Sounds like the exact reason that official debian backports came into existence.

BenJ had coauthor credit on it.

QC has stronger protections than neighboring ON does, actually. If the employee has more than 2 years of service they simply cannot be dismissed without just cause. Even under 2 years there are a bunch of protections, but at 2+ it gets harder.

100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game.

Edit: Some of his capital investors might have told him that they want out of xAI because they see where the wind is blowing. This gets them out with profit if they pull it off fast enough.
This (SpaceX IPO) is going to be a massive rug pull, for the 2nd round of public traders and I bet that he’s got structure in place to ensure that even after selling billions of dollars of shares he still holds 51% or some shit, or that his annual compensation is $0+1% of the company.
10 years ago I would have bought into a SpaceX IPO. Not today.

He was attached to Ubi’s office Montreal, QC, Canada.
If there isn’t anything more than what is mentioned in the article, it’s highly that the CDPDJ would rule against Ubi if the dismissal is challenged; this would likely be protected as Freedom of Expression, as nothing negative was said about Ubi besides the implication that Ubi thought that their employees wouldn’t see their motives.

I dunno. I still don’t use Wayland, but I have no problem with people developing for it.

The IoT edition of Windows 11 runs in 4GB ram and performs ok. I don’t recommend more ram, I recommend either Linux or LTSC IoT.

I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.

It’s a compounding problem

I just asked 2 IT guys “hey, do you know what punycode is?” And the answer I received was “I’ve heard of it but don’t know what it is.”
Thank you for informing me, but I’m far from alone in not recognizing it or having knowledge of what punycode is.

Looks like a totally legit domain. Much trusting.

I run audiobookshelf through it and it works flawlessly.

I think he’s not concerned about much besides himself.

Sure, but one is rude to people that deliver bad work to him, the other is rude to people that don’t accept his bad work from him.

Funny how we’ve forgotten already the rage and backlash from users when it was revealed you could never completely disable telemetry in windows 10.
Now the general attitude is ‘well, it’s not as bad as 11.’
For the better part of a decade I used windows only for gaming, and now I’ve dropped it for that too.
I’m not sure why some people still refuse to consider using an alternative to windows these days.

Vulnerable? Do you have examples? I’m not aware of any.

Or maybe they’re developers that are tired of the wheel being reimplemented?
Eg.

One of the things that keeps me on x11 is xscreensaver. I disable the desktop environments blanking and install xscreensaver each time I load a system for myself.

I’m on their free tier. If you don’t have a domain you need to get one, but CloudFlare does offer domain registration basically at-cost.
Because I’m on free, I can’t break down my analytics like a paid account can. i can say though that for the past 30 days my account has generated 886k requests and 47.56GB of bandwidth. I can’t tell you how much of that is nextcloud and how much is other stuff, like audiobookshelf, but hopefully this helps answer you.

Exactly why I run LMDE and not LM.

100% this. I have one running in a lxc, and I expose it to the world through a CloudFlare tunnel so I needn’t worry about dyndns or people probing my public IP.
