Please at least (or, well, at most) make it 8.1…

Hermione being r makes sense.

Ah yes, the pip to npm pipeline!

anyone that says there’s no history just refuses to learn to use discord discord has a very powerful and easy to use search feature

Kindly point me to the URL for a saved search.

… am I missing something here?

Wayland has a notable piece of “but Elon can do no wrong!” cult thing going for it.

Nov 2024 actually.

Wayland? Does it have colors, window position memory or hotkeys yet? Or are they still in the “we only sell an idea, you do all the work” vaporware phase?

Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

So, Android 9 / 10?

I’m sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

(IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

That’s a problem with the phone manufacturer, not with Lineage.

An used Pixel, assuming I can find one in my country, still costs four (4) times what I need to shell out for a in-market Lineage compatible phone.

Theoretical security is cute, but it has to be adjusted to practical feasibility. The most secure computer in the world is useless to you if you can’t boot it up.

Nothing too hypothetical nor an “insane” level of work. Didn’t Israel do just that with some beepers to blow up children?

If the kernel module Crowdstrike uses for Linux systems

Who who conscientiously uses Linux would allow a kernel level module solution such as this into their systems?

luck? I have a $5* wrench.

* (Actually a $7 wrench. Inflation is murder around here.)

But that can be said of any of the other such called factors:

A yubikey can be stolen

A fingerprint can be scanned and distributed

So its not really an argument against passwords (or passkeys, or passwordless, or whatever marketing want to call them these days).

Isn’t the idea that not everyone has access to your biometrics?

There’s honestly no need to make computers ask people for piss scans:

something you know

A password

something you have

Access to the password

something you are

The person who knows the password

That’s why I don’t have monitor dashboards 😎

They won’t merge my code unless I change my code to be GPL.

If you are the author of the code you want to merge, you can double-license it you know. Hand them a GPL license, they’ll be able to use your copy under the same terms, while you and everyone else use your current license.

I mean, if you are already know you’re using GCC, knowing to browse the manpage for info is easier.

The problem with manpages is, in my experience, they are vastly ill-suited for the “modern” / desktop-like workflow of the distros. They’re point is they’re not the tool for that, they are reference manuals focused on the tool, not training pamphlets focused on the use. Like, what is the manpage for “my desktop icons disappeared”? Even assuming there’s one. Or for “my desktop is in Italian but my start menu is in Swahili”? Or for “after video driver update and reboot my screen is monochrome”? Heck, for most of those even figuring out a proper info page (the “competitor” of man page) would be next to impossible.

So, there is of course merit to reading the documentation. But for that someone has to first isolate the workflow and write that documentation. I’m not interested in the man page for “steel” or for “lacrimals”; I need the usage pamphlet for “Slicing onions with a kitchen knife”.

How about a guillotine? Those don’t seem to require a religious belief, only a modicum of trust in the well-studied force of gravity.
