Companies using RHEL or SUSE and paying for support usually don't switch. This is one of the rare moments where SUSE has a real chance to expand their market share in this space.

So, reading section 3.2.1, which details the legal basis for collection under national security purposes, all of it seems to hang on EO 14086, which "replaces Presidential Policy Directive (PPD-28) to a large extent, strengthens the co

They don't really care about misuse. They just don't want to say openly that they like to keep their shiny new tech and make money with it. No idea why, most people wouldn't bat an eye if you stated from the get go: We built

If someone has the words "manufactured consent" in their comment it's a dead giveaway that MAGA bullshitting is what they want, thinking it somehow represents "free speech". So, from the perspective of the GP Twitte

Reddit had years to make changes to the moderating situation. Any changes at all. Do you really think that they will start now instead of just cutting off their army of free mods and then wonder why things will go to shit even faster?

If a textbook you require for a course can cost up to 500 dollar (not unheard of in e.g. medicine) and you have to buy multiple books in one semester it's no longer an afterthought. What is top ten will always depend on personal situat

No, what we need is someone who is just happy with a business that pays for itself and gives a healthy profit for the owner, not "omfg, shitloads of money". Reddit is - as far as I know - profitable. All employees are paid, all co
