In the meanwhile my big bad corp measures AI usage as a performance KPI

Not US, but the seminars to fill in the hours in my country were closer to legal bribes and/or holidays in often exotic places. They usually were provided/funded by the medicine lobby.

Accessing the shop by going through the wall with a tank is not the same as walking in the door. Hosting costs money. These botnets should be charged for the costs they incur

I think the second is incorrect too. DDoS is a DDoS no matter what the intent is.

The only reason I have not defaulted to jj already is the inability to be messy with it. Easy to make mistakes without "git add"

New comment by aduwah in "Our commitment to Windows quality"

I had a chat with a Linux fan the other day. They said Linux is better because you can replace kernels easily to get driver support for something that wasn't working.

The problem is that I do not want to mess around to make things work. This is the power of Windows. Everything is built around it and it does not need or want you to keep hacking it.

Don't get me wrong I am working on Mac and my personal dev laptop is a Linux Mint, but sometimes it physically hurt to find something that sends me down a rabbit hole yet again on Linux. I just think the whole "you have to hack it because you can and otherwise you don't really own it" thing is a big hurdle on Linux that keeps mainstream peeps to stay away

Not sure if I made sense, but yeah basically in order to challenge Windows Linux would need to "just work" which is not the case right now (or ever was)

Not to defend crypto, but this all applies to fiat too

It is not hygienic, but with only the account-id you are fine. In the IAM rules the attacker can always just use a * on their end, so it does not make a difference. You have to be conscious to set proper rules for your (owner) end tho.

I was a big fan of pidgin, but this premise makes me feel iffy.

Why would I ever want my work to intrude on my personal messaging? My private time is my own. Slack/Teams is perfect because I can mute it on a schedule when I stop for the day.

Anything that is urgent can be managed via Pagerduty or similar on a controlled fashion

Raising awareness is not a bad call. I would not know about this, if it would surface in a random US paper
