Check out Tuxedo Computers (Germany), and Starlabs (United Kingdom). They’re both competent in PC assembly.

Ditching Microsoft is only a pure benefit.

Linux is free, better maintained, and way less troublesome for proper work. Microsoft ecosystem is just an illusion of comfort that keeps breaking itself the moment it encounters a printer, a virtual machine having issues, or whatever else.

Better invest that money into real human employees rather than paying for all the licensing costs.

While at it, the cybersecurity mafia should also get sanctioned out of existence by making the SOC 2 charade an irrelevant thing. It’s just an overpriced, silly report, not even a proper certification anyway.

Nah, at this point the other nations should go Va Banque with their sanctions, and embargo until the USA collapses into +/- 50 independent countries. Toxic relationships deserve to have their bridges permanently burnt, no “another chance” just to be fooled once again.

Israel really needs a new government, even more than the US… Those in power are insane, and they’re clearly not representative of their entire nationality yet they put their own citizens in a bad light.

Kind of like the prejudice towards general German population after World War 2, which still lives in the minds of some politicians.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure some even crazier lobbyist multi billionaires are behind all of this, and figures like Netanyahu or Trump are probably their puppets.

AI is just an assisting technology, and that’s it. There’s no point to break a sweat over Intellectual Property and other theoretical (non-enforceable) “if” scenarios.

Mechanics cannot be copyrighted, period. If a certain function is achievable by code, you cannot copyright it.

If the code happens to be used in a private code base, sucks to be them. Good luck trying to lawsuit EU countries as an American business. Or better yet, good luck in lawsuits against Asian companies - I’m sure they’ll take you seriously!

If something is publicly available on the Internet, then it’s not private anymore. You have to live with that fact. Ever shared something embarrassing online? It’s going to live on the Internet forever now. Same goes for code.

Intellectual Property is sometimes a meme. It only applies in very specific scenarios where you can apply a patent or other protection, sure, but it still doesn’t guarantee the world will take it seriously, because guess what… The world is not under jurisdiction of the United States (which happens to be very fond of its patents).

Stay safe out there, AI is just a helper, and let it remain that way. Let the others worry about security of their own code, rather than skimping on salaries for cybersecurity professionals who would otherwise secure them against their code leaking to the public domain.

Turkey wouldn’t need any help from NATO to take care of the Zionist military. And if they’d get even the slightest help, then it’d be over even quicker.

I’m pretty sure none of the two nations are particularly hated, but rather the hate goes towards Zionists for their war crimes. They’ll interpret that as hating the entire nation, or even two regardless, as that serves their agenda of playing the victim card when under pressure.

I see no Charlie Kirk; That’s Adolf Brickler, the infamous brick maker.

Regardless of the tool, the person in question has killed an innocent human being. They must face justice like any other would for this misdeed.

• (in-house) Recruiter
• Project Manager
• Agile Coach

These are probably my top three. Recruiters who work in company HR, are usually very moody about who they pick, based on personal preference rather than facts. Sole proprietor recruiters are effective though, that’s why only the in-house ones.

The other two are similar, but they’re the “I work in IT” people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the “imposter syndrome”).

And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.

I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.

They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.

Classic business marketing.

I’d personally like to see a LotR in KCD2 format, maybe centred around Rohan or Dale.

I hope they go in depth with side questing and gameplay loops, rather than focusing on the main story. Kind of how Skyrim was a sidetracking paradise.

Don’t you think it’s a bit over the top representation of the MLs? They’re way more cohesive than that, and there’s no Stalin in the “Marxist-Leninist”.

It’s not about universal hate towards a particular nation - more about the idea how our current society is becoming progressively more unbearable by denying life basics to the common folk. Things like “earning a living wage” implies that below a certain threshold we don’t deserve to live. Real estate developers scalping the housing, making it unaffordable. All while a few hundred people owns a huge portion of wealth, constantly growing it and meddling into politics.

Other things like the reality of not actually being able to vote things away once totalitarian parties takeover a country’s legal systems using democratic means.

There’s plenty of that going as to why many like Karl Marx as a literary inspiration.

That’s a good reply I can agree with. I mean we all don’t want to be verbose all the time, but giving some context or counter argument is the point of a healthy discussion. Thank you for the source!

While the corpos are stomping on their own feet, it turns out that doing nothing (i.e. just existing) is the best strategy to apply.

Now perhaps we’ll get more (hopefully) good folks onto Lemmy. Sure, Digg may get some too, but I’m not sure of its long-term privacy respectfulness - being subject to the US laws and all that.

Excuse me, which part is uneducated, and what’s there to read about? I’ve been a solutions architect for years, and I haven’t seen a “one size fits all” type of software. That includes browsers too, which have their technical quirks, compatibility, and inherent risks. I’m capable of creating my own browser, but I don’t believe that makes me qualified to be called a “browsers expert for Earth”, so unless you happen to be Linus Torvalds of browsers, please keep it civil by not being judgemental of folks just discussing. Being open minded is better than being John Firefox, or John Chromium.

What about solo projects? One person is the single point of failure. Small teams without past history? That’s a coin flip, you either encounter genuinely good people, or those who push spyware on you. Or their project becomes abandonware - browsers have thousands of lines of code, and dependencies to be maintained. It’s a very taxing task, which definitely takes away the time for other hobbies. Which leaves us with true community-led projects, which persist regardless of the fate of a corporation or another entity.

Mozilla being sustained by Google just so that Google can’t be sued for monopoly is a vicious circle on its own - Mozilla CEOs are quite unethical at their corporate politics, and very unfair to their employees. Typical 80-90s management style.

So how is mentioning Vivaldi bad? Chromium exists regardless of Google, you don’t need Google to exist for the code base to be intact and developed by people across the globe.

Besides the obvious second-class citizenship treatment from web developers, Firefox is still lackluster in site/process isolation. Its users trade potential privacy gain for a cybersecurity vulnerability & less crash resilience - and most people aren’t Team Blue or Team Red to be on vigil at all times.

Glad to see another Linux phone being added to the current handful - the more, the merrier.

I guess for Americans they can look into the PinePhone by Pine64. There are probably a few other manufacturers out there too.

Thank you! I’ve had the pleasure to notice Lemmy (or this particular instance) is more of an open thinker space, and that’s great to see. It really reminds me of the Internet before the corpos got their hands to squeeze every penny out of the average netizen.

Then that’s great, at some point Mullvad’s browser development slowed down and I had the impression that it was abandoned. Glad that it isn’t.

And of course Vivaldi isn’t the best option out there - it’s just one of the least offending Chromium browsers. Mozilla itself isn’t in too great shape either, sketchy politics and they’re on life support from Google funding.

Firefox forks though? Quite good stuff out there. I’ve heard some recent praise for the Zen browser in particular.

And if you’re on macOS, then Orion browser is a great option (and WebKit-based).
