Still I think it would have been better for OP to link to the source to avoid exactly this confusion.

Also a fun fact: For a long time it was only semi-officially known that the BND owned and operated the site. Officially it was called "Long distance telecommunications station of the Bundeswehr" and operated by the "Federal Office for Telecommunications Statistics"

For the debugger use case: If the IDE has already focus, it can pass an activation token to the debugger and the debugger can use this to focus itself. If the IDE is not focused, I don't want the debugger to steal focus.

Also, why are you mentioning the look of people in a discussion about cars and manufacturing?

In the last decade of writing Java software I didn't ever come across a genuine GC bug where a unreferenced object wasn't collected. I'm not disputing that they exist, but if you regularly hit such "bugs" I'm wondering if your understanding of Java GC might be flawed.

Do you expect objects to be immediately collected when they are not reachable anymore?

So it often comes down to this choice: Open https://copilot.cloud.microsoft/, go through the Microsoft 365 login process, dig your phone out for two-factor authentication, approve it via Microsoft Authenticator, finally type your request only to get a response that feels strangely lobotomized.

Or… just go to https://chatgpt.com/, type your prompt, and actually get an answer you can work with.

It feels like every part of Microsoft wants to do the right thing, but in the end they come out with an inferior product.

One annoying thing is that tiered storage is not available on their Azure offering, and also in general it feels like managed service for TimescaleDB is the unloved stepchild of their offering.

But yes, I hope the team continues their amazing work, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the project develops in the future.

It's not making it impossible to run GNOME on non-systemd systems, but it shifts the responsibility of maintaining that support to the projects that are actually interested in it. I think ultimately this might lead to a better user experience since the people developing non-systemd support are also the ones using it.

That might be the case in very controlled environments such as a subway network, but in other, more heterogeneous environments GoA 4 is not there yet.

Otherwise this quote wouldn't make sense:

> [...] top-tier user privileges that neither Berulis nor his boss possessed

However, my guess would be that this is the role that DOGE employees requested to be assigned as it is the role with the highest level of privileges.

Then why use encryption at all when your threat model for encrypted communication can't handle a malicious actor on the network?
