Yes, this is 100% a scam or rather, fraud (and may be illegal where you live).

He explains the con right in the follow-up email.

The reason for this proposal is that I had been working with several US collaborators on regular US software engineering roles using their profiles due to the high rate. After securing the positions, the work is subcontracted to me.

Let's break this down.

He gets people who would have nice resumes (or profiles,.. like a young fella fresh outta college) to apply for tech jobs. He's looking specifically for US tech jobs because of the "high rate" in which he means the jobs pay a high hourly rate/wage.

Once the company hires you, you subcontract (aka pay him) to do the work. Of course he's probably going to say something like, well you keep 20% of the "high rate" for yourself.

The following is only speculation

Since he's asking you about interviews and team meetings, I have a feeling he's not getting a lot of success recruiting "collaborators" in the US and likely thinks getting someone already in the US to recruit other will be easier (no language barrier, no international issue, etc). Having an American front man for this scam is likely going to make recruitment easier.

not a single one of those compositors implement the entire API surface you need.

Aegis has requested that those of us who wish to not see Talon on Linux die out do the following:

• Do not, for any reason, discuss Wayland support with him;
• As a community, gather together, and successfully implement the entire API surface needed for Talon on GNOME, KDE, and wlroots,

At which point a new Wayland backend will be considered for Talon.

I agree that it's not up to Talon to implement the missing APIs in the compositors. However, I think the dev is doing a disservice to the users of Talon by not adding wayland support (ie making the calls to the APIs Talon needs to function). If Talon used those wayland protocols, users could point to the software and say it's "not working on compositor because the compositor is missing wayland protocols".

IMO its a much easier sell to the compositor people when they know a useful piece of software is actively trying to target those APIs.

That being said, I sure hope the situation improves. The state of accessibility on wayland is pitiful.

Incredible! But does it come in dark mode?

Describing it as an “unprecedented, unnecessary, and discriminatory investment obligations on American streaming services operating in Canada,” the Motion Picture Association accused the decision of violating CUSMA.

MPA seems to have forgotten that Trump said CUSMA is irrelevant.

Yes. I got an email to purchase on Tuesday of this week. I also reserved one a few minutes after reservations went live.

Hasn't shipped yet though.

Yes

alors c'est là que ça devient drôle

Je comprends pas

Leclair also faces eight charges from the incident, ranging from dangerous driving, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, failure to comply with a demand for a breath sample, and flight from a peace officer.

Is it just me or does that sound exaggerated, clickbaity?

No, warn is, by definition (see 1.c), an accurate term to use.

How many bits of data can a Starling "carry" and is it faster to have a starling fly data across the country to deliver data than it is for the data to be downloaded?

Evel Knievel movies. Although I did really like the series.
