That PR seems to have been closed rather than merged though, I don't think it has reverted the change yet

My favourite tidbit about them is how there were dedicated devices to bring them back from the brink of unconsciousness: https://museumcrush.org/this-device-was-used-to-resuscitate-canaries-in-coal-mines/

Canonical seems to be based in the UK, going off of the Wikipedia page

I really appreciate the title of the article

I'd received some communication from one of the banks here, which summarised the budget. This section is relevant:

Tax holiday till 2047 to any foreign company that provides cloud services to customers globally by using data centre services from India. It will, however, need to provide services to Indian customers through an Indian reseller entity, safe harbour of 15 percent on cost in case the company providing data centre services from India is a related entity.

It feels like an incentive like any other, to make data center services (not just limited to AI) hosted here. One can probably see this in one of two ways, GDPR-like data privacy or just general surveillance. I've seen data privacy regulations taking focus so I'm hopeful, but time will tell

Wild guess but maybe there's some security tightening updates, possibly relating to Linux's ptrace subsystem since that allows debugger-like access. That could be a direction to look into. Any logs that you can get for them (especially PINCE)?

It's quite rough to get people's schedules to line up, so it's not always easy to do so. I appreciate the suggestion, however

Oh this has layers

Mainly Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike GO/2, cuz both of them have cosmetics with rarities obtained via what effectively amounts to lootboxes. In one sense they also have an out-of-game economy around these things where these items are traded for actual money
