I don't think this is the win we want. Sounds like palwprld change the game to no longer infringe on Nintendo copyright claims. So Nintendo can no longer seek an injunction. They are still seeking damages.

I really want to see the copyright claims be challenged in court so we know where we stand. Rather then the continual settling out of court because Nintendo has more money.

It doesn't sound like Nintendo are on track to win or lose this. Just Palworld changed the game to limit the impact of the lawsuit. Which is in a way a small win for Nintendo.

One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user's traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.

Somehow I don't believe that last part 🤔

It is not just about your pc hardware. I much prefer running the latest software on it as I regularly use features from tools added in the last version of something. I would hate to have to wait 6 months to a year to be able to use new features that make my life easier. That might not be every bit of software I use but enough core things that I would notice.

Not if you have backed up your data. You have a backup of your data right?

Secureboot is meant to help protect you against the evil maid attack. IE someone with physical access to your computer can compromise your boot loader with a keylogger that can capture your encryption password so that when they return they can gain access to your computer as they now know your password. Though the vast majority of people just don't need to worry about that level of attack so I have never really bothered with secureboot.

uptime of 840 days

This always makes me wince. I don't think high uptimes should be celebrated. Has your kernel ever been patched or the services running restarted? Just installing the updates is not enough to secure your system you need to be running that new code as well.

Also, I get very nervous about touching those systems. You have no clue what state it is in. I have seen far too many large uptime server have their power go some day and are never able to boot again or don't boot all the services back up as someone forgot to enable the service.

Nop, rather see them rebooted regularly at a non critical time so we know they will come back up. Or even better have a HA setup.

Probably a good sign it is doing something useful if YouTube thinks it is an adblocker.

No. So many things are miss represented in movies and TV or skipped entirely in the name of entertainment.

Yelp is a business engaging in shady tactics. So how can I ever trust anything they create.

Linux is ready for workplaces and has been for a very very long time. That is irrelevant if workplace IT support is not ready for Linux and has no budget or time to get ready for it. All your points are meaningless and have never been the problem. The problem is with management, policies and getting in house support for things and all the work involved in that. Depending on the size of the company it can take a lot of time effort and money to retrain IT staff to support Linux. And IT staff are already overworked, under-budgeted and don't always have the time to support extra things.

Nah, why would they try to charge for something no one uses?

What explains this sudden growth and the sudden decline of Linux in Ukraine?

Do we even know that there was a sudden growth or decline of Linux? This is a percentage graph. It is not very useful without also knowing the total number of users over that time. Could be that a massive amount of users stopped over that time, but for what ever reason fewer using Linux did than Windows did. Or if there was a massive increase it could be from bots or similar attacks. These graphs are very hard to draw any conclusions from due to what they are and how they were collected (which I believe is basically what user agents report on some websites) without a lot more other information. All we really know is that the market share for webtraffic started reporting more Linux based user agent strings (or what ever they use to tell) in relation to windows ones for a time before normalising again.
