Who says they aren’t trying right now? I recall SSH had an attempt quite recently, I can guarantee that China is trying hard to include anything to out in back doors

I recall reading a few weeks ago that Nvidia released new driver updates that would fix stuttering issues, iirc specifically with Wayland. I got no specifics for you, but maybe a few searches will shed light

Yeah… The main thing I see here is that China (read; government , not the people, not being racist here) will take this code, they will make improvements on it, they will NOT give back. Basically like Microsoft, but now an entire country.

Chinese government hasn’t exact had a good reputation when it comes to taking technology and not giving anything back

UH OH!

With ICQ I learned the social skills that I couldn’t on the real world because I had been bullied to near death. I talked to random people all over the world, learned that I could talk to girls without having to feel like shit.

Used it so much, and with volume up, my upstairs neighbor thought I was watching the teletubbies all the time because of the UH OH!

Met my first girlfriend this way, she was in Mexico, I was in Europe. Moved to Mexico to marry her (bad idea, she was rather manipulativr and a huge cheater as it turned out, got divorced) and lived in Mexico for samn near 20 years.

To say that ICQ had a big positive influence in my life is an understatement, it changed my life beyond anything I’ve ever had before.

Thank you.

Yeah, though the Chinese government isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their heart, this is what open source is about.

Install Linux already, just get it over with.

A 35 mph crash would make the inside of that cyber truck do https://youtu.be/waG8YYTwpAQ?si=ncyl2l4IiP7GDLuk

Even a simple 10 mph “crash” without crumple zone would be painful to say the least

I’m sorry but just wondering here… Why would you need to phone home up to the point where you can’t be without a phone? I didn’t have phones in my school, never needed them either. A lot of people are acting as if not having phones will kill them where in reality, everyone will be just fine.

Why would even that be necessary? It’s school, not jail or drug den…

Kids survived fine without phones for millenia, I’m sure they can survive now. If there is a real emergency, then I’m sure some supervisor can make a call…

3 years

Though I hate systemd with a passion, this does seem to be a “doh” situation…

Systemd changes my entire system to the point that 5 minute tasks now take me an hour, I hate it with a passion…

But this ain’t it

I am, actually!

I know it sucks for the call center personnel to have to listen to people yelling at them, but I’ve had multiple of such companies that were so shitty that the only way to get anything fixed was to keep making people cry until finally someone would push you to a supervisor. Well at enough of them and they will either fix the issue or push you through to their supervisors who will do anything to stop the yelling.

I got to the point where I’ll just make then cry because it’s the only option left to get any normal responsible behavior from companies. I’ll have to call 20 times perhaps but that’s what I’ll do then

Not sure if you’re coming or simping M$

I hate cheaters

Wells Fargo

I’ll allow it

Exactly that is why everyone said about Russia and where are we now?

When push comes to shove…

And that ignores the shit show it will be for China to conquer Taiwan, which it will be even without help from the US.

There you have your answer to the question you didn’t ask, but you know what I mean

Microsoft cares so much about security

Are you kidding? I’ve known Microsoft as a shitty software vendor that gives a rats ass about security for over 40 years now. Microsoft never has cared about security, it’s a running gag at this point

Again, just install Linux.

Dump your windows, install Linux, be done with this nonsense.

Seriously, why are governments using Microsoft software?

Don’t give me the nonsense line of “they need support”. There is support for Linux too, and Linux, sorry, works, is reliable and most importantly: a hell of a lot safer than windows. This is example #346269 where Microsoft not only fails to keep windows even remotely safe, but actively sabotaged their customers (in this case the US government) for their own profit.

And again, “wwheeeyyyrreee sooowwyyyy, pleeeaaasseeee forgif us?” Look! Look! Even our CEO will now be interested in secuwity!

Seriously I’m so tired of having to read this over and over and he government will just contoi to pump millions over millions into that piece of crap company.

Switch to Linux already and have computers that you can trust have no known issues that are not being resolved to cover for a few rich assholes!
