From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn’t been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn’t appear to be particularly active on that product.

should be poofed out of existence

This means something very specific in the UK.

I’m always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about…20-25 years so far I guess :-p

I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

this looks fairly generic to me. Alien killing humans in space. I don’t see what’s new? Admittedly watched it on phone on a bus.

shakes head in Brexit

It’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/

What’s the advantage of this vs running it in a container? https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

This is kinda how I feel about Windows these days. It’s interface, directory structure, shudder the registry, user specific apps (from MS Store or Winget), buttons being inserted into the menu bars on some apps, but not others, button sizes being different sizes, some parts still using the Metro interface. The whole thing either needs a re-write, or should be dropped and something new to replace it. Don’t even get me started on things like the eventvwr hanging for 20 seconds after it opens, event tracer API, their in-house abandonment of powershell modules once powershell was open sourced, Windows containers being a disaster, etc.

raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn’t an OS. It’s a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.

Do I just need to start cold calling companies that based on their name “might” have this software as well, and explain my case?

So, as someone who works for an MSP that specializes in a certain vendors products, it’s maybe worth checking out the websites of who may be your competitors. They love to put their clients names on their websites. This should help you at least start building a list of companies to target (LinkedIn is heavily used by sales peoples these days).

Chinese I think?

• Left - Zuǒbiān
• Right - zhèngquè de

Not sure if that counts, considering it’s using the Latin alphabet and the language is tonal, etc.

EDIT: and Ilocano:

• Left - kannigid
• Right - kusto

EDIT2: and Indonesian:

• Left - kiri
• Right - Kanan

EDIT3: and Irish:

• Left - chlé
• Right - ceart

Going to stop now. I’m literally just choosing languages in google translate.

Think Android uses Bionic instead of glibc (where the vulnerability is being exploited).

I’m not in a position to check at the moment, but I think I used to have to set the CPU to something older (like, very old Core2Duo).

This guy comes across as a bit of a nut. I don’t doubt the situations he lists, but saying things like “the whole of Azure was hacked” when it specifically was that an engineer’s auth cert was captured with malware to access M365 emails just screams panic merchant. Reading the posts they’re all #Cloud #Armageddon #2023 #hashtag

Is it? Considering Webster ripped through a tonne of spellings it’s not really conservative in that regard. Maybe in pronunciation?

What a terrible article. Just pumps Huawei without any stats.
