I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. According to your own quoted numbers:
combined GDP of all NATO members +Sweden = $45.93319 trillion
total GDP of only the five initial BRICS member states = $65 trillion
So you compare NATO+ with only a part of current BRICS and it’s still less.
It’s like me boycotting Nestlé.
When Europe and the US put sanctions on China and Russia, there’s an obvious problem, though:
BRICS countries now have a higher GDP than NATO.
GIMP 3.0 will come with the next Debian release.
When will that come out?
When it’s ready.
You can get a bit of an idea where in the release process we are by looking at this graph:
Where the green and blue lines dip close to zero, there was a new release.
Next release is probably planned for October 2025.
Between releases, packages are only updated when it’s relevant for security or to fix bugs.
Thunderbird and Firefox are a bit of an exception. Those programs are so complex that backporting security fixes to the current Debian version isn’t feasible. So Debian is forced to ship the new version when security issues in the current version become known.
And they’re also not needed on servers, so the reduced stability doesn’t affect them.
They completely focus on large enterprises now.
Everyone who uses Fusion or Workstation productively is too small for them.
Disconnect the PC from the internet.
It’s also the only way to safely run a computer without updates.
If he had stolen $200M in workers’ wages instead, he’d be lauded as a successful entrepreneur.
oh fuck I can’t stop laughing
The instance I first chose straight up disappeared, so yeah. It wasn’t an easy migration.
We have an app running on CentOS 6. The vendor of the app informed us they expect to have a new version that can run on RHEL 8 by the end of the year - 2025.
“Unlimited PTO” is a meaningless term, and a trap.
I have 42 days of PTO per year, plus 13 state holidays.
I have a right to take those days off, they can’t be denied by anyone.
And if I don’t take them, my team lead will have a talk with me in October at the latest, because the company would get in legal trouble if I didn’t get them.
With “unlimited PTO” you have no such right to any amount of PTO.
Sure, you could try to schedule lots of PTO, but it can just be denied (“not possible right now”), or if you take too many, you’re just fired.
In an enterprise environment, you rely on a service that tracks CVEs, analyzes which ones apply to your environment, and prioritizes security critical updates.
The issue here is that one of these services installed a release upgrade because Microsoft mislabelled it as security update.
I switched from an MSP to a unionized in-house position, doubled my salary and my days of paid time off.
yes, but we spend most of our time in meetings with cloud service vendors now.
I haven’t been inside the server room for a month.
They labelled an OS version upgrade as a security update.
Microsoft will rename it, add something else in its place but let the old things linger in a zombie-like state.
Lost count of how many separate Skype/Zoom apps there are now.
7 was the version if you only counted the “best ofs” Windows 3, 95, XP, Vista, 7.
There is one (Neonmodem), and it seems to work for some, but it never showed any posts when I tried it, and I tried it on several different distros, client versions, Lemmy accounts and home instances.
Yeah, numbers from 2012 are useless. Chinas GDP has more than doubled since then.
