You know they steal books by the library right?
It really could be more if the linux user community could agree on things and stop gatekeeping - which seems to be the only thing most online active linux users can agree on "ermagerd eternal september" 🙄
Here? Or create a community where you're the admin and make it "admin post only". You might need to ask your instance admins if that's alright though.
In other words, use the fediverse 🙂
A bunch. I simply do not communicate without private messengers. If somebody asked me to use Matrix / Element, that'd be fine too.
People who don't care enough to use a private messenger are implying that they don't care about my and our privacy. It's quite simple for me not to want to talk to them 🤷♂️
I think you misunderstand the purpose of Signal. It's for encrypted communication. SMS can be encrypted but it can be a real hassle and security risk if messages are sent over 2 different channels and start arriving out of order or not at all. Sending media over SMS is also a problem as now that introduces another problem: MMS is over data, not SMS. If you don't have data but do have SMS, a message in the chain isn't delivered which means key renegotiation.
They dropped SMS for very good reasons. It's not because "they are lazy" or and they had "fuck all to do". If it really were that easy, it would've been done.
Productivity gains never mean wage increases. It's much more likely that they mean job cuts.
Isn't that the same for an upgrade to Windows 11? You don't "just" upgrade to a new OS or OS version without checking whether everything will work. What kind of an "IT leader" would you be?
I'd say if you aren't looking at alternatives and testing them to reduce costs and future turmoil like this, you aren't doing your job. Whether the outcome is sticking to Windows 10 and paying the fee, upgrading to Windows 11, or finding a Linux distribution for your environment, at least do the legwork of investigating.
Beyond concerns about the accuracy of age-assurance technology and the VPN workaround, the new search engine rules will still allow users to access adult content simply by not logging in.
This dude could look at TuxedoComputers and Slimbook. They make good laptops.

Thank you. I'll ask questions here, but might find out more while reading the other answers.
~~So, SDL provides a window with an OpenGL surface. What is OpenGL? Is it an API spec that can have multiple implementations like the opensource implementation that is Mesa? Is DirectX 3D the same just with a proprietary implementation?~~ @Kissaki@programming.dev answered this.
And when you say "Vulkan is multi-threaded", does that mean that the implementation uses instructions for drivers that target a multiple GPU cores? I would have expected the multi-threaded or parallelism aspect to be handled by the driver, not the driver client (in this case Vulkan or Mesa/OpenGL).
