How? They don’t have a powerful secret service

Yeah but I cannot find any HDDs

I think they are talking about the total awareness thingy where they must send the operation plan to the USA and get a digitally signed package to install on the plane. Without that, the plane is a very cool paperweight.

There’s choice also for other system utilities like “sudo” “chown” “ping” etc?

Unfortunately being part of NATO means also having to buy American weapons.

I don’t understand the systemd hate

uhhhh on github :(

Could this be used to stage a coup?

You can easily make these things into much more powerful than what’s on the sticker things.

I remember reading this like 5 years ago? There was another power struggle and Xi won and rooted out all opposition.

I guess these guys changed their minds lately

Yes but you must buy stuff that is compatible with it, or use DNS tricks to make the stuff you have not phone home… It’s doable but definitely not painless. Also you must maintain your lights, on top of everything else…

Yeah in the end it’s big tech that decides what should be developed and what should not. Like for a period of time Microsoft was the biggest contributor to open source, but that’s only because they wanted to make windows VMs work…

Nowadays on Amazon they put a fake high price and they put automatically a coupon that will reveal the real price so that price trackers are tricked into tracking the fake higher price

I buy all my tools from Lidl/parkside. They are cheap and work well enough

Turns out the dude is on the run so for once it’s not entirely Briatore

So now what? We should send death threats to this new guy like his fans do to everyone?

Yeah I mean accusing one of these dudes of covering up some pedo ring Is like saying that water wets stuff…

I mean the dude that got demoted came off as a real jerk, it’s hard to empathize. Also it’s not like dude is dead, he just got fired (and he got paid handsomely for it).

Wait don’t we have GALILEO for GPS in EU?

Yeah that’s the standard operating procedure for all these services: enter the market cheap with awesome features, once you have a foothold increase the prices, then lock existing features behind a more expensive premium tier, increase the prices even more, remove more features, add multiple tiers that all have “holes” in the features somebody could reasonably want so one must buy multiple tiers and/or buy the platinum plan, cut down on costs like “giving the service your users paid for”, add a superior platinum tier, make a creeptocoin
