In the case of France, the vulnerability was announced in August, 2025.

I believe gigantic fines are appropriate. They need to be of a size where the entire management team has significant financial issues for many years to come, even after having sold their houses, big cars, etc.

Nothing will improve until there are personal consequences.

Is that how you'd like someone to respond if one of yours passed away from preventable situations?

Most nursing homes are barely staffed to handle basic hygiene. They don't have the resources to manage days of an entire building crossing a healthy temperature range.

I make credit card payments from Linux Mint and OpenBSD regularly.

Then why are we today seeing headlines like 'AI agent deleted our TV show' instead of people taking accountability?

The headline should be 'Executives cause 100 days worth of TV production re-work'.

> It is kind of shocking to me how TUIs are enjoying a bit of dev tool renaissance right now

For me, it's because I can SSH from my wimpy laptop to systems with hundreds of CPU cores and TBs of RAM - and use the same tools and workflows that I am used to.

> Not sure GDPR applies to apps though.

GDPR applies to we the people and the organizations who hold our data. Doesn't matter if it's morse code on paper strips.

If we can dictate warnings on tobacco packages, we can dictate the wording on consent banners to not be "We care about your privacy" but instead "We want to track you for profit".

If browsers were slightly better at asking users, maybe we'd all have our three favourite fonts and background-, text- and link-colours instead of what someone else prefers we stare at all day.

Oh, you have nothing to hide? Kindly paste all your payment and login credentials that your browser stores. Later we'll need to see all your DMs on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, etc.

Finally we'll want to know about disputes you've had with intimate partners, employers and other service providers, especially powerful ones like healthcare, insurance and financial organisations.

> It’s a short, specific puzzle. I’d love to know if you think the "Correct" path I designed matches your real-world experience, or if I’m off base.

As someone about to step into a C-suite role: I picked the "correct" path and as long as people are reasonable, it works well.

Many experiments have shown that when you take away people's concerns about money for housing and food, that frees up energy and attention to do other things.

Like the famous experiment in Finland where homeless people were given cash with no strings attached and most were able to rise out of their despair. The healthcare professionals could then focus their energy on the harder cases. It also saved a bunch of money in the process.

> for this price you can get a really nice N100/N150 laptop with a full HD IPS screen

Can you think of a name or model by any chance?
