It is like a speed run of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. No one wanted to buy Russian weapons after that. The USA is in the same position now.

I am disappointed. A few servers have been moved via train and stayed online. Codeberg should do better.

Google, the company confirmed the issue stemmed from a “fake edit” in Google Maps that was “briefly” incorporated into its call-screening feature.

I would not have expected that Google Maps fed into the Caller ID on Android phones.

Roy secured his spot in the general election by creating his own third party, the Freedom and Unity party.

It often takes more work, but of a different kind, to establish a third party, than to win the nomination (I know nothing of Vermont’s rules). Good work!

There are more options than the two you mentioned. Listing a few as more people should remember them. I did get a bit off topic…

1. Use huge company to provide service.
2. Provide service oneself (, likely with Open Source. )
3. Use small or medium company to provide service (, likely with Open Source. )
4. Use huge company for things huge company is great with, but keep “crown jewels” of company on internal self provided systems.
5. Use a small or medium company to provide a service, and another series of small or medium companies to check on the first company.
6. Use a huge company based in a country that is very serious about laws and putting CEOs in prison for wrongful acts.
7. Do not do the thing. (Included for completeness.)
8. Do the thing not on a computer. (Violation of privacy could result in violation of more serious laws.)
9. Use an older technology on a computer.
10. Use the huge company to provide service, but ensure the data includes insane things.

business with a contract

I always wonder at this and have cautioned my managers repeatedly. Yes, we have a contract, but they have a literal army of lawyers and we have less (one lawyer one retainer for hourly work or a small grouping focused on taxes and employment law). As if our ownership won’t bend over backwards to avoid suing a large company like Google, AWS, Microsoft, or Oracle. (Maybe OpenAI and Anthropic are sue-able by a $100 million corp?)

As proof I offer the lawsuits between businesses that have proceeded far enough the general public has heard about them. Not a specific one, just all of them.

I do wonder what happens with system accounts and servers. But I know it will be a patchwork of laws so the answer will change depending on the patch of ground it is on, and solutions and none of it will work correctly.

The best part of Ubuntu was improving Debian. In the beginning, Debian was a bit ugly and difficult. Ubuntu was competition, and perhaps resources (IDK) directly or indirectly. Debian is much easier to use than it was when Ubuntu was new.

Ubuntu is taking the RedHat approach (over complicating so that one must buy the support).

A paid influencer radicalizing our youth and leading people astray.

1980’s? Yes.

2000’s? No. Full of politics. Government waste, spies, Area 51 coverups, discussions of the deep state and military use in civilian areas. One of the movies referenced wars in the middle east.

Edit: I should explain first that I do not think you can change your employees or manager. A technical solution will never fix a management problem. Perhaps your manager is getting enough heat to be open to better management controls. You should be in “sanity protecting” mode.

Original: While the posts include a lot of fiction, but “overemployed” crowd have some good advice. Start applying elsewhere, downshift your effort at $job_one, and move to collecting a check.

Or ramp up and take your manager’s job or get fired trying. Gather data and allies in the C-suit, and stage a coup. Or unionize (or post pro-union flies in the bathroom).

I agree with you regarding availability, and I find your comment interesting. I often find phone models of interest that are only available in Europe or the East. Phone selection in the USA is often terrible.

Let’s get some helpful headlines on this.

“Congressmanwoman|person $name_of_person_that_voted_against helped defeat bill to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports, who have they been harassing”

“Who Congressmanwoman|person $name_of_person_that_voted_against been harassing?”

Lindsey Graham, Went from hating Trump to loving Trump in one afternoon.

Epstein customer, or just deeply in the closet?

Gonna find the pedophiles, Nazis, and who killed Epstein?

They never care. They have been deporting citizens.

The scroll at the top of the page sometimes changes, and “hold shift to draw” is one of them. Shift-C to clear.

Weekend commits are actually less likely to introduce vulnerabilities, but they take 45% longer to fix.

I can only think of contributors being nice and relaxed, doing their most brilliant work. Work that is a bit too brilliant for the same contributor to fix any bugs found during any other conditions.

insert that one quote about being too smart for one’s own good

Edit: Weekend commits are 8% less likely to have bugs, but those bugs take 45% longer to fix! This site is gold.

Edit 2: that may not mean what it looks like at first blush.

I want to push back on this part:

Only if Microsoft acquires a major CPU chipmaker.

In the USA, and other parts of the world, a small number of Billionaires are buying up everything. A small number of wealthy people could each own a part of the supply chain and for it on the vast majority.

For extra enforcement, add in a legal or cultural push for reporting or shunning violators through the media companies owned by that same group.

Just adding links for the lazy…
