How to look weak and vulnerable in 140 characters

Nah, my village just had the bin

A full potato? Lol, when I was young I had nothing but a french fry, scavenged from a McDonald’s bin.

Great move in these times where RAM is cheap and widely available

But I’m level 3 genius!

Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been there in the times before systemd. It streamlined a lot of things under the hood that were stupidly varied among distros, like where certain configurations were placed. Really, nobody needed that and it broke a lot. Systems also introduced some sanity through service dependency awareness, e.g., which service needs to be running before the next can be started. You might find that obvious, but Linux was still stuck in the 80s on that level and essentially a guessing game.

That said, if you want to try something else, the most reasonable but quite involved alternative is probably guix with shepherd.

That’s multiple thousands in some countries

Same here, never looked back. Enjoy it as long as it lasts

GDPR already exists, but there is no such thing as permanence in politics. Constant struggle

Meanwhile, big AI vacuums up the entirety of music produced by everyone from piracy sites for profit and noone bats an eye

Sounds a lot like a license troll. Probably the specific court and potential violation of a law were picked with care. Perhaps they looked through valve’s terms in advance to find a loophole, design their own terms to exploit that etc.

Agree and this is very informative about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA9Xq7hb6Q0

He also has another video somewhere to stress test some of the disk types I think

No clue where that is from and if it’s already in effect, but what’s marked here only talks about developers, not users. Still, what a world to live in

Curiously people seem much more privacy aware with these

Now what does that tell us about the sanity and safety?
