Fair point - Microsoft has definitely made it easier for cross-platform deployment with Entra ID, and for many orgs the F3 license math works out. May I ask, has the fact that the data and service is under US residency and subject to US law

That's the plan. I still have to figure out a lot but it's fun!

Honestly, I wish I could stick with LDAP forever, it just worked. But no. My first setup in 2004 was OpenLDAP all the way for every service. I am moving to a new server over Christmas, thanks for telling though :-)

Stay vigilant. Our German conservatives will repeat the process to restrict our human rights over and over until it slips through the cracks. It's funny how politicians want laws against issues for which they usually are the guilty par

1. I find it hard to call this a sovereign cloud. This is still Azure - albeit with the crown jewels cut out - in a different dress. Did they verify there is nothing inside that Azure stack enabling calls home? 2. SAP itself is not sovereig

Systems against money laundering only work against average Joe/Jane. Really wealthy people just make a deal with a bank of their choice and launder money legally.

The wonderful thing about money is: its roots are only in belief, not in fact. If you get a sufficient amount of money users to believe pink colored dog poop has more value than a diamond, than it has. The entire shtick is made up. People j

Have you ever use any of those in a realistic scenario? Any existing CI/CD solution is broken like hell and if you try to do more advanced stuff like reusing templates or actions, all hell breaks lose. Don't get me started on clon

In reality executives are responsible when the company is doing well. When mistakes happen it is either handled by insurance or by firing an employee who was only partially involved.

That remark about blue states is pretty meaningless. Red states do much worse. You could simplify the whole post by to express that any state or political party in the US is abhorrent to the citizens. The only significant or interesting thi

If a product becomes unstable due to increased competition it's not exactly been stable before. Also the whole premium is quite off. You got good items for fair prices before factories started producing bread. Often at higher quality.

Considering I talked about a truly free market, central planning then seems to be a weird reaction. Why would that be related? It's not like I suggested a Chinese system, I advocated for one which is free from monopoly and focusses on

But I think we're missing an important point here: moving production to low cost environments just moves costs from business costs into external costs, putting them on society. As for productivity, I think that's an issue that cou

The special kind of freedom that is limited to one specific group of people. See recent events for reference.

Not really. The opposite. The current market is centralized a lot more than people want to see or admit. I had trust in the free market for a long time but it has not really materialized the best results. As can be seen by the current state

This makes a good argument against centralized production and knowledge. It would economically be much more reasonable if any good could be produced anywhere at any time. Smaller production facilities for localized sourcing. Would IMHO also

Hasn't that point already been reached given the US could not sustain itself in any reasonable way without Chinese labor and knowledge? There seem to be a lot of companies in the S&P500 that would dry out without access to Chinese

There never was any need for advertising, except for someone desiring to get paid for it. you know it's a scam the moment they promise you more than 2% returns.

If history shows anything than it is that companies will abuse workers if there is no organization and legislation stopping them. The fact that some get a good salary but way more get a bad one plus a lot of abuse should be a concern to all

If you are except from following copyright rules you should also not be able to retain rights for material crafted based on what you got. It's that simple.

Software licensing for games, or other media is the corporate way of stealing from people. Removal of ownership from the working class is what has been silently forced upon all of us. And not just that, license usually also greatly reduces

The answers here seem to only allow for one solution: where no technical requirements exist in favor of RTO, one should provide employees the choice. Each person has their own place where productivity is good, and it may even change between

So you also dispute fuel stations selling fuel for all car brands and would prefer fuel stations only supporting one car brand instead of the generic standard? And yes, this is the same. Why should BMW allow Exxon or Shell to fuel the cars

If you believe corruption is just spreading now, you missed every single politician since the founding of Germany. Or every other country on the whole planet therefore. Wikipedia documents that well enough.

Essentially they are bullshit. Every company implementing OKRs literally has no clue what is going on in their business, so OKRs tend to be some disconnected bullshit where someone will pretend they have any relevance, when actually not a s
