What incident?

Thank you!

Cool! Which one?

I agree with you, the damage has been done. That’s why I’m looking at alternative methods of transportation, like an ebike or public transit. Hopefully your area has good infrastructure for that.

It’s in the works.

X-actly as intended.

FTFY

I guess having 3 kids will do that to you.

What happened to Linus? He looks so old now…

So when do the artists get to move on to extending AI?

That is correct.

…The Rock has come back to Flatpak!

I rate it a 10.10.0 out of 10.

• The Website League, an island network that’s taking a very different approach

“Website League”? I like the sound of that. Like some sort of super team…

They keep talking about it being a new age of AI and how it’s going to change the world but it’s only made the internet a worse place and changed nothing or made things worse.

Just like with crypto and NFTs.

TLDR : Does finnish man like bearded GNU jesus man and the same vice versa

My impression is that they both have a respect for each other, although they don’t necessarily like each other.

I’ve seen this happen far too many times.

Acquired/Acqui-hired

Examples: GeoCities, Posterous, Brace.io, Roon, Viddy, Qwiki, Yahoo! Voices, Blip.tv, Giphy

Situation: Company A buys Company B, employees and all. Together, they will continue their incredible journey to make the world a better place. A few months/years/seconds later, Company B is dead and its employees are either laid off or reassigned to Company A projects.

Here’s some more excerpts from the book that I found amusing:

As you learned in Chapter 1, Linux is an open source operating system, meaning that anyone can download and modify it. Open source operating systems can benefit from improvements contributed by thousands of programmers. Some people choose open source operating systems out of an anti-establishment spirit; others choose them as a practical matter because they are free.

“Anti-establishment” isn’t the word I’d use, but I guess that fits.

One of the most popular distros for casual users, Ubuntu, comes with a DE called Unity (shown in Figure 5-16)

That hasn’t been true since 2017.

Be suspicious of free apps. In the best-case scenario, the app does what it says but installs ads or other software. In the worst-case scenario, the free app is, or contains, malware that might steal personal information from your device, encrypt your data files and demand a ransom for decryption, or monitor your device usage. Installing an app sometimes asks for specific permissions that the app will use. Be selective in allowing app privileges to items such as contact lists, GPS location, e-mail messages, and so on.

Okay, I’ll admit this is good advice if we’re talking about “freeware”, but there’s also free/libre/open-source software, which has all of the benefits of freeware, and also gives you the freedom to read/mofify/share the source code, if you wish.

As for that “malware” you speak of, you might as well be describing Google Chrome.

No media player supports all formats, so it’s important to find one that supports the formats of the clips you want to play.

Clearly, these people haven’t heard of VLC.

Codec is short for “compressor-decompressor”

It actually stands for “coder/decoder”.

And that’s just one page…
