I think the person you’re replying to was responding to this bit from the article:

The pay raises were recommended by a commission appointed by Mamdani earlier this year.

The IPO reportedly raised $85 billion

Valuation (which is where that “over $1 trillion” comes from) is a different thing entirely

Maybe Trump will fire him.

In theory, the president can’t fire the vice president, for the same reason why the vice president can’t fire the president.

But I don’t think anyone’s ever just tried it with the “screw the rules I have judges” workaround, so, 🤷

No, the DOJ entity for that area is the US Attorney for SDNY.

Manhattan DA = state, not federal

Is this the kind of “warning” like those “warnings” they put on grape concentrate products during Prohibition to help you avoid “accidentally” using it to make wine?

Since you’re still a Windows user at least for now, and assuming that you’re planning on continuing to be open-source, I can recommend Certum for this. https://shop.certum.eu/open-source-code-signing.html

I gave up trying to initialize the USB thingy using Linux (I tried regular Arch [btw] and an Ubuntu distrobox IIRC), but once I got through the initial steps using Windows, I was able to sign ongoing builds with Linux just fine. It took a LOT of trial and error since there seem to be very few people who simultaneously

• pathologically dislike using Windows regularly
• still want to make it easier for people on Windows to minimize Windows Defender complaints when running software that they build
• have the motivation and resolve to send a lot of PII to one of a handful of companies whose longtime business model is based around reputation and trust in order to get a usable certificate
• are stubborn enough to go out of their way to still figure out how to do a subset of this stuff on Linux
• are capable of actually succeeding at that, and
• are willing to show how they did it in a way that should be reasonably easy enough to understand and adapt to your situation

I didn’t renew after my first year - I switched from publishing an executable to publishing it on the web, so I no longer had a need for it - so I don’t know how things have changed (if at all). Most of my information came from eventually stumbling upon this wiki page for a Ruby-based tool where they figured out the last bits I needed to get it to work.

• It also has instructions for initializing the USB thingy on Linux too, so if I were to renew, I’d give that a fair shot… but seeing “icedtea” and a link to a web application that no longer resolves, I’d still only recommend it if you can use a Windows machine once a year.

Not much of a story to tell, honestly. I still have some e-mail receipts from around that time, but here’s a Reddit post about the idea: https://redd.it/2ehu1r

I mean, if I were paying for my airbreather.dev domain for as long as I’ve had my linux.com email, I’d have paid more, sure… but “@ linux.com” looks so much more like the vibe I want to show to potential employers, so I go with that, and it’s a comparatively tiny cost even at today’s prices.

I got one in like 2009 or so as a student at university. It literally paid for itself, because it also let me get a discount on a new laptop that was bigger than the price I paid the Linux Foundation.

I can confirm that my linux.com e-mail is still active, and I’ve changed where it forwards over the years.

Just make sure that wherever you’re forwarding it, you can reply from that same address. GMail has been fine for this, but when I switched to a different provider that didn’t support this, conversations started getting awkward.
