I completely understand. I’d be skeptical too had I not seen it firsthand

I’m also an it technician with over a decade of experience, and I’ve seen this first hand, on multiple occasions.

I agree PICNIC is the goto in this scenario; it’s not like shutdown commands are new, so why would it not work as intended? it was my initial assumption when faced with these reports; but having seen this occur multiple times, I can confirm it isn’t. My running theory is it’s KB related, as the issue is intermittent by device (though consistent with an affected device… as in the device will exhibit this behaviour every time). It’s also unique to windows 11.

Some of my favourite UK towns/villages etc:

• cockfosters.
• petts wood.
• fingringhoe.
• bitchfield.
• shitterton.
• Twatt.

GP is a good shout. I see this issue occur intermittently at work; and whilst I haven’t checked our GPOs recently; I’m fairly certain the incident is intermittent amongst machines running the same policies (IE: a finance dept of 50 machines may see 10 exhibit this behaviour).

I’ve also seen it occur on home PCs. The only constant trait among them that I can determine is the OS (always 11). I just assumed it was introduced by some KB somewhere down the line or something like that.

“this has never happened to me, therefore this can’t happen”

Well, they have a point.

I feel like seagulls are the perfect method for ad delivery

They should’ve known; it’s not like he was called McGruff the good dog.

It probably depends on how you quantify the input.

If it’s by volume, I’d agree that it’s probably cows or pigs. But if it’s by individual animal, it might be something smaller like chickens.

A lot of male chicks become pet food shortly after birth, which is what I think would skew the numbers.

They do have Linux foundation Europe, which has a hq in Brussels. Afaik, all of the Europe OS projects supported by LFE are hosted in Europe also. They also claim to be independent; though I’m not sure if that means from LF entirely. Checking the job boards show roles in California and Germany however; suggesting they are the same entity. (Though I suppose that could just be collaborative?).

The very nature of open source means someone else could just pick it up even if the entirety of LF were wiped out. (There are 5000+ collaborators on the Linux kernel git repo) But the reality is a large portion of those actively working on the kernel, are likely involved in LF in some capacity. Add the fact that LF fund multiple Open source projects, The impact of losing LF would be drastic for the future development of not just Linux, But the FOSS ecosystem as a whole.

This isn’t the only threat to FOSS either; The fact that GitHub is owned by Microsoft is a concern imo.

This is what jack Dorsey and Elon Musk were really referring to.

‘Could’ specifies a possibility of an event occurring, as opposed to no possibility.

For example, I could have rice for dinner, however there is no way I could jump to the moon.

When applied to the context of this conversation:

A person born in the 90s could have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s. A person born in the 50s could not have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s.

Could is only vague in the scope of probability; this is because it’s a confirmation of the possibility, rather than a defined probability.
