Interesting. I knew the stuff about Munich, and I knew Gates was still a shareholder, but didn’t know he was still so actively involved. Based on that last link, it sounds more like he’ll be telling Nadella to get on a plane and what to say on arrival rather than get on it himself though.
Nadella you mean? It’s been a while since Gates was CEO of Microsoft.
The “do more with less” philosophy doesn’t make sense here either. Why not “do loads more with same”?
Imagine the current workforce, with all the experience and domain knowledge, paired with AI instead of replaced by it. Humans can do such awesome things when we work together.
These billionaires can be so short-sighted sometimes. All profit and no vision.
Yes, the difference in temperature is interesting, I don’t want to seem dismissive of that. Just the choice of wording was also interesting.
Lisbon is in Portugal btw. (But that doesn’t change the distances.)
It’s still an odd way to compare temperatures:
They also developed their own Rust UI library and open-sourced it.
I also suspect that Doritos dipping cheese is closer to a fossil fuel than a dairy product. I still eat it though.
Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn’t have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.

I love Bazzite. It’s a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.
Hangovers never seem to last beyond a sip of coffee, or hearing important news.
Mythbusters covered this. They shot carcasses with .50 cals and they barely moved, despite being damaged.
To me, the logic is similar to "I can PROVE God exists. Look at the way this banana fits in my hand… "
Maybe they should have listened to him instead of correcting him.
But, AI can do the work of 10 of you humans, so it can write 10 times the bugs and deploy them to production 10 times faster. Especially if pesky testers stay out the way instead of finding some of the bugs.
They’re laying off testers because they think AI can do it all now.
People seem to be more attached to ideas they had themselves, rather than ones others tell them. I suspect it’s more successful to lead them to a conclusion they feel they came to on their own.
Surely all plants adapted to be on the outside, unless the dinosaurs had greenhouses.
Whilst this answer is correct, it’s not entirely accurate, because it is dismissive of the root cause. The logical follow-up question is: “Why is energy billed in kWh?”. If the question/cycle answer continues down this line there will probably be an answer like “because <some person> had to make a decision once, and they chose this because of <some reason>, and now we’re all stuck with it because of convention.”
Anyone who doesn’t understand what joules are probably doesn’t understand what kWh are either. If the billing convention (and every other power consumption label) used joules (of course MJ or GJ) instead, then most people would just accept that as the unit of billing and measurement, and those who understand what the units mean would have an easier time of it.
I’m holding out hope that discounts wont work this time, because the motivation is different. It used to be about cost, now it’s about digital sovereignty. I won’t bet anything of value, but I can hope.
