Leclerc tanks? I didn’t know Ferrari were that serious about the Constructors Championship…

It’s been in all of your comments where you brought it up. You know you said it.

Yeah but… how?

I know you don’t like the author (and I don’t either, she’s a twat), but it’s pretty undeniable that literally tens or hundreds of millions of people enjoy Harry Potter.

The amount of people claiming it went up massively thanks to the news surrounding WFA.

Actually, 100% of what I said is true. Let’s go through it together

Microsoft does not own systemd

True.

The closest thing to an “owner” the project has would be Red Hat (not owned by MS), but it’s had over 2000 authors in its time.

And even if they did, and put copilot into it, distros could still choose to not use it

True.

This in fact happens already. Lots of distros that use systemd only use some components of it. It’s GPL code, you can do that…

Now let’s move on to Lennart Poettering.

Yeah, he was one of the top people behind systemd, and he has now moved to a job within Microsoft. What’s your point? That doesn’t mean systemd is Microsoft property now. That’s not how it works lol. PulseAudio isn’t either.

Tbh, I don’t really see how? What about NATO prevents it?

And what about the countries of Europe that are in NATO (or have expressed a desire to join) but not the EU?

Unfortunately I fear they could force councils to sell for less than market value again, then sit back and relax as the media fellate them for being so kind to the poorer people in society (whilst completely ignoring the wider societal problems that causes)

Based.

People won’t like it, but this is absolutely the right decision for the country.

Either don’t sell them, or sell them for full market value and put any profit into a fund to build more council houses.

Fucking finally. My 7 will be thankful. Xperias have had this for years.

I don’t know how I feel about this.

Which is worse, the government telling people that they can’t wear certain clothes (and let’s be real, at least some of the proponents of implementing this are doing it in an Islamophobic way), or allowing a practice that’s clearly intended to cover women up and treat them as second class citizens within their Islamic culture?

Which is right? Which is wrong? I feel so conflicted about this.

I don’t want the state dictating dress code, that’s absolutely ludicrous, but I also don’t want an oppressive sexist religion dictating that women need to cover up otherwise (ghasp!) a man might see their skin.

That’s a different matter though. The above comment was about co-opting NATO if the US lost interest in it.

That doesn’t go against the EU working towards forming a joint military.

Seems a lot more similar to Gnome and KDE than Apple tbh.

They have a history of copying stuff (including branding) from Linux projects.

In addition to ME and NT, they also had CE.

CEMENT.

For real.

I dislike Copilot with a burning passion, but I can’t deny it’s an amazing name. Because that’s what AI in an OS should be.

A copilot. One that will take over and help me do things, especially tedious things like offline translation, better screen reader functionality for the blind, better speech recognition and synthesis, etc.

Of course that’s not what MS is doing, they’re doing it to shove gimmicks down our throat and to scoop up data en masse.

Windows Intelligence is just… Ugh. Do they not get that Apple Intelligence, while still being a bit of a rubbish name, at least works because it still can be shortened to AI?

Microsoft does not own systemd

And even if they did, and put copilot into it, distros could still choose to not use it

I wish people would stop complaining about the WFA cuts. Those that need them still get them, and triple lock pensions are going up by an estimated £460.

Even if they lose out on their £150, they’re still going to make a gain on £310.

I told you when you did.

Dollars.

Google is giving hundreds of millions because they fear regulators getting involved.

A handful of people who follow Mozilla on Mastodon saying they’re willing to pay up to a meagre $5 per year won’t do anything.

The past is the past. Kier doesn’t have a time machine, nor was anything the UK did under the previous Trump government his fault.

It’s 4 years from now.
