Aren't PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium essentially the same as Game Pass Premium / Ultimate? It seems to be working for Sony. I don't think that's the cause for XBox's problems.

I had XBox Game Pass Ultimate, playing games via cloud streaming. I tried to buy a physical Xbox for Christmas but it was just impossible. Stores simply have zero stock, even Amazon was out of stock, and they all told me it's not because they don't want to sell them but because they are not receiving them. I ended up buying a Playstation 5 and a Playstation Plus subscription.

American Express, at least for business travelers, automatically does the cancel-rebooking for you. Business rates are usually better and offer free cancellation until same day, or day before, of arrival.

Is this improvement due to Rust being so much better than Java, C++ or others?
Or is it due to early adopters of Rust on Android are more senior and savvy developers? What will happen when the juniors come on board?

I call bullshit. Most of the work of a developer is not writing actual code (where AI code assistants help) but thinking about what algorithm to implement to solve this or that problem, looking at corner cases and what solution to give to them (which usually requires intimate collaboration with product managers or support), fixing L3 bugs, etc. AI code assistants are a great tool but they are *junior* *programmers*, not senior developers.

OK, open sourced. Where? I can't find a single link to the repository ¿?

No, the OS is Free95, linked in the post, which is a new reimplementation of Windows, from scratch.

I'm on the same boat: Skype was cheap and convenient to dial international. Also, the live translation has been very useful when calling countries where you cannot expect English to be spoken. I don't know of any alternative to Skype.

Just give it back its original name (from the XVI century): Gulf of New Spain

Why .NET being open source and fairly complete, what's the point of Mono these days? Shouldn't Wine just dump Mono and adopt .NET too?

Stupid tax that will achieve nothing else than making food more expensive for people.

You can also side-load software on Amazon's Fire TV and not just APKs: it's rather easy to install F-Droid or Aurora Store.

Not 9 months, but start date in 3-6 months from accepting an offer is common in Europe.

I don't think Russia, alone, can succeed. There's simply not enough games in Russia for this to make sense from a $$$ point of view.

However, if Russia would partner together with China and India (for technology and marketshare) and a few South American countries (marketshare), they definitely would have high chances of succeeding.
