French electricity leaves the chat in summer when their plants need to be shut down because the rivers are too warm or don’t carry enough water in the first place. And that’s nothing to say what they will do in the next decade years when a good portion of their reactors should be commissioned out.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation,includong the edit.

Coincidentally I discovered kwriteconfig by myself yesterday - but not the interaction with qdbus.

Thanks. I’ll have a look later, and will try to understand.

Scalability is not viability.

My impression came from headlines like this:

Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund

I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!? Maybe Trump makes a point out of it that it comes from them personally? Would make them personally attached to him.

“Accidentally” is the new “through incompetence”

Exactly, enterprise world. Letsencrypt doesn’t aim for that.

Which of them is free?

The claim to have “nothing to hide” was not just born our of ignorance, but also out of comfort - to not having to do anything about it.

Now that even the last one accepted that they do indeed have something to hide, but in order to justify their own inaction, it’s labeled as inevitable: privacy is not real.

They are lying to themselves, because doing otherwise would mean they have to admit being wrong.

A hundred euro is quite a difference. Didn’t expect it to be that much, tbh.

The only consolation is that, with the discounter sets, you will get something that has been tried and tested and everything is according to the relevant technical standards. Should be, anyway.

Any of the Discounters, really. ALDI, Lidl, Netto, etc have regular offers in their online shops.

Fedora KDE.

I was happily using Windows 10 until a few months ago, but needed to build a new PC. I got a glimpse of Windows 11 on a friend’s laptop and didn’t like it. So I asked my Linux-friend which distribution he would recommend to someone who wants to try Linux, but doesn’t want to stray too far away from the windows look and feel.

You really took the downvotes with grace.

In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

There is also no requirement to be a “good guy” to attend the conference.

Correct. But it’s kind of the inevitable outcome that only “good guys” attend. Why would any bad actor go there and risk being exposed / caught…

You monster

You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

On a scale between 0 and 1 (float) how sure are you exactly?
