> Go, fuck, and yourself. Cunt.

I am truly curious. What part of the parent post offended you?

I was abducted and probed by aliens. I tried telling this to govt. people. They did not take my claims seriously and think that I am some kind of kook.

Do you need further proof that our govt. is in on the grand conspiracy and is full of corrupt bureaucrats?

If you got $138B or so in Bitcoin that you did not really earn, are you really that worried about paying taxes?

> Were you AROUND in the late 1990s? The President got impeached after years of the cable news networks talking about LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE.

I remember those years. A scandal could last years. Now I wake up to a new scandal every other day. Public is so swamped with these political scandals that they do not know what to focus on. Every new scandal dilutes the previous one and starves it of attention. And some people give up trying to keep track. They are exhausted. And many others land in the disbelief zone.

The self dealing is so much that the sitting president putting his image on coins and signature on currency barely makes the news. If Obama had done any of these things, the mad screeching of conservatives would be out of control. He faced their wrath when he wore a tan suit.

Providing services to citizens is currently not a priority.

> I'm just wondering if we're there yet.

We've made it to the crying part.

> It is however entirely sensible...

This is a very slippery slope.

> The ability for unelected bureaucrats to create and enforce law is unconstitutional. We elect legislators for that purpose..

Are you sure that the legislators are supposed to enforce the law? And also are you conflating creating the law with interpreting the law?

> perfectly happy to lie, cheat, steal, and fuck over your country to make money, obtain, and hold power.

In all seriousness, are you sure you are not talking about the current US govt?

Back in the day we used Jira a lot. But also had GitHub accounts. The integration of the two wasn't great so we switched to GitHub issues and kicked Jira to the curb. This saved money and also a lot of hassle in trying to keep the two in sync. I am wondering if many others went a similar route.

We did use Confluence and I do miss it. I would love to find an opensource replacement for it that stores files in markdown format. Like Obsidian, but for teams.

> There has been a push for EU 'tech sovereignty' on various fronts, and I could see SUSE benefiting from that.

The urgency is mostly in moving away from American tech. Because we are currently being lead by a team of lunatics and can no longer be relied upon to do the right thing. However, Ubuntu Linux, owner of the current leading Linux distro is not American. It is based in the UK.

Trump has shit for brain. And sometimes it appears that most of the people that support him suffer from the same problem. That is why some of them post as anonymous here.

> Could always run for president of the USA

Only if we could all use the "I am innocent. I was treated unfairly by the courts and fake news media" excuse. Who knew that boldface lies like that can unlock doors to untold riches.

> he was not obtaining a PhD but was operating 'Splat Action Sports,' a paintball equipment business in a Florida strip mall."

Florida man strikes again.

> If a human being had done this...

An AI tool is not human. A car is not human. Could you control a car to kill you and other humans? Yes. Same for many tools in the kitchen.

In all reported cases of AI misbehaving in a way described in this post, it is shown again and again that it was driven there by a very determined human who wanted a certain outcome.
