brb I’m just going to take a few minutes to go through my records and see if any of my recent upvotes need revising in light of your latest comment.

Worst of all, root access is often granted to humans — a species known to be vulnerable to the most idiotic phishing scams you could imagine.

Debian is still the best at being Debian. I rate it the least likely to give me any unpleasant surprises.

Yeah making jam is quite easy. Basically just add some sugar and pectin and put it on the stove until it’s jam.

Otherwise, put them in the freezer.

I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.

Mostly I just install Skyrim mods manually because I’m insane I guess, but for some games I like to run Mod Organizer 2 under proton. Your whole linux filesystem can be made accessible to windows programs, not sure if it is by default. But anyway since we’re talking steam games here the game itself normally will be in the same place as usual, as far as windows programs know.

If they go through with this I’ll switch to Hannah Montana Linux.

Don’t do it at this time of year.

You’re not really living with as much free software as possible until you’ve installed all of the 103818 packages in debian.

For me it was when we all started having regular Satanic death metal sex parties, the left wing was pretty boring before that.

Hm, someone claiming to be Vaxry says it’s real, it’s not April fool’s day, the link is to the domain that’s on their github page, it’s still up however many hours later… well that was unexpected.

Would you approve of a seditious conspiracy to destroy the rightful government of the United States of America? Click here to be added to the list.

(Apparently it’s Dave Cutler, who wikipedia reminds me is the crazy VMS guy “known for his disdain for Unix.” Apologies to both of them.)

Is that Donald Knuth? If so, “three guys taking a photo with Donald Knuth” might be a better title.

True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.

Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.

I mean it’s better than nothing I guess but that is not what I’d call “freely available.” In addition to requiring that you use their shitty online viewer, it appears to require users to sign in to an account even to do that. It’s directly admitted on the website that they make it unusable in this way specifically because they rely on the revenue from selling real access to people who need it.
