Do you really think the Chinese have not dealt with bad workplace conditions? The US population may be jealous of some of their neighbors but they have significantly better working conditions than most Chinese.
From 996 from Alibaba to the swaths of cheap, manual labor used for outsourcing by, among others, the US.
Given that rights about ones likeness (Personality rights) are somewhat defined there might be a legitimate usecase here. For example, a user might prefer a TTS with the voice of a familiar presenter from TV over a generic voice.
But it sounds exceedingly easy to abuse (similar to other generative AI applications) in order to exploit end-users (social engineering) and voice "providers" (exploitation of personality rights).
You generally still also have to abide by license obligations for OSS too, e. G., GPL.
To be specific for the exampls, Nvidia has historically been quite restrictive (only on approval) here. Firmware has only recently been opened up a bit and drivers continue to be an issue iirc.
An "issue" is that Docker these days mostly builds on open standards and has well documented APIs. Open infrastructure like this has only limited vendor lock-in.
Building a docker daemon compatible service is not trivial but was already mostly done with podman. It is compatible to the extent that the official docker cli mostly works with it oob (having implemented the basic Docker HTTP API endpoints too). AWS/GCP could almost certainly afford to build a "podman" too, instead of licensing Docked.
This is not meant to defend the hyperscalers themselves but should maybe out approaches like this in perspective. Docker got among other things large because it was free, monetizing after that is hard (see also Elasticsearch/Redis and the immediate forks).
Are you maybe switching that up with alacritty? Kitty has built-in tabs and they work quite well.

One the one hand this is a serious concern for U.S. officials on the other hand any modern weapon (guns, etc.) can cause career-ending injuries too. The covert operation is certainly an interesting feature though.
They may be partnering with them but support for competitve titles is rather limited. For example, the most prominent Battleye title (iirc), Rainbow Six Siege, is not support on Linux via Steam due to Battleye blocking it. Valorant, LoL, BF6 or CoD also don't work ime.
Also has the nice side-effect of avoiding MSN news on Windows.
Jobs that are "low effort" are rare, usually you need one of:
- time: job is time consuming (think monitoring cameras for N hours a day)
- physical: job requires physical work (think sorting boxes in a warehouse or janitorial work)
- skilled: job requires certification/skill (think electrician or engineering)
- social: job requires interacting with humans (think customer support or sales)
Depending on you skillset/preferences select one or two and search for vocations/jobs. Jobs usually have a mix of them (and there are likely some more categories). Jobs always require effort, that's why people are paying for it. If you want to reduce time look for "part time" jobs.
If you are fine with mid-low pay, take a look at jobs in public institutions (Education, Government). They tend to have rather good long term working conditions and are commonly open to people changing careers into public service.
The primary difference is that many expect on-site and they pay is generally not US-startup scale.
Many companies also expect you to at least have some knowledge of their local language (e. G., German, Spanish or Polnish) and not just English. One has to adapt to be competitive here.
A system that has neither a store nor the config (container image) not easily reconstructable as you miss too much metadata.
Having a local backup user is a viable backup path then. If you wire up pam enough you can even use MFA for local login.
To be fair at least Lenovo and to some extent dell also offer this for individual customers.
It usually is not an option on the latest processors for premium models though as soldered RAM becomes more prevalent there. A minor problem of the author might be that they are looking at the relatively high tier models, which ime have less options for "saving" money, while something like a thinkpad e14 might also have been a good candidate instead.
After two weeks of back and forth the wireguard packets were still being discarded somewhere by a firewall/router thanks to "deny VPNs by default". Tailscale got through those immediately though by using their relays + one of the workarounds for standard wireguard ports being blocked. Point being, the service provided by a mature solution like Tailscale for punching through networks is surprisingly effective even for corporate-level networks.
To be fair, some tools only support a netrc file for http(s) based auth. Regardless, if you want to use git via http this vector exists almost always.
To be fair, they have wrenches thrown in their way there as many ECUs and other computer-driven components are fairly locked down and undocumented. Especially as the programming software itself is not often freely distributed (only for approved shops/dealers).
Witcher 1/2 at least also worked OOB via steam.

Could probably be all done with CSS but wasn't done for a long time
