Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.

If you comment, yes. A bunch of copied headlines with no comments? No.

Shouldn’t it be called Microsoft 250? There are 250 working days in a year. As soon as I’m home I’m using Thunderbird or Libreoffice, certainly not the product formerly known as Microsoft Office.

It’s already happening, in part because of this and in part because of the unstable, unpredictable US government.

Several European countries are looking towards investing in open source as a way to get away from American big tech because they’re suddenly considering US sanctions against them a real possibility, or at least a real threat.

Kind of. It’s certainly difficult to deal with this.

I skipped a game or two of League of Legends last night because I didn’t want to reboot into Windows. Played some Rocket League instead.

Best language, suitable for all but the most low level stuff where you don’t want a garbage collector. For that use Rust.

C#, Rust, and maybe just a minimum amount of JavaScript, and I didn’t think you need anything else.

The worst part of C# is that sometimes Java devs sneak in, but that happens in every language.

You can just have things be out of scope. It’s really okay!

Thanks for the work you’ve put into this.

lol, it didn’t fit the mod’s narrative.

Good idea with the spread these days.

Well, not you.

Don’t get complacent. The EU countries are toying with the idea of collapsing with us. AfD doesn’t seem to be shrinking, and there will be a lot of money and propaganda dumped that way soon.

I hope you’re better at resisting it than we were, but seeing as how we’re all still on vulnerable social media…

The latest Libreoffice update has ribbon menus (optionally).

It works well when you use it for small (or repetitive) and explicit tasks. That you can easily check.

Which is probably a good thing. I appreciate projects like Thunderbird as well.

You can not push the button that says AI.

You can also hit the kill switch that completely removes that button.

That’s opt-in enough.

If it starts reading pages or doing things without you pushing a button, that’s an issue.

I had the choice when buying a new PC to go with single threaded 64-bit or multiple cores. Particularly for gaming, I figured a single core was all I really needed, and 64-bit was the future.

The correct choice at the time was multiple cores. Everything going to 64-bit wasn’t going to happen until that computer was long dead.

Yeah, nuance exists. Weird, I know.
