Not an expert, but the only thing I can imagine is that it's related to certificates or keypairs used for encrypted communication / authentication. Afaik ssl certificates can be issued to a given company, for example, and might become invalid when that company no longer exists. Or it becomes impossible to issue new ones.

Something in that vein, maybe.

I'm a Norwegian Linux enthusiast and have never heard anything about the government using Ubuntu or Linux. Seems unlikely, from what I know. I know that within healthcare Windows is still widely used, even on the server side...

On the other hand, a lot of software for official services is being developed as open source now, so that's at least a good step in the right direction. Example: https://github.com/navikt

I literally have an account there dedicated to porn. Have had it for years. I stopped using Twitter after the muskocalypse, except I still check my porn account every once in a while.

You have to actively go looking for porn there, but once you do it's a neverending rabbit hole. Especially if you're into some niche/fetish stuff. There's some unique stuff to be found there...

You can google "women in computing" for more details, or check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_computing - it's amazing how much women contributed to this field and how little known that appears to be. (I only learned about it a few years ago myself.)

But the gist is:

Early on (i.e. the 1940s and 50s), men thought the prestige and honor was in building the giant machines (which back then could fill a classroom or more). Actually programming them was considered easier, "just like following a recipe", so women got jobs as "computers" who did this part. To quote that wikipedia article: Designing the hardware was "men's work" and programming the software was "women's work."

Fast forward to the 1970s and people had started realizing that programming was actually hard, and so it was promoted as a field boys should get educated in, while girls were encouraged to instead become nurses and teachers and such.

There's a Christian politician here in Norway who is in love with T-rump. During the last election he was interviewed on TV and asked why he supports a man who lies and does other unchristian things. His answer was

"😍 Trump 😍 is 😍 against 😍 abortion 😍 Trump 😍 loves 😍 life 😍"
