But also in Asian markets the J part was not easy, so needed to rebranded.

Of course what they renamed it to was the short way of saying Syphillis in the UK. It definitely wasn’t a win win.

Yet…

Well Debian doesn’t have a rolling distro, does it?

It was something that underpinned your choice and now it’s not. I’m not sure why you said gotta find when you already knew the answer.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Reliable and up to date.

I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.

Nonsense. Slack was far superior, though not touched it since it was bought out.

Do you really think it had that much attention?

1 PO, 1 BA and a part time dev split across teams. They’re also the QA.

The measley non Google portion of revenue is 81m dollar. If you pay a top dev 200k, you could pay 100 top devs 20m and still have 60m to play with.

This is even before considering a Bing/Yahoo/Ecosia deal.

Mozilla will be fine, but they’ll likely need to be leaner. Lay offs will likely play a part in that. Just got to hope they size and structure it right.

I’m in the UK also. I care about this though.

How can you infringe on a patent that doesn’t exist when you’re writing the code?hopefully Palworld can afford the lawyers to kill this off now.

And you think US government and 5 eyes countries won’t have access? What happens when that elaborate detailed profile data of yours gets hacked?

You are free to choose at any point where you draw the line.

Chromium fork. Chromium code, Google defining compatibility standards. Firefox (or it’s forks) is the only real alternative.

I just don’t see a good reason to use Manjaro and many reasons not to.

It’s a shame they didn’t consider moving the LF foundation to Europe or something. If the choice is kick out contributors to support sanctions or operate without political pressure, the second is far better.

I cannot stand Putin or Russia’s action, but punishing individual contributors just trying to write code and build Linux isn’t helpful.

Unless evidence is found of malicious commits, it is pretty harsh on those caught up with this.

Let’s remember that many Russians will probably be locked up and/or killed for coming out against Putin. Punishing them achieves nothing.

A business easily offers a 40% discount. You didn’t critically assess that, ask how, and give off vibes it was a charitable and Intel was ungrateful. TMSC while an interesting business is still a big corp with profitability at heart.

Even if Intel aren’t the good guys, you cannot assume TMSC is. I like AMD, but I’m under no illusion they could throw consumers under the bus tomorrow for self interest. Right now, it’s king for Linux hardware though.

They have a big market share and can improve margins with big state subsidies and firing people. Bug corps always fine. Workers are the ones that suffer.

Don’t crack out the violins for Intel just yet. The reporting is hyperbole, and if you can’t digest the facts through the sensationalism. A media break might be a good plan.

The key word is temporarily. How long ago was this?

Calling people dumb then throwing a weak argument doesn’t make it stronger.

They’re on wafer thin margins with vendor lock in. The strategy was not successful.

If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit, your prices are probably 3 times the cost.

If you cannot go to another supplier, you have vendor lock in.

I’m an AMD guy, so I got no skin in the game defending Intel, but if you’re shilling this much for TSMC, you aren’t really bringing an unbiased opinion.

Who possibly saw that if you kill your manufacturing and buy from a company with monopoly power, they could write there own profits.

Sometimes big companies are really dumb.

Actually not, with the job cuts the other day, share price rose.
