Yes, I literally am a government employee, and formerly worked in the military in Radio Comms and IT, often with Top Secret communications and infrastructure . I am intimately familiar with government procedures and limitations.

I never said that end-users would be setting up LibreOffice. I'm just pointing out there's a low/no-cost solution, and it isn't a hardware limitation.

The thin clients should be capable of running LibreOffice, or at least running it remotely.

If you're upgrading your phone every year, that is a personal choice. Plus, most people who do that trade-in/sell their old phone which gets used by someone else.

I completely agree with what you said. It's been years since I bought any games and yet my experience just gets better and better on Steam, especially as a Linux user.

I don't really see any downsides to annual phone releases. For those people who want to upgrade every year, they can, for everyone else, you upgrade when you want to and you get a pretty new phone. I definitely agree the improvements for slab phones has slowed down a bunch, but there are still pretty big leaps in foldables, etc.

iPhone SE doesn't come out every year, and Apple doesn't have a foldable.

They've said, in an emergency, they could get everyone into the other crafts.

Ground guide or at least a crew commander at the top of the tank/armoured fighting vehicle. I can see lots of people accepting a lookout on top of their Personal Support Truck before they'd consider downsizing or gulp not driving. I guess that would also increase vehicle occupancy above the abysmal 1.4 people/vehicle it's currently at!

No, I didn't validate your question, just clarified why you were confused. "A magnitude less" is hyperbole and therefore clearly an opinion.

Sorry if it wasn't clear, maybe I should have said, "I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less." The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.

I'm not sure what flagrant fouls have to do with being racist?

Sure, but

  1. She didn't endorse Harris

  2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.
