Surface Mount Technology, obviously!

Except Alpine & those based on it, which uses Linux but not GNU libc or GNU coreutils or GNU BASH… Just musl libc & Busybox. I.e. the entire subject of this thread is one of the non-GNU Linuxes.

Yes, I listed sysvinit for that reason. And Musl instead of glibc. GNU is optional in a Linux distro, except for the kernel’s use of a GNU license.

Sure, I should have gone further.

Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/GNU BASH/Linux/X11//GTK/GNOME
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/GNU BASH/Linux/X11/GTK/LXDE
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/X11/GTK/GNOME
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/X11/GTK/LXDE
SysVInit/musl/Busybox/tcsh/Linux/csh
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/Wayland/QT/KDE Plasma
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/Wayland/QT/LXQT

etc, etc.

There are thousands of combinations of the possible layers needed to make an OS.

Systemd/GNU/Linux/GTK or Systemd/GNU/Linux/QT, really…

Swap files are useful if you are still on EXT4 or similar. If you’re using ZFS or BTRFS or BCacheFS, they have no benefits.

Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.

0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.

30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.

60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.

80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.

100°F is 100% hot. AC or you’ll melt.

120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.

On libc functions yes. Maybe on some from other libs, if they provide man pages.

Soylent green, clearly.

Or meat. Humans are mostly meat.

Many cameras these days have AI autofocus for subject detection. Phone cameras use AI image enhancemnnt by default.

Quantum mechanics doesn’t have “particles”, it has “quanta”. They’re fundamentally different things. Your intuition about particles does not apply to quanta.

Think of light. You can shine a red light and a blue light on a surface at the same time. Even with a purely classical vew this gets modeled as a superposition (addition) of the intensities. That’s still wrong for how quantum superpositions work, those are adding the probability density functions of a propersty of the quanta, not the properties directly. But it’s closer.

And color management. Useless for photo editing, stuck with 8-bit sRGB.

Yes, Krita is by far a better editor.

Or color spasecs other than sRGB (8 bits/channel). I’ve a camera that takes 10 bits/channel photos, a monitor that displays 10 bits/channel, etc. But GIMP will just distort the colors because they hard-coded the color space! Can’t edit for print either, no CMYK. GIMP is an image editor for the noughties, not the 2020s.

Then again, we’re talking about MS Paint here. If Paint fills your needs, GIMP will be fine.

Same, I’ve tiny hands and a Note 9. Works fine.

USB Power Delivery (fast charge) doesn’t require USB 3.0 speeds, just USB-C connectors.

Omnipotence!

If they make Mute prevent the other user sending DMs it’d be compliant.

Mastodon “block” is one-way, Twitter is two-way (it blocks the other person seeing your posts if they’re logged in).

Yep. This guy thought he was fighting a righteous battle against the evil of white replacement. Brainwashed, but not insane by any clinical definition any more than any soldier is.
