Well on the one hand, he did kill Hitler!

On the other hand, he killed the guy who killed Hitler too…

It’s because it looks like a pinecone, which at the time were also called pineapples.

Hot take: the more Gnome shoots itself in the foot, the better for Linux.

Yeah I find it easier to just accept the terminology of natural numbers and whole numbers so we have simple names for both.

Obviously they need to make exit’s repr method raise a SystemExit

rmdir ./~

I’m grateful to Microsoft for Windows 11 providing me a bunch of free machines to stick in my basement and put Linux on.

You’re describing the boot keyboard, not the full USB HID protocol. It is true that there are some keyboards that only support NKRO, but the USB HID protocol has supported NKRO forever. https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro

Me replacing GNU coreutils with the rust ones.

That doesn’t get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

My experience with Apple has been more like

I credit Apple in many ways for their choice to design their business in a way that their profit motive often aligns with their users’ interests.

Their app store model for iOS is one of the strongest examples of them not doing that though.

The 747 doesn’t have that bad a safety record. I’m more interested in what random radio transmissions occur from it.

They’re already getting that illegally so that wouldn’t change.

You can filter posts with specific words or phrases. Or you could make the better choice of switching to Linux and getting a nice pair of programmer socks.

But how am I going to use capabilities to have my equivalent of sl having setuid to nobody?

This is not how probability works.

They’re downloaded somewhere under /var/snap and by default a snap only has access to a limited set of directories - one under /var/snap for system-wide data (generally used by snaps that run services like cups or MySQL) and one under ~/snap for each user. When you snap remove an app, it bundles that up into a file that’s kept for a while in case you reinstall, but it won’t if you use --purge.

Obviously many apps request access to other places (such as non-hidden directories in your homedir) so they can read or write stuff, but that’s down to the app to then behave correctly (same as with any other packaging system).
