I'm seeing at least one job showing up that way on the Github website that has already completed (on a self hosted runner, which is how I can tell).

> that server is almost certainly going to be a VM and not bare metal

I understand that this is normal but I've never understood it.

If all the containers are running the same company's applications (so they don't care about security boundaries between them), what's the difference between having all the containers under the same kernel vs separate kernels?

> Remember how when google bought youtube for 1.65 billions people thought they are crazy? Or when facebook bought instagram.

I think these are good examples: in both of those cases the buyer had a plan to monetize.

If you are a user of Cursor, expect to pay more for it or switch.

This is partly due to having a safety factor: i.e. using twice as much steel as you think you need.

Linux is a global project, and open source more broadly is also of course global.

Linux Mint (the distro I use) was started and is led by French developer Clement Lefebvre.

QEMU and FFmpeg are among the notable projects started by French developer Fabrice Bellard.

VLC was started by students of École Centrale Paris.

These are just the things that I know about as an American, so I'm sure there are more.

Does anyone here know the current state of installing a browser on ReactOS?

It kind of makes sense for it to be a partnership with Back Market, which also sells used hardware.

That way, the ChromeOS USB key can be an add on to the purchase of some old laptop that can barely run Windows anymore.
