I'm holding out hope that discounts wont work this time, because the motivation is different. It used to be about cost, now it's about digital sovereignty. I won't bet anything of value, but I can hope.

Interesting. I knew the stuff about Munich, and I knew Gates was still a shareholder, but didn't know he was still so actively involved. Based on that last link, it sounds more like he'll be telling Nadella to get on a plane and what to say on arrival rather than get on it himself though.

Nadella you mean? It's been a while since Gates was CEO of Microsoft.

The "do more with less" philosophy doesn't make sense here either. Why not "do loads more with same"?

Imagine the current workforce, with all the experience and domain knowledge, paired with AI instead of replaced by it. Humans can do such awesome things when we work together.

These billionaires can be so short-sighted sometimes. All profit and no vision.

Yes, the difference in temperature is interesting, I don't want to seem dismissive of that. Just the choice of wording was also interesting.

Lisbon is in Portugal btw. (But that doesn't change the distances.)

It's still an odd way to compare temperatures:

  • Double of 1 degree is 2 degrees, so not very different.
  • Double of 30 degrees is 60 degrees, so wildly different.
  • Double of -20 degrees is -40 degrees, so a lot colder instead of warmer.

They also developed their own Rust UI library and open-sourced it.

I also suspect that Doritos dipping cheese is closer to a fossil fuel than a dairy product. I still eat it though.

Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn't have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.

I love Bazzite. It's a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.

Hangovers never seem to last beyond a sip of coffee, or hearing important news.

Does anyone have experience of Ceratech's trackballs? There doesn't seem to be a lot of info or reviews about them. I wonder how they compare to the Logitech & Elecom offerings.
