I don't have confidence in any majority government. The elected party doing as they want and ignoring part of the electorate is a failure of democracy. Every motion should be evaluated on its merit, not through agreements of party support. In that sense, the likelihood of a majority Conservative after an election would be a bad thing.

The opinion of Linux desktop users (or any users really) do not count in the enterprise world. Somehow, if management bought in on the Crowdstrike rootkit bandwagon, you'll see it on corporate hardware. It doesn't matter if it's a bad plan; it doesn't matter if it gives an American company a backdoor to all you infrastructure; if the CISO decides everyone gets it, everyone get it.

The only thing you can really do as a lowly employee is keep any such device away from any personal info or network as if it's infected by malware (which I would argue is exactly what it is).

You also can't make star ships out of an sdcard

As a bytecode tinkerer, I'd say considering NOP to be global knowledge is a slippery slope.

just tag yourself as "early-access" and suddenly everyone will forgive your flaws.

As a developer, I really don't like how Wayland has fractured the ecosystem. Competing immature protocols are still all over the place while the immobility of x11 has spoiled us for years. It's getting better, but in the meantime I can still write an x11 app which will work mostly everywhere (thanks to xwayland), whereas a wayland app may not work everywhere (not on X11, and not on compositors which don't implement the right combinations of protocols).

Hacker: That's ok, we don't want you to paste stuff in there, we just want you to send us your cookies. It's not like you're eating them anyway…

Consider IEEE754 arithmetic as monadic, simple!

The EU is basically slapping Canadians with a reciprocal policy. Canada has the eTA (electronic travel authorization) which they have to file and pay 7$ to visit, even if they don't need a visa. This is the same in reverse.

It seems like they also have a "password grid" multi-factor option that you can print. I hate seeing custom authentication schemes (or insecure ones like SMS) instead of standards like OATH-TOTP, but I do applaud having accessibility options.
