Wasn’t he departing from Hong Kong to Ecuador and was stuck in Russia because his passport was revoked in transit? I thought that’s what I remembered hearing. I think all of his meetings with reporters were in Hong Kong.

Makes me wonder about aiming all those subscriptions at LibreOffice. How fast could it be improved to gain parity or surpass MS Office? Maybe the new Omarchy foundation thing will take it on. DHH has pretty publicly been asking for a versio

His entire life is on video. Please pull direct quotes for any of that. I watched in the aftermath of his death as all of these horrible things he supposedly said were paraded around. Every one was manipulated nonsense. The machine hated Ch

The guy who killed her claimed Tim Waltz put him up to it. It wasn’t found to be credible.

Why Charlie? Because tomorrow is 1 year to the day and it’s on my mind. Hortman? Agreed. Much more attention needs to be paid to why she was killed less than a week after breaking from her party to vote for something on Trumps agenda.

I've been using Cursor with Grok 4.6 a lot over the last week or so. Grok Build as well. Both options are performing very well for me.

I don't run their business. Just trying to explain. From what we see above it sounds like the change trips their rootkit detection, which they are probably interpreting as a compromised device. It sounds like you're expecting them

Yea, years ago I was in the security space and got to talk to some paypal security folks at a symposium in San Diego. The level of stuff that they have to deal with is so extreme. It's similar to how people don't like sites block

Yea, I don’t get the shade. As many have said, it’s just Arch + a very polished UX preconfigured so you can jump right in without a lot of setup overhead. Why it’s security would be on a different level than any other Linux distro isn’t cle
