German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating in c/linux

found this update from 1 month ago:

what the actual amount of progress is seems to be buried under bureaucracy-speak but I got 3 useful sentences out of it so far:

Configuration via group policies

MS Office can remain installed in parallel, until October 2025

Goals for october 2025: LibreOffice should be the sole standard office software on around 70% of the state administration's IT workstations

so to me it seems they're currently slowly doing a MS office -> LibreOffice transfer, but they're still all using windows (as the use of "group policy" implies)

Some dark urge found me skim-reading a recent AI doomer blog post. I was startled awake by this most unsettling passage:

My wife wrote a letter to our infant daughter recently. It concluded:

I don’t know that we can offer you a good world, or even one that will be around for all that much longer. But I hope we can offer you a good childhood. [...]

Though the theoretical possibility had always been percolating somewhere in the back of my mind, it wasn't until now that I viscerally realized that P(doomers reproducing) was greater than zero. And with other doomers no less.

Left brooding on this development, I drudged along until-
BAhahaha what the fuck
I can't. This is beyond parody.

Completely lost it here. Nothing could have prepared me for the poorly handwritten wrist tattoo.

Creating space for miracles
Doom feels really likely to me. [...] But who knows, perhaps one of my assumptions is wrong. Perhaps there's some luck better than humanity deserves. If this happens to be the case, I want to be in a position to make use of it.

Oh how rational! Willing to entertain the idea that maybe, theoretically, the doomsday prediction could be off by a few days?

I'm not sure that I ever strongly felt that I would die at eighty or so. I had a religious youth and believed in an immortal soul. Even when I came out of that, I quickly believed in the potential of radical transhuman life extension.

This guy thought he was getting clean but he was actually replacing weed with heroin
I really convinced myself that "doomsday cult" was hyperbole but uhh, nope, it's 107% real.

you can also 'trivially' derive the quadratic formula using completing the square, but does anybody actually do that instead of just memorizing the formula?

it's actually about testing your ability and willingness to jump through hoops that serve no discernible purpose, one of the most vital skills for working within 99% of human organizations

Mutable default values are shared across objects. The set in this case.
