At least it wasn’t “your feelings are wrong”

I’d want a registry that was compartmentalized meaning each app gets an area to store its own configuration and the apps can only modify their own settings (without root permissions).

Apps should never be expected to modify system settings directly but only through system calls.

Some Linux packages achieve this kind of behavior by adding an additional user which owns their configuration directories. That always felt hacky to me.

A centralized place to store settings (e.g. the registery) isn’t a bad idea in and of itself.

Desktop Environments are decoupled from the underlying system. It makes switching DEs very easy but integration sucks.

I needed to flush dns on my Ubuntu machine. I googled it found a command for an older version. But of course the underlying stuff changed since then and that command doesn’t exist anymore.

The command to flush dns on Windows has been the same for decades. On Linux half the stuff I learn is going to be obsolete in a couple of years and that knowledge can’t be carried over to other Distros because they do it differently.

I also had to manually build and install a driver for a very common realtek wifi chipset that is not even new.

BT LE audio should help in that regard. It also has some cool features like directly sending audio to individual ear buds rather than having to have one bud relay the audio to the other and “auracast” which allows multiple devices to listen to a single source.

I was going to ask if he popped out of his mom as a little metal nugget but apparently he actually has the ability to turn the metal on and off at will.

Mounties should domesticate these things and ride when around

I used to be more of an epsilon male but I’m more of an omicron male nowadays.

Ain’t nobody got time for that

The message on this sign hasn’t been updated in over 10 years, but got scrambled sometime between 2021 and 2022

Edit: Actually, the last line “Free Internet” was removed sometime between 2018 and 2021. RIP Free Internet.

Although the “restaurant” sign was replaced sometime between 2014 and 2016

Would be best if there were several mirrors in several countries. It’s unfortunately too large to realistically host via crowd sourcing. The best you could do is something ala Storj where fragments are redundantly distributed across various hosts.

They essentially would just need to develop their own Wine
