It's not the maga group Biden needs to convince. Doubling down when they're already all in doesn't mean much.

He's trying to win an election so it's the various "I don't want to vote for Biden so I'll vote for trump or not vote" in swing states people he needs to be moving. To those people, Trump trying to go on an unhinged Twitter tirade at a debate could be persuasive. At least that's what a lot of Dems, and according to this GOP, think is going to happen.

Not specific to AI but someone flat out told me they didn't even run the code to see it work. They didn't understand why I would or expect that before accepting code. This was someone submitting code to a widely deployed open source project.

So, I would expect the answer is yes or very soon to be yes.

Had great luck with polymaker and find they're in the sweet spot of predictable quality and price for me.

Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated... What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?

This sounds like a recipe for malicious compliance if I ever heard it.

Some of us remember win modems and their ability to kill your computer by tying your network performance to your CPU usage. Good times...

IANAL but I thought removing non-PII mostly boiled down to risk since gdpr has big teeth. With a lot of money on the table and a licence attached to post they may feel it's worth pursuing. They've probably been setting up protections for this for a while.

Fwiw, this is not an endorsement of Windows. I strongly believe if most people spent half the time they spent fighting Windows learning Linux they'd never go back.

It's a pretty mixed bag honestly. Sure there are some apps that we get in a mammoth poorly made appimage we'd probably have to have run in wine before or some terrifying statically compiled program embedded in a run script and that's probably a win.

The trade-off is every developer being their own distro maintainer, 100s of gigs of duplicate dependencies, broken containers with missing libraries, leaky requirements on the underlying system, and everyone needs to be a security expert to understand all the options in flatseal to expose the right features.

Also, instead of one distro source, I've got at least 3 and I've in the last week had to install programs from multiple sources trying to get a functioning version. This feels like the norm rather than an exception.

Also this week had an app image broken by a requirement on a removed system library outside the app and a flatpak missing a key library forcing me to dig up an old .deb version. The later I lost like 6hrs on because clearly libusb was installed on the system but I didn't realize I'd installed the flatpak and in wasn't in the container. Such fun.

So it's not really all sunshine and rainbows yet.

Oh I didn't consider deleting my answers. Thanks for the good idea ~~Barbra~~ StackOverflow.

I'm ashamed... It's simply "bump deps"

Did I also touch some code and tests connected to dependency updates. Yes.

Did I document any of that? No.

Did I spend more time writing this comment the thinking about the commit. Most definitely.

Will I be bisecting to this commit after our next deploy and cursing at myself? Probably.

It was the baseline so... Yes?

The feature completion was defined as running most normal applications and by the people working on Wayland not me some random guy on the Internet.

Because no one is going to use Wayland, if they can't.... use it
