  • UK government spends millions shifting to the outdated Windows 10

  • Start tracking it. Get counts and show charts on how much is spent on Google and MSFT products. Then show that in relation to other expenditures that actually help.

    Show it internally, then if it doesn't get anywhere, publish that shit. We should honestly make a tool that exposes hidden costs for this edtech garbage that anyone can use.

    Also "donations" was a pejorative for lobbying and corruption. Guess they probably have the system so well captured now that they don't even need to do that anymore though...

  • I love how incompetent the US Navy is now at getting ships built.

  • If you include those haulers that stayed in service for way too long, it was nearing a hundred.

    They were making almost 60 Liberty Ships a month at the peak. Something like 40 days for a whole ship to be built in a single drydock. With 18 shipyards running multiple drydocks each building them.

  • I'm having to deal with this at work. A $100M infrastructure build out that has been designed out and engineered to be built using simple technology, but a new CTO at the company has decided that this specific brand of untested tech is a better deal and in the process has scuttled 2 years of training in design, permit, and construction as well as blown up over half of all existing automated design workflows.

    The kicker is that when I did a test design, the overall linear foot cost increased.

  • There has to be enough people in public ed that we could collectively crowd source a atomic distros for public education.

    There's also literally billions of dollars to be stolen in that sector, so you're up against the big tech companies literally making it illegal for you to use Linux with $5000 donations to local education officials.

  • Anything that uses the evil hexbear is hit or miss depending on which binary it ships with. Epic ships a Linux native version, that developers can allow to tunnel through Proton to the Windows binary, but unlike the Windows binary it doesn't have kernel level access. Meaning it's "less effective" at preventing cheating since it can't snoop your entire system using root access.

    So basically a game developer can flip a switch to allow anything to run on Linux, but they can also unflip that switch and brick Linux installs from playing online.

  • Isn't it Valorant, Rocket League, and Fortnite that are the biggest games that require that specific anti-cheat?

  • AI is just a legal loophole to steal GPL code.

  • No wonder Peter Thiel wants to build a hellworld panopticon prison. He knows.

  • He named everything based on the evil things from LOTR, so you don't even need to guess lol

  • "Mr. Mamdani, is it true you tried to have sex with women under 25 in your 30s?"

  • I'm at the edge of gen-z and I do kinda participate, but only when it's clear there's some sort of power dynamic involved. Like a rich 45+ year old guy going for broke girls right out of college. Even then if the girl made that decision and had control of the situation it's ultimately their decision...

  • Welcome to Target, I love you

  • This is almost certainly because there's a study somewhere that employee eye contact and friendly engagement reduces likelihood of customer shoplifting by 0.5% or something.

    That's basically all this company cares about.

  • Is this all because of that "your brain isn't fully formed till your 25" nonsense?

  • Also they managed to maintain the exact same gait and posture for the whole presentation. Including the exact same small hiccups in hand movement.

  • Plus he's got his own studio now. Could do a Guillermo del Toro style cameo with the Wachowskis.

  • I was in 5th grade when those memes were popular, makes sense if they were 8th graders or something that just never updated their meme language
