“this is exactly why we need chat backdoors.”

yea a lot of them do report linux, if they report an os at all. however, in a survey of “desktop” visitors, one would expect visits determined to not be ‘interactively human’ to be omitted entirely from the counts.

putting osx and macos on separate lines was dumb af. the ‘drop’ of osx over the last ~ 18 months is entirely offset by the debut (and thus, an ‘increase’ from zero) of the name change to macos. it’s a wash there.

linux gains are almost entirely windows’ loss, but whether it’s a legitimate trend or not will take time to determine.

ukraine needs to be free and at peace before the dipshit can get his tiny little shit-stained hands on anything. he won’t even be in office when that does happen, and this ‘deal’ will no-doubt be negotiated at that time.

“don’t be evil” was a false promise. a gimmick. a marketing slogan. in practice, the policy was lost long before even the first pre-ipo options were promised to a new hire… way back around the time larry or sergey first day-dreamed of cashing-in ‘some day’.

remember these?

3 of 35 is not an unreasonable number of students who might have actually done the work themselves.

“loyalty cards” are common. stores (and each of their 369354764 data sharing “partners”) get to track everything you buy and when. in exchange, you get token “discounts” on a small selection of products. some stores have done away with the actual physical cards, and use mobile phone apps or just the mobile phone number to track you.

afaik the only things is the desktop watermark and being locked-out of the personalization in ‘settings’, so stuck with default theme, wallpaper, and so on.

registry edits or using a pre-configured custom installer can get around some (or all?) of these items.

updates will still be offered and installed.

when the $ numbers start getting big and scary, just extend the length some more to make it look ‘cheaper’… like 8 year car loans and 50 year mortgages.

that’s a lot of chocolate.

they should be given sentences

my guess is he’s delivering intel to assist with russian hacking of the midterm elections

not ‘everyone’. i’m sure he’s getting all the assistance a drunk idiot needs to deliver whatever the fuck he’s taking there.

the gnome foundation, however, is a u.s. organization, based in california.

semiconductor fab profits are also ‘abnormally high’.

that whole family is off-the-rails, but with her reach, she could do a lot of good… but instead, this.

vital parts of jitsi are not multi-threaded, so a beefy machine with fast single-thread performance will be needed. but the network and bandwidth requirements will probably be an even bigger obstacle. going off their recommendations, it’d be at least 7.5gbps for 720p to 3000 participants.

It had a tool-less door but a reversed internal layout

same as a few dimensions we still have sitting around here… they’re “BTX”, the failed successor to ATX form factor… it had some neat ideas, but would need a little tweaking if it were to support a ‘modern’ pc platform today.

where i am, this type of work would require planning and submission to the state dept of natural resources (DNR) for approval.

they would not have given it.
