Exactly, yeah.

Lol he said he doesn’t want any version number higher than what he can count on his fingers and toes.

Maybe in the past, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment.

Torvalds pointed out that the numbers he applies to new kernel releases are essentially meaningless.

“We haven’t done releases based on features (or on “stable vs unstable”) for a long, long time now. So that new major number does not mean that we have some big new exciting feature, or that we’re somehow leaving old interfaces behind. It’s the usual “solid progress” marker, nothing more.”

I would be… less sad if this is the case. My only wish for him is that he was cognizant when he went.

He will. In all of our memories.

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment… because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”

Oh I think that’s right. Either way accomplishes a stupid goal of prioritizing the executioners emotional health over the life of the person being executed.

I thought this said the International Federation of the Pornographic Industry and got really confused lmao.

When firing squads were a thing here there would be multiple shooters firing simultaneously but only one of them had live ammo. This was to “protect” the executioners from having to know who actually killed the person.

Unfortunately you’re only allowed to do that if you’re arguing that your (insert X vehicle here) should definitely have been able to take on (insert Y vehicle here) because of something in said classified documents.

This is off topic, but toms hardware is one of a growing list of pages using “ad recovery” services that intentionally break their own page and then blame DNS-level filters for the problem. It’s disingenuous at best and I really don’t think a site willing to employ a such deceptive tactic should be allowed to get page views.

It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’d themselves good on that one.

Less mentioned downside - digital rights management is significantly degraded in linux. Most commercial streaming apps/sites will work but but only at SD or 720p.

This is the same business model that tech “startups” use, just at a vastly accelerated time table. Upend some existing market (in this case, several markets) by burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. Once your customers have been hooked, and/or the alternatives eliminated as competitors, you crank up the prices to try and make the business cashflow positive.

which whicher would you most like to which?

They should turn Go Fund Me into a cage match or something. Let people donate against the cause and whichever group wins gets to pick where the money goes. The against group would have to pick a charity.

On my parent’s it doesnt render anything at all. Just shows the wallpaper.

Roku has had a big ad on the side for a while now? I’ve been blocking it with DNS.
