Microsoft has gone too far:

Just now, with this?

Seriously though - I am doubtful we could meet these requirements to add an amendment stating the sky is observably blue in the current state of things in the US. It’s hard for me to imagine we’ll ever pass an amendment for any purpose ever again unless things change quite a lot.

A proposed amendment must pass a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress, or if two-thirds of the states petition Congress, a new constitutional convention can be called to consider amendments. In any event, three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify the amendment for it to become a permanent part of the Constitution.

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

This one never really gets old anymore.

Ah, fair!

When the rest of us get taxed it’s just how society works. When billionaires get taxed, now it’s a “scheme.”

Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain’t it?

I think at this point it’s clear they have a core base of users who (for one reason or another) aren’t going anywhere no matter how much abuse they pile on top. It’s MS’s version of that 38% or whatever of people who are clearly going to vote Trump even if he reveals himself to be the literal devil.

Fucking up their product? Why yes, each and every year they give me a new object lesson in how grateful I am to have ejected them from my life (except when paid to use Windows) in 2007. But will the company come to harm from it? I don’t think so.

The only sensible solution then is to ban toddlers from EVs. They’ll just have to walk.

Better give 'em guns too. With all that walking maybe they can stop a school shooting or two.

Not sure, but 20 month old toddler…

OK, correction accepted. I probably did conflate them with Broadcom. Someone should let those ubuntu folks know though… ;)

I swear in SMS on the daily, and have shared videos of pro-Palestine protests via sms also. I’m a bit dubious. I did read the article, and it sounds like one carrier-specific issue, and (unsurprisingly) MS allowing enterprise customers to control what is said on Teams.

So two examples that are each either platform or carrier specific.

I’m sorry for leaving out the word “desktop”. I’m well aware that Android runs the Linux kernel and that many embedded systems run Linux.

Possibly I conflated them with Broadcom, but I feel sure I recall Qualcomm’s lack of openness being problematic in the past also.

Edit - yeah, folks jumping through hoops for their wifi at least as recently as Ubuntu 20.04. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1277359/my-qualcomm-atheros-qca9377-wireless-adopter-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts

When did Qualcomm start giving a shit about Linux? They’ve been on my “hardware and chipsets to avoid if possible” list for pretty much ever.

2007 was YOTLD for me. Yours, dear Windows-using reader, is 2024, if you want it to be.

My god American regulation is so idiotic sometimes!!!

Dude, some person made that meme, and that person chose to use asterisks. It’s no more complicated than that.

What’s it say? Go find yourself? Go Fill yourself? IDK is this some game you Americans have where you have to guess the word

Apparently our ability to figure out a word from context is pretty much higher than yours though.

I think this should be posted as a comment to every article about this.

Fair! :) Maybe some ARE regarding it as nothing, in which case I agree with your view.

No one is regarding it as nothing. We’re regarding it as a very high cost form of protest which doesn’t seem to be more effective than non-suicidal methods.

I don’t know how you see it as anything other than sadly acknowledging a thrown away life. Do you think there is a magic number of self-immolations that will change US or Israeli policy? If one wasn’t enough a thousand won’t be.
