So, specifically, from which scientific fields will we lose all of this talent, and to which countries will these people be moving? Further, in what ways will the NSF counterparts in these supposed other countries benefit R&D by foreign researchers?

*Takes quick perusal of the article* Ah, it's DEI bullshit that's being cut here. And, the likelihood of any of this research being funded by another country (other than Canada) is highly dubious. Therefore, the entire premise of this article is laughable. No scientific talent will be "lost to overseas competitors".

Is there anyone who is aware of concepts like Secure Flight and the No-fly List really thinking that prior flight information isn't being kept by DHS and used in evaluating future security stance?

If you fly a one-way, last minute cash ticket to Iran, be prepared for that flight data to be taken into account on future US flights. This should be obvious to everone.

We forced approximately 10 million people into driving Uber for a living...

"I didn't force them."

*Looks around the bar and shouts* "Did any of you force people drive for Uber?"

Surprisingly, one blue-haired man drinking an appletini (at least that's the assumption) raised ziz hand.

"See? Nobody forced anyone to do anything of the sort."

If "Lumen" is the same as "Quantum", then since I was forced to drop my slow-but-rock-solid DSL for the quantum "upgrade" a year ago, it's been neither "stable"
  nor "reliable." (And a double fuck-you for blocking *INCOMING* 25. WTF is that all about?)

And the hits just keep on comin'

We don't want muffins, no toast, buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no teacakes, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns! And definitely no smegging flapjacks!

> Since Ubuntu Server doesn't typically have any Wifi drivers baked in you need to (hope that you can) use your LAN port or otherwise sneakernet the required packages across

Not sure when the last time you tried it was, but I just did a 24.04 server install two weeks ago. I was expecting to have just that problem when I did the initial setup on my workbench (currently lacking a hardwire after an incident with the puppy), but it supported my USB wifi dongle OOTB.

Producing them is neither simple nor clean and especially nothing a land like Germany can do on their own.

Maybe they can import them from Iran.

Has Heroic made it possible to paste a password into the store login yet? Last time I tried it on my Deck, a couple months back, it was a non-starter, since I couldn't be arsed to transcribe the 32-character random string from Bitwarden on the on-screen keyboard.

There was a github issue open for a while, but it seemed to be being ignored.

Maybe it's just Anduin Xue having fun making his own distro.

And, that's why your coworkers love you.

I don't know. You tell me.

As someone who considers Fedora to be my favorite Linux distribution, this is a pretty exciting development.

And, as someone who considers Fedora to be my favorite Linux distribution, I don't give a rat's ass. Microsoft can suck it.

Same. I think gaming is awesome -- a fantastic form of entertainment. But, the last game I played all the way through was Portal 1. I just got busy with other things and lost interest in gaming, only loading up Battlefield 2 or HL2 for brief moments here and there throughout the past years.

But, I always said, if Valve ever makes Half Life 3, THAT will be what gets me back into gaming. We'll see...

Yes and no. Getting forward-depoyed engineers out to somewhere near a combat zone entails risks, but if you've got combat-ready individuals who've also got both the training *and* the authorization to do field repairs it gives a lot more flexibility to the entire system. In addition to that, there's an inescapable morale improvement when orders reflecting some semblence of reality and sanity come down from the top, and saying "yes, you can do what you need to do to get your job done with product XYZ" actually counts for a lot.

And beyond that, remember that the military is not in any way, shape, or form "all grunts." If some of those contractors want to enlist or join direct, there's a market for that too.
