France has ditched Windows 11 for Linux on 2.5 million government PCs

Reply in thread

The source article from ZDNet they got the information from has been updated to correct the mistake.

Correction on April 16, 2026: An earlier version of this article stated that France was planning to replace 2.5 million Windows desktops with Linux. In fact, the Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs is initially migrating only its own internal workstations (about 350) and will coordinate a broader effort. Individual ministries have been instructed to develop their own migration plans by fall 2026. The article has been updated to reflect this clarification.

Google fired an employee who protested its contract with the Israeli military

Legally speaking, Google is aiding surveillance which itself is questionable, of a foreign population whose colonisation is internationally declared as illegal.

The slide visible on the video also indicates the use of AI in their solution which they KNOW is being used in the war.

Legally and ethically we are absolutely not in a gray area, it is quite clear that Google is knowingly participating in something illegal and unethical.

root (or sudo) access delay instead of password

Reply in thread

In terms of security, an alias can be easily overridden by a user who can even choose yo use another shell which will not read .bashrc.

So this solution cannot force/require the user to comply to the delay requirement.

I was thinking maybe with a PAM module the delay can be achieved but I haven't found one that readily does that. Maybe OP needs to implement one :)
