I can visualize the person who wrote this and I don’t like what I see.

Yes. It is profitable for big corporations. Is this news to you?

Why would you voluntarily create a job scarcity in your own population? Immigration reduces wages, increases prices, strains public services and causes overall decrease in Quality of Life.

Just look at the state of the USA with 28% immigrant population.

They’d be in jail for committing a hate crime quicker than I could get to the nearest Greggs.

No they wouldn’t. Shouting slurs is shitty but not a punishable offence. Touch grass and hit the gym you fatso.

The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.

Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on your company’s IT dept get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.

Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC until it lasts (~2027 iirc). And pray that Linux gets enough first-party support from hardware vendors till then, otherwise we’re properly fucked.

Lentils and chickpeas have more per-gram protein than chicken and mutton!?

Why do I see thousands of health/bodybuilding influencers saying exactly the opposite and pushing meat consumption instead of legumes on a daily basis then?

culturally they either serve others or expect to be served

As an Indian it’s amazing how you perfectly hit the nail on the head considering how limited your exposure has been. Most Indians themselves never realize this tendency of theirs throughout their lives.

Writers are people, not AI that improves its output quality the more money (hardware) you throw at it. The writers of the Halo TV show should have just been replaced with an entirely new team that actually understood the source.

there were several free antiviruses that were considered good back then

like?

No, it was the only free one. Freeware antiviruses weren’t common back then.

This being “smart” is entirely based on the assumption that the average user who’s actually trying to just get to their home screen won’t be pissed when the bloated chatbot pops up instead. And that assumption is wrong.

They are obsessed with their status but the reality is that the US’s proposed “decoupling” can be healthy for both sides, including China, in the long run.

You have suffocated yourself with the obsession of manufacturing stuff for the world for too long. It is time to move on to the next stage like Western Europe, diversify into services and focus on building high quality of life for everyone.

NYT detected, appeal to attention rejected.

Bluesky and their AT Protocol sound much better.

They follow a federated model quite similar to Mastodon, except with better feeds powered by a variety of user-choosable post ranking and content discovery algorithms. It is the true federated Twitter/X clone.

Nice quote. Won’t win over men who are shifting Right because of consistent targeted alienation in involvement from the Left

It very literally is, in South Korea’s case.

Good idea, hope this does not deteriorate the quality of education. Corruption gets very rampant in public education when there isn’t constant and vigilant oversight.

I don’t want to be rude but you really should not continue teaching (at least in the same way) if you are that repulsed or disconnected from your students.

Students will always have different priorities and mindsets than their teacher would like them to have, and most times they’ll be wrong; it’s a part of life in acads. Most of these youngsters have had very little exposure to the world and it is bound they’ll make mistakes. That’s what school is for. And they will certainly not remain the same, just like anyone from your generation as well, when they get older.

You cannot just get into teaching and not expect delinquency, that’s not how it works. Just focus on getting the subject matter of whatever you’re teaching through their heads and ensure everyone understands the concepts, the “bad” idealogues will eventually get sorted out themselves.
