You can label it as a trendy new tech term, but it is the age old yes-manism that I have watched eat up tech executives and CEOs that I have worked with.

The real work of software engineering isn't the coding. That is like saying that being a doctor is all about reading health charts. Planning, designing, testing and maintaining software is the hard part, and it is often much more political than it is a technical challenge. I'm not worried about getting replaced by AI. In fact, LLMs ability to generate high volumes of code only makes the skills to understand it to be more in demand.

Wow, what a normal reaction.

Should probably just filter them out by default, and then have a sort by funny or something.

Really normal behavior, nothing to see here.

That's only when it comes to advertising and messaging. Once you start bringing up actual government processes like registering to vote and polling location information it gets interesting. Lying about the voter registration process for instance, which this seems close to.

Oh boy, this has got to be an FEC violation.

Game mode doesn't have a browser. I would be interested to find out of the steamdeck sales almost directly correlate to this increase. Not that I am complaining, it's a great way to use a linux desktop experience. I didn't really read how these numbers were measured.

The other explanation I could think of is that linux desktop is being adopted widely in India. I don't think that government's adopting linux desktop accounts for a significant portion of the machines.

Are steamdecks getting counted in this?

That also helps linux. Tried watching something on someone else's peacock account logged into Linux, and got an error. Checked Google to see if it was available. A free site had it, in better quality streaming too! We ended up using her computer, but I was kind of amazed.

Hey, that robotics nerd was me! I hung out with the book nerds on senior skip day, they were pretty cool.

What are you talking about? I can't find anything to back this up, but I am curious. Their about page claims they are funded by patreon donations, and doesn't mention cloudflare anywhere.

Is it just that they use cloudflare services for traffic control, or they host on cloudflare? Especially if it is the former, that is pretty inane.
