They never actually said this. Some MS Engineer did and the press ran with it.

“k”

Ohh I see you’re missing out on the fun side of “legit” Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says “legit”

Also isn’t it some kind of skateboard term from the 90’s? “Broooo that 720 was legiiit 🤙”

“Like” is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it’s just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like

The best asdf bits are ones without any prior context.

Just make a proper threat level analysis. Are you a journalist or politically exposed person in a non-democratic or semi democratic system?
No?
Are you in a key position of a company or agency providing (for) critical infrastructure?
No?
Are you just a little shit, trolling on the internet?*
Yes? Maybe just dial that back.

Verdict: You are of no interest for a state sponsored Spy Software or some script kiddy trying to wreck your day.

*Hypothetical situation. Does not necessarily apply to the OP.

That sucks so much. I have such a cool vein scanner built in to unlock my laptop jedi style and I can’t use it because Fujitsu decided to not add support for Linux 🙄

Gmail really is a drug, huh?

Nobody goes like" Oh fuck I can’t take it anymore I just need another hit of Google Lens"

Keeping accounts for key services is a smart idea because at least you will always be able to take control if you need to. Also identity theft gets harder

I mean this is sort of like what the new NIS2 Regulations tries to achieve. Make critical infrastructure producers and maintainers aware and force them to treat their infrastructure accordingly.

Nervous sweating from the Audi-Bentley-Ducati-Lamborghini-Seat-Skoda-Volkswagen-Porsche-Conglomerate known as “Volkswagen AG”

Definitely hide any cylinders tho

All the examples you have brought forward apply to private individuals. This is about cooperations and companies. Those very different legal entities.

Does that surprise you, given that it’s a project out of the FOSS Space?

There is Alovoa, it’s FOSS, it’s just that nobody seems to be using it. Closest next user is ~10k km away😂
