The most lumberjack-y tartans are Iowa (8% forests), Nevada (15% forests), Washington (52% forests), and Wisconsin (48% forests).

It’s called Plasma. Plaaaaaassssmmmaaaaaaaaa.

Missing a Raspberry PI 4 setup which hosts a print server, an RTP server with two surveillance webcams and no password, and also seeds a terabyte of torrents over the local flower shop’s unencrypted WiFi.

It’s because you now need to do systemctl restart sshd instead of /etc/init.d/sshd restart, I see no other reason than having to learn new syntax.

Arguably, init.d scripts were easier to understand, and systemd is a bit of a black box, it somehow works, but who knows where it writes logs or saves the process pid (it’s all in the documentation somewhere), with init.d script you can just open the script itself and look.

I think your videocard is about to die.

I have switched from XTerm to Konsole only a year ago.

Microsoft does not see Windows as a product since Ballmer left. It’s more of a liability, because you cannot sell it twice, and you cannot sell a Windows subscription. Windows still makes them just 10% profits, but selling cloud servers and office suite nets them 60% of their profits.

Microsoft IoT is not even a thing, the power of Linux IoT is that you strip everything from your kernel until your system runs on 32 MB RAM.

It makes sense, digestive system is way better at filtering harmful chemicals than lungs.

With any luck, Linux desktop will get the most installations wrapped as an Android app.

It’s just an overpriced FreeBSD.

There are better fonts now for people with dyslexia. I think ADHD and dyslexia are different things though, there’s no specific ADHD font.

It’s the fact they did not include all of CJK characters in their fancy new Roboto font, so we need to have several .ttf files for all languages.

Put on some socks you heathens

it’s used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works on your system. It’s the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

Torvalds kicked out a bunch of Russia-based kernel maintainers.

Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don’t speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

guzik to jest częścią ubrania

gówno jest produktem srania

dynia to jest do jedzenia

dupa to jest do pierdzenia

…

And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
