It's not about whose fault it is, it is about it being a thing. The weather IS to hot for a few of their nuclear power plants since rivers run dry. That will only be getting worse in the next years.

That's great to see! HappyCow is already a decent option, but something vegan oriented is of course better. Do you plan to also release your app on F-Droid or similar open source stores?

Cheers for the work!

I would mind. No single person should have that much wealth.

It is, not from a technical pov but from an investment pov. I very well understand the benefit as a person in IT, but what do you think is more important to investors? Spending (significant) resources on behind-the-scenes improvements that may keep some income flowing vs spending resources on the new AI hype tool to be sold to better paying enterprise customers?

I don't endorse that mode of operation (team 🐧), but that seems to be what's happening.

What financial incentive is there in user retention and code improvements? Windows licences likely don't contribute a large share of MSFTs income (would have to look it up, but am currently sitting in a train with just a smartphone) and even with all the shit since Win11, Windows is still the largest OS by far.

MSFT is earning a lot of money with AI & cloud. Any increase in revenue there likely dwarf possible gains in Windows improvements.

You could try just using the ping or host commands, they will also try to resolve the domain.

Also can you access the services by using IP:Port?

I have several grocery stores of different chains in my vicinity, in a 3km radius I could probably choose between 10+ locations (I just checked after posting: There are at least 18 grocery stores within that range and some options like farmer markets not listed). I only go to the closest ones (~500m) by foot, for most things further away I take my bike.
