I said only 1-3 could keep it secret. More could pull it off, but not in secrecy. Anyways, the main point is that we know for a fact thanks to our constitutional audit office that nothing even remotely like this is being done by our three&#

Well, I wanted to use Linux, not Windows. And my servers ran (and still run) Linux, not Windows. The point wasn't that I couldn't do my school assignments (I was forced to use Windows VM) but that not even this simple task could b

I think you have no idea what you're talking about. Read the book. Very few states would be able to do the things described there, and even less of them (1-3, maybe) could hide it.

This state doesn't even have the agencies that would do it, much less a budget for them. The agencies we have - they have reporting requirements, and these are checked to be accurate by elected auditors.

That's cool, but you can't run standards. I tried Mono since its early days and kept trying until .NET Core came, but it was nowhere near production-ready, it wasn't enough for my school assignments, much less production. I&#

No, it's not. My state never tried to do anything even remotely like what's described as standard practice in the book (and what's provably being done by them here).

Isn't that exactly from their playbook? I mean the neofascist book by Dugin about pseudo-geopolitics that they made required reading at the military universities. "Foundation of Geopolitics" is the name.

You'd be surprised how many people think the opposite. For example in Slovakia more than half of the public blames Ukraine.

Perhaps to force EU to lessen the sanctions, which are also hitting the gas pipeline operator companies?

Could you please be more specific about what discoveries you mean?

Is Google using V8 on their own hardware paid for with their own money? I thought they're not using it on GCP for anything. What's the incentive for them to move to process multitenancy? They can simply (ab)use that computers are

Well nice, really - but as you yourself point out, it's Windows only, and being locked to Windows is not an option. Perhaps if dotnet was open source and multi platform from the beginning, it would've been used instead of developi

I don't think so, the Aero look and feel was out (in Longhorn betas) way before KDE4 came to be... But perhaps the Windows 7 look was influenced by it. However, the current look of KDE - which is much more like Aero - is very recent, a

What's wrong with the web on mobile devices? PWAs are going to get better support even on iOS now. What remains to be done?

There also used to be KDE on Windows - exactly what it sounds like, a full Plasma desktop running on Windows!

Sorry but this sounds like "now draw the rest of the owl" to me... How do you find leads? How do you market products to them? How do you get them to say a word of feedback? How do you close the deal? How do you retain the customer
