You’re on of us then!

I, and many others, start closing stuff when there’s more than a handful.

Others, like many, just run then forever and ever. A sea of icons, tiny and compressed. Worrying they’ll lose that tab they really like in amongst the clutter. Unaware of the history feature.

I have a feeling this thread won’t be about Linux.

Linux is mailing lists, if anything. It’s definitely not Reddit.

I am so intrigued by Silverblue but given how stable Fedora is I’m not really sure I’d gain anything

Red Hat, way back in the 90s - must have been 5.0 IIRC.

Since then I went through Ubuntu and now landed on Fedora.

Never protested or did anything organised. Went from “yeah, a Tesla would be amazing to own” to “ugh, no thanks, don’t want to be seen driving that”.

Musk has only himself to blame.

micro ftw

They don’t need to edit the article, just submit a decent photo to wikimedia. The editing can be done by others as soon as the portrait has been uploaded.

I’m ascribing agency and competency to the military planners and to Rubio. Trump wouldn’t know which end of a lollipop to lick.

For Darwin sake, everybody can read this, right?

First Trump showed Ukraine that he can make Ukraine lose without US support. This brought them to the table again.

Now he aims to show Russia that they can’t win when Ukraine has US support. Trump will support Ukraine with new weapons and even more intel, possibly with permissions to use US weapons in deeper strike missions. This coincides with Trump getting Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire position (that Trump still doesn’t understand Russia will never agree to).

This will go on for 4-6 weeks, then Trump will realise “math is hard, yo” and properly give up on an attempt, blaming Russia, Ukraine and/or the EU.

Then by end of 2025 the recent Trump induced EU panic that caused Europe to react will have created a rapid expansion of European capability and will. Then the US will exit and the war will go on for another couple of years.

Darwin almighty if a celeb wants their photo changed on Wikipedia all they have to do is submit a decent photo they’ve taken themselves.

For most sites it’s a testing matrix issue. Most testing teams look at browser stats and choose how to apply their limited resources based on that. So the dev probably doesn’t even see the bug that exists for an old Firefox version as there’s no testing done on it.

The “now the tech is done can we rationalise the dev team?” fallacy just drives me up the wall. Mostly because I’ve actually worked in environments where those questions were seriously pondered and had to defend against it.

The best part is when some dufus goes “I’ve got a great idea and the grit to see it through. I just need to hire a tech person to do it for me”.

One’s my server, another one is my HTPC and another one is my OPNSense router. My house has got hidden mini PCs everywhere.

But to be fair here, this spending package has been cooking for a while. The head of the armed forces wrote in LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago that the Arctic was priority one. The timing is obviously suspicious but it’s not like Denmark wasn’t already going to increase spending.

lol true enough

It makes sense if you see it as an AI bot run by the Chinese state.

Unfortunately the work I’ve been involved in is all in a commercial setting and I don’t think it would behoove me to talk too much about it. One was a major replatforming of an enormous, global education platform. That succeeded but took 6 years, not 3. I’ve gone through major engine changes in various game studios; one of which was built from scratch, one which was kept up to date and had original GameCube code in it by the time we gave up on it and I’m in the middle of one right now, building a new platform for another education platform and refactoring a large VR platform. I wish I could detect a pattern of success - the only association I can find is with “patience”.

FWIW, I switched to Linux due to the amazing container support and haven’t looked back in terms of running software. The easy set up, tear down, and common monitoring makes it far more convenient to host stuff on Linux.
