microsoft sent their letter out when it was highly likely the new diktat applied to existing visa holders too. they had very little time to respond if they wanted to make sure people got home before the absurdly short deadline.

that was not at all certain yesterday, and even now there's the constant fact that a border agent can decide to be nasty and use this as a pretext to deny you entry, with no real recourse on your part. as a parallel example, trump rece

the whole US visa morass is complicated and volatile enough that a lot of large companies have dedicated teams who help advise their employees on visa issues and how to best navigate them. this "guidance" is basically saying &quot

a quick google search for "modi authoritarian" would have given you tons of hits talking about it, with documented incidents and policies to back them up. calling it "just not liking modi" does the people justifiably ala

i would have thought it was pretty understandable shorthand for "once i switched to wayland my personal xmonad setup stopped working". wasn't accusing xmonad of being broken!

as a long-time programmer, sysadmin/sre/devops is a whole different mindset and skillset. i would be neither willing nor able to do that guy's job; i don't fault him for not wanting to do mine. clearly since he keeps bei

the other thing not enough people are talking about is how even what should be genuinely new and exciting tech is instead shackled to some mandatory internet-of-shit account, which makes it nigh impossible to care about. you might say that

I'm in the apparently small demographic that wants both a full fledged desktop environment and automatic tiling. kde used to support swapping out the window manager for xmonad but something in the upgrade from kde5 to kde6 broke that,

yeah, pytype used a mix of visitors and if statements (we were trying to retain 3.8 compatibility for a while so we didn't switch to `match`), depending on what fit various parts of the code best. it wasn't a particularly dogmatic
