Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like and – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/

Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.

@nixCraft There are now many AI options that work locally. And they are becoming more and more skilled. The playing field is expanding. But GIGO is always valid. 😉

To your eye, Betelgeuse is the bright "shoulder" star in Orion. A new simulation shows what it would look like if you could get up close: an enormous, boiling cauldron of gas.

If Betelgeuse were placed where the Sun is, Earth's orbit (blue circle) would be deep inside. That's how big it is!

A user, a user, and a user walk into a bar.

The Linux user sits down and confidently orders a drink, knowing they can customize it to their exact liking.

The Windows user takes a seat and asks, "What does everyone usually get?" They end up with a familiar drink that mostly gets the job done.

The macOS user glances at the sleek decor and says, "Wow, this place is expensive, but the drinks must be fantastic!" They order a beautifully presented yet pricey cocktail.

This year, democracy is on the ballot. Over 60 countries — home to half the globe’s population — will hold national elections in 2024.

To ensure that everyone has access to accurate information before they cast their vote, we’ll offer free servers in countries with a history of or political interference in the weeks leading up to the elections:

The servers will be switched from paid to free for the period of the election.

The executives are obsessed with selling our data to the AI giants. It doesn't matter if you have a free or paid subscription – Adobe, Microsoft, & countless others will gladly betray you. We're just products to them, and there's no way to opt-out. Greed reigns supreme. They want to replace every human job with shity AI. Nobody will sell data by default so they turn on these settings secretly. Let AI companies take data & then announce we have opt out options. How is this even legal?

Are we doing science reporting or what? What kind of reporting is this and the unit? Please stick to measuring space objects in meters or kilometers and not this washing machine as a size unit.

By the way, it is more important that he remembers what he said correctly.
