It’s been commonly used as a pejorative in French for a decade or so.
Yeah they delayed the 10.9 release to work on their CI pipeline, and it seems to be paying off beautifully.
And how many devops have been driven to madness trying to configure what should be a simple task.
If they use semantic versioning, incrementing the last number means it’s only a bugfix release, so the API shouldn’t change. But as they say in their funding post, 10.10.0 will include API changes.
Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?
As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.
In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once. Media are stored on 5400-RPM HDDs.
Yeah that’s all we talked about over at Slashdot at the time. Nobody else gave a fuck.
what force might have coerced Microsoft to behave more reasonably, in that situation?
Strong antitrust and anti-corruption laws. Their actions were not “unreasonable”, they were straight up illegal.
Edit: also you should read up on the whole thing. They didn’t break compatibility with their own office suite of course. What they did is lie to (and almost definitely pay off) the standardization body: “here is the spec for OpenXML, you see we’re open it’s right here in the name, anyone can implement it and be interoperable with us”. So OpenXML was standardized along with OpenOffice’s OOXML (at the start of the process, only OOXML was considered for standardization).
Once the deed was done, they of course didn’t implement OOXML in MS Office (as is their right), but they also didn’t implement their own OpenXML spec properly, which means OpenOffice still had to reverse-engineer an intentionally obfuscated and broken format to try and read/write documents compatible with MSO.
So the whole thing has been absolutely useless, except for a couple of “experts” from the panel who came out of it a bit richer.
Nope, the correct solution would have been for MS to compete fairly with OSS, instead of, for example, buying the standardization of its Office suite formats, and then never implementing those formats to prevent OpenOffice from being 100% interoperable.
Nah, a boomer would tell the kid everything’s actually fine while spraying shit all over him.
You do know you can use words in addition to emojis right? I have no idea what you’re quoting and what you’re trying to say.
OK but that description seems totally harmless if you don’t follow US politics. And even then, I knew about the blue line for cops but had no idea about the red one. Are we protesting nurses now? Is it a COVID thing?
As a Frenchman who spends way too much time reading shit about US politics, I didn’t know about the thin red line. Pretty sure the WP editor didn’t either, or didn’t care (as he should).
I hope this is a troll post, otherwise maybe don’t give fascists the exclusivity on a red line on a white background?
The Big Lebowski is the pinnacle of humour! Now get off my lawn!
Yep that’s the idea.
It’s a scene from The Big Lebowski, right after The Dude got tortured with a marmot by German nihilists. Walter focuses on the legality of keeping a marmot as a pet, which is obviously not the main issue.
I don’t think the goal is to lock you into their browser, since you still can change it through the GUI. It seems to be part of the recent push to block software which changes hidden settings. The end goal being to lock down the OS and prevent users from disabling features MS wants to push onto them.
Their own solution is actually better than a VPN for this use case. It’s an encrypted proxy which anyone can download and run, so it’s much harder to block.
