MS will erect another campus and things will go back to "normal". Hopefully this will last at this time...

Good documentary about MS hold over German government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaYLW7LQvg

The only private payment method is cash.

Thanks for the video link. Very interesting. This is how all computers will be built eventually. So seize the means of computation until we can...

Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it's all done.

You could try destination NAT with netfilter/iptables (DNAT) and terminate TLS on your home server.

This way packets will be forwarded to the home server without beign decrypted on the VSP.

Torvalds added that Rust isn't that terrible in the end; "it's not Perl".

LOL

Any form of surveillance used by any government will be used primarily for political reasons, against non-criminals. There is no such thing as Good Spyware.

BTW: Google does the same for Andorid (get your data dump and see for yourself) - every application start and stop is recorded, metadata from your e-mail, etc...;

NOT surveillance, this is to help optimize technology use. /s

This is just "telemetry". We have that in all Windows (including server) for years now... nothing to worry. This is NOT surveillance. /s

Performance metrics generally put Rust squarely ahead of Go, but not by a lot.

10x, 4x and 3x performance difference is not "but not by a lot", it is al lot! :D Imagine needing 1 server vs 10 servers to run same app. Same for memory.

Can people stop contradicting themselves when comparing X with Rust just to make X look less horrible, please!

Yeah, until someone looks at their "security" :D

"3 billion" devices with multiple vulnerabilities that sound like RCE via things like video playback with "fixing them requires a long chain of communication between many vendors, manufacturers and resellers" sounds like a total disaster to me. Many (most?) Android phones in use will never see an update!
