I'm very hopeful to see Larry loose everything, and Oracle stripped for parts. Karma that is well overdue.

I've always found Zorin to be windows-like enough to transition people to. It has it's own visual identity, and isn't trying to be a simulacrum of windows - making it much more enjoyable to use.

I likely unfairly judge (at a high-level) code security based on how much system resources applications waste. If your app, or OS uses that much resource to perform simple operations then you clearly lack understanding of what the code is doing. How then can I expect it to be secure?

There's no Apple Store in my country, but I travel regularly for work. About a year ago I was in Sydney Australia and took the opportunity to visit one of their Apple Stores to try the Vision Pro.

Having experienced other AR/VR products I was interested to see how Apples general 'refinement' of this product area worked out.

I admit, I had low expectations; and probably for the best, because nothing could've prepared me for what I experienced.

Given this was a gen1 product, I was blown away by how seamless and 'complete' the experience was. There was a few obvious places for refinement like battery-life, weight and the screen. But the immersive experience was incredibly convincing, compelling and even relaxing. The price point clearly needs to come down, and I suspect the technology was a little ahead of its time. But I can see in 5-10 years after continuous iteration and improvement that this product will be something else.

Doing the lords work

I no longer hold the belief that The West is moral or good-faith actor. In my lifetime I've watch the state go from being relatively benign, to maintaining face, to all-out racket, corruption and anti-democratic behaviour. I sympathise with both left-wing and right-wing sentiment. The system no longer works by-and-for the people. Call it elite capture, call it communism. My view is we're dealing with a Janus-like system.

I sold my Unifi APs, they broke DHCP over wifi multiple times. If you can't QA/Test basic 101 features like that, I have zero trust in your security.

The world is really at a threshold where it's become openly obvious that technology is not working for the majority of humanity, but a small cabal.

Has anyone told them Windows isn't a feature?

UK created Israel with Balfour declaration out of mandatory Palestine. British Zionism has been a leading creator in this debacle for years. UK military / intelligence has been aiding Israel in its wars for a long time. This is fundamentally an Israeli war, with its military liability offloaded to USA and worn by the global economy.

The modern geopolitical Middle East is a creation/construct of UK & France (Sykes-Picot Agreement) post WW1.

I see the Middle East and Israel as a European project, with the enforcement component (liability) sitting on the US balance sheet. There seems to be growing recognition of this, hence the shifting strategy where US is exiting Europe/NATIO. US position in the Middle East becoming financially and geopolitically untenable - the Iranian damage-to/destruction-of M/E bases will be too costly to rebuilt.

Israel (as per recent Bibi 60minutes interview) is looking to financially detach from the US for support.

Europe has a major energy crisis evolving and limited options for diversity. LNG imports from USA are not financially or geopolitically viable. They cut themselves off from Russian gas, and the Russian state is publicly signalling they're unwilling to supply them and the M/E is on fire.

Even if the war were to end today, the structural damage to the artificial western-made Middle Eastern royal fiefdoms is over.

Europe will shoulder much of the burden created by this conflict.

A disaster from the first step.
