Ah, so AI will kill off humanity. Not with a terminator but as a sex chat bot, leaving people unable to interact normally with other humans. No more human children!

I'm using a 49" monitor and dividing it up in virtual X11 monitors/screens for flexibility. Running a tiling window manager with lots of virtual desktops, but with fullscreen support separate monitors are still needed. Wayland are still missing the support for dividing up the display, which is probably the last thing keeping me on X11.
Phew, looks good on the news with the packaging bug (if they didn't just got cold feet for worse PR/backlash than they expected and this is a backtracking).
In this case, hopefully Garcia is employed for his expertise and can be deployed to further open source relations :)
I'm running a couple of Vaultwarden instances, and it would be really nice if Bitwarden employed Garcia to improve the Rust backend. But as the bitter cynic I am, I guess it is an effort to shut down and control as much of the open source use of Bitwarden as possible.
The worst case, someone will most likely fork Vaultwarden and we can still access it with Keyguard on mobile and the excellent Vaultwarden web interface :)
Daniel García, owner of the Vaultwarden repo, has recently taken employment for Bitwarden.
The plot thickens.

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.
Then they didn't even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).
Their website was horrible, and their support wasn't better.
LetsEncrypt though hasn't failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.
First thing I do on a new laptop is remapping a key I won't be using much to Insert, which I use all the time :)
What if they DIDN'T have a chip in the ink cartridge, and just used it as a container that could be refilled and used in every printer they made? No hacking the cartridge then.
No, that's crazy talk!
Big bucks for big trucks?
In Sweden we have had a version of self checkout for 20 years in the largest stores, and here it seems to work fine.
Instead of having to scan everything at a station, each product is scanned with a handscanner when walking through the store, and put directly into shopping bags. Then only the payment and possibly a randomly occuring verification is left before leaving the store.
The random testing is usually just an employee scanning three to five items from your bags, and occurs like once every four months (as long as you're not actually stealing and caught).

This kind of reminds of the BlackDog: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackDog
It was a small computer that easily fit in a pocket and only had a single USB port. That was connected to a computer which powered it, and it connected as a virtual CD-ROM drive.
On that was an xming X11 server. The BlackDog ran your applications outputted through it. The applications it ran could also access the Internet through the host computer.
