Right, I remember the MS/IE issue in the past. I never understood why Apple wasn’t held to the same scrutiny. They don’t have the corporate hold like Windows does, so maybe that was why.

So if Google has to sell off Chrome, what happens to Chromebooks? It runs on ChromeOS with Chrome being the main interface. Could Google not spin off Chrome as another company?

Why force one company to sell off their browser? Shouldn’t MS have to sell Edge and Apple sell Safari?

No, just a personal choice.

Does anyone know good people to follow? I’d rather not join Bluesky.

Haha be thankful for what you have. I work at a pretty large financial institution and we still use Skype for Business. There is another messaging app we use but not everyone is granted access to it so I have to use both apps daily.

What’s Bluesky going to do to combat Russian bots and misinformation, and essentially keep it from becoming Twitter/X?

Republicans will control Congress. I’m sure they’ll be fine rolling anything back.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls the US out of NATO and the UN, since he hates both organizations.

You’d be amazed at what seemingly intelligent people will do or say or believe.

Aren’t 75% of the users Russian bots? Lol

Man, you never worked for a large corporation that that had internal web based apps that only work on Internet Explorer and refused to update it.

I wonder how this affects people that setup Pi Hole and VPN and all that.

Sounds about right for HP.

He’s just butthurt that he can’t get xAI off the ground.

Tell me about gaming on Linux. Most if my gaming is via Steam and I have a Steamdeck which I know runs on a flavor of Linux so it can be done. Is it fair to say that any game that runs on the Steam runs on Steam Linux?

I just got a new prebuilt with Windows 11 Pro and I’ve been curious about Linux for the past few months. I know the variations have gotten better over the years but haven’t done too much research into it. I hear Mint and Arch quite a bit.

Not a programmer by any means (haven’t done any since college) but I’ve asked it for help in writing Jira queries or Excel mess and it’s been pretty solid with that stuff.

I think it’s more these companies invested millions into either building the offices or renting them (and can’t get out of the lease) so to make it worth while they’re having people come back.

One of my offices moved to a larger building across the street because there wasn’t enough room for FTEs and contractors to come in 3 days a week. The larger building still isn’t large enough even for just FTEs so they rented a floor of another building and are making contractors go to that building 3 days a week. They’re going to an office to still be remote lol. Talk about stupidity.

He just laid off the entire supercharger team and I think the car design team lol.

It’s about making money for executives and shitting on the employees that do the actual work.
