Google already built that 3 years ago.

Why would they stop working on a replacement when they know that their continued access to this market is completely dependent on the whims of a particularly mercurial orange asshat who changes his mind more often than some people change their socks?

This just fills the current short-term need. They will still continue their development of replacements because it's still in their long-term interest to do so.

For a lot of people, it only takes signing one contract with Oracle, which grants them rights to audit you on anything and everything, and make you pay out the ass if they find anything.

That's kind of their business model.

The comment I directly responded to was an AC that responded literally with Don't rule out Jihad.

If that anonymous coward was you, then yes I think you have islamaphobia. If it was not, then I'm not sure what you're objecting to.

Yeah, I'm going to allow myself to get Gish Galloped by someone with a Mike Lindell link in their signature.

You will clearly believe any kind of propaganda drek coming from the ultra right, and you'll just keep whatabouting until the sun extinguishes. I have better shit to do.

The best part is announcing this only a day or two after Grok very publicly went full antisemite cyberHitler.

Well done, DoD.

You would think. Unless you have useless IT monkeys that install a whole bunch of shit that is constantly doing crap in the background and ruining the experience.

I was given a Dell notebook at my job that should run circles around just about everything with the hardware in there, and it boots and runs slower than a 5 year old Dell because of all the Crowdstrike bullshit, other security agents, the workarounds necessary due to non-admin users for software delivery, etc. It's terrible.

If I could wipe the thing and put Linux on it, I would.

Say what you will about Windows (and I've said quite a bit) but it's power management does seem to be better about reaching lower C-states than Linux on the same hardware. I routinely see better battery life on Windows than Linux, but also routinely see more productivity on Linux than dealing with all the Windows bullshit, so it's probably a wash in the end.

Found the guy who thinks the entire country is Shinjuku City.

And a much more stable electricity grid that is actually connected to resources in other states, and not run by idiots.

It's exactly the same as every other subset of humanity you can name. They deserve to exist in peace without being pointed at because of being part of that subset.

Yes, this is how I feel about Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists, or any other religion. And if more people felt that way, the world would be a far better place.

Fuck your stereotypes, and fuck you for trying to paint people with some kind of bigot-brush searching for a gotcha moment.

Version pinning is a feature of every package manager worth using.

Install the version that works for you, and pin it so it never gets updated.

They're just getting the government their centi-billionaire founder helped to establish.

Couldn't happen to nicer folk. You get the government you voted for.

If that's your take, then the next time you file taxes you better not use a tax preparation service or accountant to "help fill out all the paperwork to look as legal as possible."

And heaven forbid you get arrested for something - you better not have a lawyer represent you to help navigate the criminal justice system and make your actions look as legal as possible.

Utterly moronic.

You still don't get it.

Republicans don't need to justify any of their statements with supporting evidence any more. We are supposed to take anything said by a Republican as God's own gospel, unquestioningly, and asking for any kind of supporting evidence just means you have "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

On the other hand, no amount of supporting evidence will ever be enough to justify the opinions or policy stances of "liberals" where "liberal" is defined as "not-MAGA." It will be a never-ending Gish Gallop of nonsense and sea-lioning until the point of giving up, at which point a variation of "See! They couldn't prove it to MY satisfaction, therefore it's fake!" will be deployed.

It's a cult, not a political party. Politics can be discussed and compromise can be found. There is no compromise with a cult.
