I wish my country was that smart.

The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.

Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.

If the US had done this after Jan 6, they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble.

Parrot with a dictionary.

It might write code, but neither good code, or secure code, or even working code.

For that, you still need professionals. Even management will learn. If they survive the process.

That would be the same as if the British Parliament held a minute of silence to rever the death of Joseph Göbbels back in '45.

Well, shit happens if you let people develop security protocols without experience. But the car industry saved money by this.

Germany has that at least once a week in a random major city. At the moment they are looking for bombs in Cologne, and potentially expecting to evac 13000 people this week for disarming them. Last >10k evac in Cologne was 6-8 weeks ago.

Unilateral response AKA even more war crimes.

As soon as Windows is installed, Microsoft owns the computer.

Exactly that. Back then with the only usable Nvidia drivers being closed source it was a nightmare. Every bigger update ended in a shell from where I had to reinstall the official driver. I can understand and love open source, but this is sabotaging the own user base.

I abandoned SuSE about a decade ago. There were more than enough reasons to do so. I would not put it anywhere close to “competence”.

If even their own court ruled against it in such a regime, then it must have been really, really bad.

OK, he tries to destroy the scientific elite. That’s something different. I was wondering if the Professor had lost his grasp of reality when I read the headline.

I would not be concerned if it actually was a black hole of disillusionment…

The point is that this is all happening in a cloud. One that is probably located in the US. Not a good thing for a non-US government to send potentially confidential or even secret data to.

Nothing of value was lost.

My Kubuntu RPi 4 does not look that much different.

Soon, a bunch of Chinese dissidents with the same blood type as Putin will be sentenced to death…

They always do.
