100% supportive of this type of product but I also find the ai-slop text to be a bit ironic.
Everyone who currently has a carryover balance is getting paid out, so I don't see how that would help costs during a layoff unless that layoff is 6+ months out.

Personally I carry a balance of close to 4 weeks (my current max accrual) as an extra cushion for job-changes or a rainy day and they will pay me out for it. I'll stick that in my emergency fund and it will serve the same function.

"Just family reunification"

Also a good thing in and of itself.

Japan has had issues with finding workers to support their elderly population. No, it isn't a bad place. But yes, there are issues to solve that come with an aging population and a shrinking population.
This is just... wrong? We want smart people here in the US. We should poach them and entice them to come here by all reasonable measures.

Plus, people aren't having kids like they used to. So you need to replace population somehow. See also: Japan.

Windows signing isn't centrally managed through Microsoft, which is an important distinction I think.

A feature flag. You're describing feature flags.
As it fucking should. Don't carry a gun openly. That's just sociopathic behavior.
Jesus dude. Just the "junkies" comment shows that you aren't even open to a different approach.

It's not a big deal for consumers. It's a huge deal for STEM departments in universities (a software upgrade for a hundred-thousand dollar machine can sometimes be thousands of dollars).

Which is super unfortunate considering it is an artificial limitation.

Really? My XPS 15 gets 4 hours easy and it is usually closer to 6.

Also it actually supports 3 (!) 4k displays at 60hz if you include the built in screen. With the TB16 dock it is a joy to use.

Packages.microsoft.com is reachable over https. There is also a gpg key that can be imported. The person who put this image together chose not to use either.

I know it has been an acronym in those circles. However, it's a rather unintelligent and unprofessional way to articulate dislike. It requires no thought to type out M$ and a lot of thought to articulate a cogent argument against Microsoft. I'd say that it is even harder now then it was 20 years ago... as microsoft is doing a lot of things right.

That's why I downvoted...
