If you're doing a good job, though, why would you want to resign?

And if, for reasons beyond their control, the stock price is going to fall (e.g. new international tariffs or something), why should they be handcuffed to that decrease in value?

It's not, but it gets clicks.

If anything, vxworks is the secret one. Huge numbers of embedded devices run vxworks, but the only people who work with it are embedded systems developers.

There's nothing to this individual sale, it's just "CEO bad". Given that apparently he's had a bunch of sales planned for a while, it suggests he thinks the share price isn't going to increase over that time.

Because stock you can't sell is worthless.

How is this tech-related?

Agreed. I subscribed here for "technology news and articles", as per the community description.

Though strictly speaking, business decisions aren't technology news, even if it's a software company.

I'd be surprised if they aren't already. Facebook is already implementing ActivityPub in Threads.

Yeah. The man was a piece of shit in several ways, but he was also good at what he did.

Yeah I think so, but they've stopped providing security updates for it.

Raymond Chen is an excellent writer. He takes topics that are otherwise dry and technical, and makes them interesting and readable for your average person. He's got decades of posts about Windows stuff.

As long as we're nitpicking, in English, we only use the upper quotation marks, e.g. "you're".

sites will have to verify the age of visitors, either by asking for government-issued documents or using biometric data, such as face scans, to estimate their age

Yeah, most sites are just going to block UK users. Dealing with personal data like that is a nightmare.

Yeah but if they're not cooperating it's worth it.

I bought a used cell phone from an ebay reseller who claimed a one-year warranty. Within that time, it broke, so I put in for a warranty claim. They said sure, here's your shipping label, we'll send you a refund or replacement. Time goes by, no refund or replacement, no reply to further messages. I contact ebay support and they tell me to do a chargeback. So I do. Bank wants some documentation, I provide everything, they put it through, I get the refund, and no account closure from ebay.

It's not, but the top mod also runs a bot that automatically posts content from various news sites, probably based on keywords. And I'd bet that some of those keywords are Twitter and Facebook. So don't expect them to follow their own rules.

tech·nol·o·gy
/tekˈnäləjē/
noun

• the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. "advances in computer technology"
• machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. "it will reduce the industry's ability to spend money on new technology"
• the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences.

Some bozo changing the rules on his social media site is not scientific knowledge.

A browser does one thing: display web pages. If your media player is presented as a web page, a browser is a perfectly suitable choice.

Check /var/log/dpkg.log. See when they were installed, probably alongside something you wanted.

They don't have to do it well, just enough to satisfy the lawyers.

Sounds like you're just bored. You can try different distros if you want, but they're not significantly different under the hood. They're all still Linux.
