What ethical standards? Google removed those from their code of conduct years ago.

Being baited into spending time replying to social media posts questioning the value of your time… you sure showed them, buddy.

Wow

Yes.

Used used, or just used? File caches and memory-mapped files are technically “used” but are basically free since they can be evicted if that memory is needed elsewhere.

The nix-env tool is part of Nix (the package manager; not NixOS, which is an OS based around Nix). You need to install Nix to use the tool.

Broken in the upstream kernel, yes. The Valve-built kernel for SteamOS has a bunch of downstream patches.

For a worse product than you can get for free.

Outside of tech circles, the majority of people with PCs are not even aware that they are paying for Windows. Pre-built desktops have the cost of the license factored into the sale price. The average consumer just thinks they are buying “a computer” as though it is a single, cohesive unit.

If the rest of staff doesn’t get overtime pay, crunch is also a way to keep costs down.

Why would they buy property they aren’t going to use? If their rockets did break people’s windows, it would be cheaper for them to settle a lawsuit for the repair costs.

I wonder what the value of an ad nauseum user is…

SB26-090 was introduced during a Colorado Senate hearing on April 2 and was supported by lobbying efforts from companies such as Cisco and IBM.

That checks out.

And even with the overhead of translating DirectX and Windows API calls.

It works about the same as any other non-NixOS system running a user install of Nix.

nix-env -i neovim

You could also choose to enable and use more advanced features like flakes, but I would suggest not doing that unless you want to dive into the Nix ecosystem.

There is ReactOS, which is an ABI-compatible kernel and operating system. That is as close as we are going to get unless pigs start flying.

Whoever thought of the meme probably doesn’t work in tech. A brand-new AI datacenter is not going to be left unguarded. Doubly so if there’s government data being stored or processed within it.

Good point. I’m not keen on personally comitting fraud, but with the inevitable data breaches in mind, identity verification would do absolutely nothing to deter malicious actors.

Not if they use cryptographic signing.

Browser sends website the signed identity verification, then the website checks the signature against some key in a list of trusted identity verifiers. With the verification responsibility being pushed to the OS vendors, that will be a short list of tech megacorporations. And maybe Canonical or Red Hat, if we’re lucky.

They can’t make it illegal, but with a little frog-boiling, they can make it functionally useless for visiting websites you might need to use. No identity verification = no access, and Linux = no identity verification.

Almost perfect. You forgot to replace “community chest” with “shareholder portfolios”
