Yes.

One of the original goals of crypto is to create an alternative to the USD. AKA the cornerstone of the “petrodollar”. And the primary funding mechanism of US imperialism.

Ethereum NFTs use a microscopic amount of energy, it’s a proof of stake blockchain.

You’re right. What do I know with my 25 years of Linux experience.

It’s useful for any meaningful use of a computer.

That is why we use other init systems.

While this may be true (I really have no idea at this point), terminal is a superpower, pretty much the best option for anything except manually dragging and dropping files one by one.

Yup, I meant to imply that with regime change (strategic dominance etc.).

They’ve got SD cards and headphone jacks too.

Well -

• They want regime change
• They profit from military contracting
• They profit from increased national debt
• They don’t care about expending the lives of others

Graphene is designed to restrict a lot of choices (and root access) to be secure by default, Lineage is designed to give you root control over everything. Very different approaches.

Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.

I guess literally anyone who knows it’s a bloated idiosyncratic pile of garbage which introduces unnecessary attack surface. Guessing you’ve never used any of the alternate modern init systems.

I maintain all kinds of crap, some systemd, some non-systemd, some straight up busybox. Systemd is not easier to use for almost any of my use cases. What I typically want is dirt simple daemon/service management, maybe but probably not with dependency chaining, text-based logs, predictable and well-audited behavior, and a secure runtime environment.

ICE get the GOSH DARN HECK out of our CITY! Two more cautions and then I’m giving you a warning!

There’s really no excuse, proper project management would have replaced the UI and verified the new version included all the old functionality, organized well together with whatever new functionality they added. I think they were trying to keep old hats happy with the changes by letting them keep their old version, but it’s better to just rip the band-aid off if you’re gonna change it, now it’s a mess for everyone.

Seems like an incredibly bad idea for an ICC judge to be using Alexa/“OK Google”/Siri in any capacity.

Read something interesting earlier on Folke Bernadotte’s Wiki. Where is it…

In April 1945, Heinrich Himmler asked Bernadotte to convey a peace proposal to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Harry S. Truman without the knowledge of Adolf Hitler. The main point of the proposal was that Germany would surrender only to the Western Allies (the United Kingdom and the United States), but would be allowed to continue resisting the Soviet Union.

Not “recently” that’s for sure. More like “what you’re just going to walk in here after you what did last time?”

US gov has just normalized killing random people. So.

Doesn’t stop you from running a GTK app.
