I saw RT was already speculating/fearmongering about France giving Ukraine secret nuke components. This all seems like it could get quite bad.

Horrible.

In UK, was redirected to russia today. Cannot recall which domain(s).

Tax breaks, operations of state owned industry, other incentives etc are guided by five year plans implemented by a party bureaucracy.

If the size of state and bureaucratisation are the main issues, one wonders how China got so far :-)

I know enough about Unix that shipping an outdated binary in the base system is entirely unsurprising :-)

macOS switched to zsh a while ago. i don’t see what that minor choice has to do with being or not being UNIX.

OpenAI aren’t using their cloud directly, but have signed data center partnerships with them that are effectively huge amounts of debt not backed up with revenue. That’s all liability that Google doesn’t really have because they have revenue from other areas.

don’t forget oracle!

> vying with Microsoft for the “worst maintainer of links on the entire Web” trophy

Anybody who has tried to read Microsoft’s dev blogs know they’ve earned that trophy. Raymond Chen’s articles are excellent, but go back a few years and every single link is broken. They’re using WordPress at the moment but don’t use slugs and never bothered to rewrite old URLs from whatever they used to use.

As an aside, I also worry that a software company can’t make a working cookie banner for WordPress.

The Expanding What We Measure section was very nice to see. Thank god somebody is attempting to measure more qualitative metrics like the experience of contributing rather than annoying people into clicking around more.

hilarious project, an awkward omegle chat with a dead pedophile

They would want to learn Winforms/WPF/WinUI/whatever if microsoft could settle on one and use it. I suppose part of the react native stuff is that Microsoft hasn’t done a good job of making people, even in Microsoft, bet the farm on any of their “native” toolkits.
