This is probably the play they’re making; the only thing that makes me think it might be something else is that they also announced ditching proprietary code in favor of kvm in workstation. Makes me wonder if they instead are deciding to slowly kill the product line, and instead of just stopping development entirely, they’re giving it out as if it’s some huge gift to try and “buy” good will before it becomes an inferior product?

Either way, support costs for the product are now $0 (because you can’t buy it) and development costs are about to be near-zero if they’re forking upstream kvm.

I think it’s one of those things that is against the spirit of a law but not the letter of it. It feels illegal, it probably should be illegal, it might be illegal in the future, but for now it’s sketchy but technically above board.

I don’t think anyone should expect a battery replacement to be free after 10 years, but it shouldn’t cost $100,000

I guess I should rephrase.

I label a lot of boxes and spice containers but nothing unhinged lol

They’re like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they’re also my go-to for white-elephant parties.

I run ubuntu’s server base headless install with a self-curated minimal set of gui packages on top of that (X11, awesome, pulse, thunar) but there’s no reason you couldn’t install kde with wayland. Building the system yourself gets you really far in the anti-bloatware dept, and the breadth of wiki/google/gpt based around Debian/Ubuntu means you can figure just about any issues out. I do this on a ~$200 eBay random old Dell + a 3050 6gb (slot power only).

For lighter gaming I’ll use the Ubuntu PC directly, but for anything heavier I have a win11 PC in the basement that has no other task than to pipe steam over sunshine/moonlight

It is the best of both worlds.

What if he wasn’t speeding, and didn’t dismiss dangerous civil behavior as something he should be allowed to pay 0.0001% of his net worth for and move on without consequence?

We should be one of those countries where civil infraction penalties are calculated based on net worth.

This seems like the closest we’ll ever get to “justice” on the guy who only isn’t in jail right now for beating the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend “because he’s Tyreek Hill”

Sometime between now and September, obviously.

What’s the reference?
