Does this mean the creator of the Python language is a Microsoft employee now?
Yes, he is employed by Microsoft now. He did step down from Python as BDFL in 2018.
Further, does this mean that Python in spreadsheets only works in the cloud MS Office?
It's not technically limited to only Microsoft Cloud, but Azure-powered services, but it's kind of the same.
Implications from the patent being granted are yet to be seen, but it's not looking good. It will severely limit external tools if MS decides to enforce the patent.

Lizakbar is a combination of the words lizard and Akbar, from the Arabic phrase Allahu akbar, which translates as "God is great" or "God is magnificent". Allahu akbar has been used as a battle cry for Muslims for as far back as the Crusades. However, in this case, it is associated with Islamic extremist terrorists, who have been known to shout the phrase before a suicide bombing.

You are correct. I got distracted and forgot that the article was talking about office work.
In this case, non-competes prevent people from quitting and switching the job. Also, people forget, that a lot of office workers moved to live outside the city center after the pandemic, so now having to commute is a lot more than mere inconvenience.

I stated my opinion and linked to the article that supports that assertion. If Russia was unhappy with that "claim" they could have refuted it by a simple image or video, which they didn't do.
Do you have any Russian sources to corroborate this?
Lack of refuting from Russia is confirmation of that being the case in my eyes. If you need a detailed response from Russia's spokesperson, then there isn't one.

Very unlikely. There was a possibility early on that Putin would decide to go out with a fiery bang of glory, but time passed and nothing happened. He might threaten use of nukes, but won't actually use them for fear of retaliation. The whole fucking point of nuclear weapons was deterrence until the brain-dead US decided to actually use them. One can hope the world learned their lesson.

It'd be one thing if X didn't actively promote disinformation but they are doing that. They're picking what and who to promote via their algorithm.
That's the argument being revisited in US courts right now. If you choose to promote something, you are doing the editorializing and shouldn't be protected under Section 230. And with how much a certain party hates the whole section, it's likely to get struck or limited if it ever reaches the Supreme Court. That irony would be lovely.
If they had a hands-off approach to free speech (like any given Mastodon instance) I'd agree with you.
Just to be clear, Mastodon doesn't have "hands-off approach to free speech". Each instance has clear rules around what they allow and don't allow. Just the federated nature of it prevents censorship, so all opinions can be heard.

Phew, I was imagining a closet of drives. NAS is great.
Cold storage is always controversial as you are storing it on someone else's hardware, but it is by far the most cost-effective option. Just a single month's electricity cost in some places can match years of cold storage.
Using both of course is recommended, as cold storage acts as another backup vector in case your own storage ever gets catastrophic failure due to fire or flooding. 3-2-1 rule and all. But cost is always a factor in people using the best practices.

I'm not too familiar with different TV OS, but even just DNS blocking would still work for that. DNS blacklists are not enough to block ads on native clients, as they are being served from the same domain.
