It feels to me like these measure are not up to the host country to negotiate? i.e. the ICC participatory countries would have to decide on this?

In any case, I haven’t seen this in Dutch news yet.

In other words: at any given time, only one of [sandbox or renderer patches] needed to compromise the browser would be available in the patch gap

That’s clever.

I thought we were the last country to have Mink farming in EU, but unfortunately Poland still has it:

IIRC the ban in the Netherlands was triggered by the ban in Denmark, so we’ve got you to thank for that.

For now, the on-premises email/calendar environment will still use Microsoft software, including Outlook. The open-source portion concerns personal storage and collaboration, not a wholesale replacement of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or the entire desktop environment.

An improvement, but it’s not a move off of Microsoft, FWIW.

Aren’t there better alternatives to both snus and cigarettes? Seems like a fine reason.

Perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, but no need to let mediocre be the enemy of good either.

Hehe I suppose I did.

And like Scotland and Wales, it’s sometimes described as a country that’s part of the UK.

How far up your list of problems can that possibly be?

And also of the Singularity desktop environment, and behind cpak and Vanilla OS. Even with AI I don’t see where he gets the time and relevant knowledge, and I really wonder how buggy these are. I haven’t tried them though, and Bottles seems stable enough.

Otherwise we would have noticed adverse effects sooner. If you have to go looking it’s probably not that bad

I’m not sure if asbestos would agree…

I read that comment before I read the article, and it reads quite differently seeing that that excludes this start of the sentence:

I also know when

i.e. I take that as the literal opposite: they can predict and avoid that situation.

Well, good news!

Who knows! If it’s a stepping stone, then actual growth would trail it.

Yeah exactly, we can only speculate, rather than claiming definitively that it’s one or the other.

(I do think that, if Linux was the more popular option, and folks would notice that most of the things they’re running under Wine, that would remove one reason for them not to switch to Windows. But yes, it will also be reason for others to stay on Linux.)

Growing on Windows 11 is not helping promote freedom from proprietary software

I mean, it might. It could very well be a stepping stone to full Linux.
