I appreciate the “fuck America swinging their dicks around in other’s business” sentiment, but let’s not entertain conspiracy where there isn’t any. America doesn’t need to push its preferences in places where the sentiment already aligns.

My post is that you you blame this on America you won’t think clearly about the actual issue, which is the sentiment of EU politicians and businesses and how they skew unduly in favor of harsh intellectual property restrictions.

Many people in the US thought “He won’t”

So, call your representatives.

Would container ships be a good application? Or too heavy/large?

Not really sure it’s ok for Microsoft to control people’s criticism of them.

It’s not surprising that Microsoft would try, because they’re assholes. It is really surprising that people just let them get away with it, vote for governments who would let them get away with it, etc

Yes. Exactly this. No way for a bot to make an API call to a LLM and get back a solution formatted in JSON that it could easily parse for the solution. Could never happen.

WireGuard would be illegal. ISPs would monitor for encrypted traffic streams. All remote workers must now come back to the office. ofcom can see any and all traffic. Your loyalty to the king shall be examined. You choices of media will be scrutinized. The threat of losing your children will be used to force compliance. Welcome to the machine.

Nah they came back online after like 2 weeks I think?

Now now, I like to shit on vibecoders too but let’s not pretend this is some new problem.

Idiots leave databases on cloud servers exposed all the time rather than deal with their companies often arcane rules for generating certificates

Well UK, have the day you voted for I guess

Microsoft is counting on that

EDIT: could they just make this part of the install process? Could they make it like a thing that runs on first boot, if you can only do it from within the kernel/boot loader that is to be authorized?

Is there no way to get it to run on ARM systems? Are none of them powerful enough to be useful without being Macs?

I love the trigger locks for Switch 2 use as well. It’s nice to have a controller I can go between both systems with.

Ultimate 2 wireless I use with 2.4Ghz through the docking station. It works well but it was annoying that the back paddles and L4/R4 buttons (secondary bumpers) could only be mapped as another button, instead of being their own function. It will be nice to have the extra buttons if that is what’s working now. I had the beta firmware on them but steam still did not recognize them yet (but the beta firmware did allow Switch 2 to recognize them!)

Self hosting a password manager is great, but be sure to read up on keeping it secure, and don’t store anything important in it until you have working, tested backup solution. And re-test it frequently in a non-destructive way.

If you lose your password storage to a disk failure or something, you’re gonna be hurting for a while.
