] myself, after a long stint on various versions of PlayStation, things work shockingly well. I've been using Linux for SW development for a long time, and contrasting it to Windows at work, you have to be a masochist to prefer Windows, certainly for ML and HPC.

They still only support very old version of OpenMP.
For HPC use, VS (or Windows for that matter) is a major nuisance.

Fortunately, we're finally moving to Linux on the server at my work. Good riddance!

Stop it. There is no excuse for requiring such thing to play a game.

Secure Boot is a questionable solution for a bad OS security, but for playing a game itâ(TM)s just ridiculous.

When this is done to a commercial company, people can have a justified grudge, but why to pick on a community project, especially one thatâ(TM)s as great as Arch Linux?

What a bunch of a-holes.

Any forum thread I came across in searches contained only follow up questions and tips for solving the issue, if it wasnâ(TM)t covered in the Wiki already, which is excellent.

How about an example of alleged arseholedness?

Higher ups donâ(TM)t code. All other non-coders reading about what wonderul things AI can do donâ(TM)t code.
It surprises a lot of people.

Right now.

Why paying MS for Windows and M365, and deal with their spying - pardon me - telemetry?

Skimming the story quickly, I was first shocked at the percentage Windows 95 still has, before realizing that overall Windows share just happens to be 95 something percent ;)

Lately we're getting lots of headlines about how beautifully AI works, how it already produces XX% of code in some company, and how it already replaces codes.

Now we're hearing that CS and AI should be graduation requirements.

Which one is it then?

Since 2011 I was buying Thinkpads, because they worked great with Linux, and could be got either without OS (for pedants: with FreeDOS) or with Linux.

You do?

Maybe you read on what happens to Palestinians who oppose Hamas first, before posting uninformed statements.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation. It doesnâ(TM)t only terrorise Israelis. Hamas is not Palestine.

And f**k your self you human t**d.

It used to be that what your companies did defined you. Now your support of MAGA trash republicans does.

Your businesses donâ(TM)t matter anymore, when youâ(TM)re seemingly on the mission to destroy all democracies.
