Considering how much money a salary is, it's easy to see how 30/40€ of license (or whatever that is) is a negiglible sum to save on potentially enormous legal troubles.

Also, depending how big the company is, automatic installation and deployment systems might be in place, and changing that also has a cost.

That's exactly how it feels: a more modern and more powerful notepad++, with lots of syntax support and easier to add new languages (even better than code in my opinion). Code seems to try and be an ide for everything, but if I'm doing a complex project, I'll be getting a specific ide, for everything else a good text editor and a Makefil is all I need

Microsoft website does this (especially their useless answer), I guess it's malice

I think they are dependant, but they don't want to be brought down to mud. That's why they try everything to not actively participating in the conflict, limiting to let russian troops pass trought but bot sending belarusian troops. If they attacked, the people would burn Lukaschenko alive

Why no shoes? Is it really effective to cover your body in metal and wear sandals with socks?

That's why we need to fight against chromium monopoly

Somehow I never though that slag floats on molten metal and it's enough to puncture the bottom to get clean metal. We are used to believe that people in the past were stupid and uncultured, but it's obvious they were equally intelligent and smart.

aoe2 works fine under wine, but the definitive edition does not. In my opinion proton pretty much almost works better for games than simple wine

Fallout 3, but especially New Vegas have great stories and hundreds of hours of gameplay, and work fenomenally on proton (I mean, they are equally buggy as in other versions). Fallout 4 is good as well, but I have never tested it on linux

Unfortunately last time I checked, aoe2:de does not run on Proton (but aoe2:hd does), maybe things changed

Laminated paper qr codes for long-term storage could last centuries, possibly much more than an hard drive or a flash drive. That would probably outlive any computer it couls be used on, but it's an interesting solution.
