The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can now run systemd inside of your WSL distros, empowering you to do more with your Linux workflows on your Windows machine. I'm assuming this is a good thing? (or at least a thing?)

Except the fine print reads:
Quote: First make sure you have these pre-requisites:
- Are using a Windows 11 build or higher
No Microsoft, I'm not updating my machines to Windows 11.
Because you won't let me.

With all eyes on Windows 11 and its first feature update, now available for download, you would be excused for thinking that Windows 10 is now a thing of the past. You thought you were safe, did you?

That's because real world use cases are interfacing with C/C++ APIs or trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of code in a hot loop.
Any examples of either would also be one or more of: Trivial, Contrived for the sake of demonstrating the feature, or Opaque to 99.9% of readers.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Nostalgia... circa 1974 a colleague of mine celebrated the arrival of CRT terminals with a whole 96 character set by creating a byte-oriented character.
//
oo /

/\/\ The cute thing was the terminals had an underscore cursor that blinked alternately with the character, so you could make him wag his tail.

Few fields invite as much unbridled hype as quantum computing. Why is the hype pile so much bigger?

Quote: As far back as 2017, vendors were claiming the commercialization of the technology was just a couple of years away—like the announcement of a 5,000-qubit system by 2020 (which didn’t happen). There was even what I’d call antihype, with some questioning if quantum computers would materialize at all (I hope they end up being wrong). With such strongly convincing wording, I'm sold! Where can I buy a system?

The project openwebsearch.eu will create an open European infrastructure for internet search, based on European values and jurisdiction. Read about it now, because it's probably the last you'll hear of it
Probably a knee-jerk reaction on my point, but does "based on European values and jurisdiction" creep anyone else out?

It doesn't really creep me out, but I don't think it will be that successful because it will only address 10% of the internet (and that being lucky)

What is the definition of "European values"?
And if the fact that I can't open a single web site regardless of where it is hosted without it popping up those elephanting "accept my cookies" box is any indication, I'd say we're already at the mercy of European (Union) jurisdiction. (And if I accept your cookies once, can't you use that cookie to store my answer so you don't ask me Every. Single. Effing. Time?!?)
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Or better yet, track my IP address and if I don't accept your cookies honor that every single time. I "love" the sites that try to get me to accept third party tracking cookies every time.

I don't wish to stray into politics but as a European (geographically at least) I consider it nauseatingly arrogant and presumptuous.
