This isn't even the worst thing LinkedIn has gotten caught doing. It's always been an entirely criminal enterprise masquerading as a normal jobs board.

Being an outlaw didn't work both ways - it's the law withdrawing its protection from you, not its wrath.

Too bad for you luzers.

Because Peter Thiel is a known cow-fucker.

Sure, why not just pass all your sensitive personal and corporate data through a "thinking machine," "for entertainment purposes only." Sounds like a great plan that smart people would do. /sarcasm

You have a choice - unfettered anonymity with free speech or proven identity with responsibility. We always try (to varying degrees) to have it both ways, but it is not possible. They are mutually exclusive.

If you don't have proof of identity, you get disinformation, propaganda, and fraud. If you do, you have the government and businesses putting you under a microscope.

There is no solution to this issue.

The OS is bloated with things you will likely never use, and the apps are ever-more frequently bloated themselves, running in inefficient Edge Webview processes.

If you want to have more than a couple of things running in Windows 11 and want to be sure it'll run smoothly, you're wise to target 32 GB now with a 512 GB SSD. If you know what you're doing and are willing to spend a lot of time ripping out the unnecessary parts you can get it to run with 4 GB of RAM, but even at today's elevated memory pricing it's not worth the effort.

If it can not do the exact same equally good for closed software projects IT IS NOT CLEAN ROOM.

Please shut up you fucktard.

I'd be terrified from the moment I was selected all the way until I was back on Earth, but I think I'd have trouble refusing the opportunity to be the on-site tech for a mission like this.

Give me a handful of space-rated USB flash drives with my favorite reference materials and utilities, a diaper and a barf bag, and I'm there. Maybe a large bottle of gravol and some stimulants to counteract the drowsiness. ...And I would never talk about the diaper or barf bag.

Classic has the same bugs it always did, New is OWA in a browser app window and is missing features a lot of people care about.

Either one can have a wide selection of connection and authentication issues that are more or less unforgiveable but nobody seems to care because MS is really the only one who has the entire kitchen sink in their product reasonably well integrated.

It's also the last thing I'd have sent on this mission. I guess with modern communications it's nice to have an email client on your spacecraft, but with the lag you're not using Teams and you're not going to be attending any meetings. Do you really need all the extra crap?

I'd rather have them running older, more robust hardware with more efficient and more stable code on them than anything Microsoft provides.

It's probably also relevant that they couldn't just call it "Northstar" because that was already taken by a competitor's product.

A dummy load and some chemistry to use oxygen would do the same job with zero human risk.

If they're not putting boots on the Moon, they shouldn't have their asses in the rocket.

I have to say I'm enjoying it for home use.

I added Talk, and now I don't need Microsoft or Zoom to make a video call. It's adding calendar support to MailInABox. I use the SMB connection ability to backdoor my way into my NGINX-hosted web pages for ease of editing.

More "information wants to be free".

Once code is published, anybody can learn from it and be inspired to create their own version of it. Trying to police that is impossible.
