Wouldn’t that be an occasion where tactical nukes would become really handy? I would guess the classical zombie hord would be a real nice target…

No, but it certainly helps (and has helped me) in some situations if you are big guy that looks like being a coal miner (while actually being a keyboard jockey)…

Yup, i use it for work and its not only allowed, but the company is at the moment evaluating if it would be feasible to move all our clients to ChromeOS(-Flex).

I understand the general sentiment regarding Google, and it is somewhat earned, but if you compare Windows and ChromeOS (or the whole Google ecosystem) then its interesting to note that Google is (at least in my opinion) much, much more user friendly than Microsoft. No dark patterns, hassle free updates… it surely has its upsides.

Well… i am feeling somewhat heretical writing this… but i am a happy ChromeOS user for years now. In my opinion its a very good middle ground between a super stable platform that JUST WORKS and with the integrated Linux VM i have the opportunity to Install the necessary tools for my work.

For me as an old fart this all sounds like such a stupid thing… who cares if someone who volunteer to work for an software project is a Russian, German, Iranian or - God forbid - an Frenchman. My personal - and of course completely insignificant - opinion is that politics should stay out.
