My friend, you are in luck:

A lot of advertising is built around making consumers feel good for buying particular products, not convincing them to buy in the first place. Debate in this context would be useless because it’s more about confirmation bias than coercion.

The supplier, 30Seconds Group, says the cameras allow them to track “occupant engagement” from residents who are a “captive audience” as they wait for lifts to their apartments.

JFC, how do these people sleep with themselves at night.

I’m not overly concerned with an organization trying to build surveillance functions into an open source operating system.

On the other hand, a government organization might do a better job of keeping track of development goals over time. It might be slower than independent open source projects, but it would probably also be more stable than most Linux distros. Enterprise-level software has different requirements and different development cycles from consumer-level software. Having a competing option for Red Hat could only be a good thing.

I’d bet it would take a planification similar to building a nuclear reactor or an airport: over budget, blown over scheduled time, fulfilling specs on paper but not in spirit, and used only when people have no other option

It’s not as if they’d be starting from scratch, it would most likely still be Linux. But they might bring more focus to long-term stability and especially cybersecurity implementations to meet government security requirements.

ah, well then, RedStar OS is for you!

Sure, but I mean a distro developed/maintained/curated officially by the EU or one of its member governments.

I look forward to EU Linux.

“Computer says no.”

Added salt? ultraproccessed.

Added sugar? ultraprocessed.

Pasteurized? ultraprocessed.

Packaged for shipping? ultraprocessed.

People should only eat raw unwashed vegetables straight out of the ground, as God intended.

The best thing about this is that eventually these organizations are going to want features and fixes that don’t exist yet in the open source software they’re using, at which point they’ll have to invest in development. If this becomes a trend I think it will mean more stability and more functionality in open software in general.

“asked”?

This would kind of make sense if Isildur had taken the ring and tried to disassemble it and learn how its various magic effects worked, in order to extend life without the downsides.

The amount of things we’ve learned from the field of virology is fucking nuts.

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”

30 hard drives of bitcoin, you say? Why are you asking me to turn in 20 hard drives for evidence when there were only 10 hard drives?
