They already do. Have you taken a good look at the cr@p most of those places call a "hamburger" or "chicken nuggets"?

That means that most people running the open source office suite, which has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times and was last updated in May, probably have vulnerable versions of the software. They really are providing the full Office experience

One of the many reasons to use LibreOffice.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation" introduced millions of people to the idea of a holodeck: an immersive, realistic 3D holographic projection of a complete environment that you could interact with and even touch. Don't let Moriarty out of the holodeck!

I worked for a company working on the same type of technology for the military (training). You wouldn't believe the number of "investors" from a certain industry, willing to shell over cash for the technology.
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."
Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

One of our key focus areas for Visual Studio 2022 is to build a personal, flexible IDE that you can make your own. Why, yes. It is a slow news day. Why do you ask?

Prioritised over fixing bugs, no doubt.

No, these are community themes made by weirdos outside of MS who were playing around with a theme editor.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Easier than working on their own bugs?
1. Fuss with your color scheme
2. Publish with a fancy name (gotta have 'Dark' in there somewhere)
3. Profit?

Conventional industry wisdom often says the management track is the only long-term growth path available to engineers. Not everyone wants to be a manager

They forgot the "give me more money and stop bugging me until I retire" track.

Companies have long been hungry for open-source savvy employees, now they're starving. In related news - companies with source code would like to hire developers
|
|

What do you mean open-source developers aren't free?
|
|
|
|
|
Free, as in puppies

Only because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean you are not being followed.

If you're that paranoid, create new virtual machines (from some sort of template, so the each have differing MAC, TCP/IP etc. addresses), use each once e.g. to log on to Facebook etc., and then destroy it with a secure wipe.
You may get the governmental alphabet soup after you (FBI, CIA, NSA, GCHQ, Mossad, ...), but I doubt that Google et al. Will be able to track you...

In the Netherlands, and probably the whole EU, there are regulations that limit an employer's right to spy on their employees.
It's not illegal, but employees must be notified and it must comply with the GDPR.
An employee has a right to privacy, even on work-issued devices.
If my former employers did anything described in this article, I'd have a pretty strong lawsuit I think.
