I do not know how that article covered so much background on GNU hURD and the quest for a micro-kernel UNIX without mentioning Redox OS.

https://www.redox-os.org/

Redox is also micro-kernel based POSIX compatible operating system (UNIX compatible). So quite like the GNU project and HURD in that sense.

Redox is younger, 10 years old instead of 30, and more “modern” (eg. written in Rust). It can be seen as a GNU competitor as it does not rely on the GNU C library or utilities.

I was for many of us. So, they were not totally wrong.

Wow. $211 is a steep discount. People are going to buy with Linux just to save money, some will try it (because it is there), and some may like it and stay.

At the very least, people may learn that Windows is no easier to install (or even harder).

There are always those that assist or even support their own genocide right until the bitter, fatal end. It is a normal human behaviour. As such, the presence of such people in no way implies that their are legitimate reasons for their position.

If fewer than 20% support something, it should be interpreted as essentially zero.

There is no greater enemy than a friend betrayed

What we have to realize is that, if this were WWII, the one playing Germany is now the US.

The lesson from WWII was that you do not appease the aggressor. Europe has to oppose the US. It does not matter how difficult that seems. They have to.

If not, Trump is not stopping at Ukraine. He will make demands of all of Europe while tariffing and cutting his own European defence spending the entire time.

The time to stand-up to Trump is now.

Back Ukraine. Stand up to the US. Russia is contained as long as we find Ukraine. The USA is not.

Exactly what evidence is there that bugs in new code are from new devs? To me, it feels like you have fallen victim to motivated reasoning.

Depends on your point of view.

Their motivation was “we have a vision for our UX and GNOME won’t let us do it — so let’s write our own.”

It was only after deciding to write their own that they decided to write it in Rust.

They like Rust, but that is not what motivated them to make COSMIC.

I am not American so treat this comment with the low bystander value that it deserves.

That said, I feel like Biden needs to do a lot more.

Honestly, if I was him. I would be considering massively extreme options.

Perhaps he should address the nation and say this:

“I believe the Supreme Court has made a grievous error that threatens the Constitution, our Republic, and the freedom of the American people. They have bestowed the Presidency with powers that it should not have - powers that I as President should not have and do not want. Powers that will surely lead to our destruction.

A President is not a king. According to the Supreme Court however, I am effectively your king at this time. Based on their new law, I can in this moment, if I choose, order the execution of not just Donald Trump but every Republican in Congress. According to the Supreme Court, I can never be charged or prosecuted for these acts. The next President could order the execution of me and my family. They could execute you and your family and there would be no accountability for doing so. The next President can ensure that we never have an open and fair election again. These are not exaggerations.

It is clear that the Supreme Court intended these unprecedented legal protections to shield Donald Trump. However, as President, these powers now rest with me.

As sworn defender of the Constitution, I have taken action tonight to right this wrong and to provide a small demonstration to the American people of just how destructive these new powers are and why we can never allow the Presidency to become above the law.

As we speak, all nine Supreme Court Justices and their families have been detained and will be held without trial at an undisclosed location. Donald Trump and his family have also been detained.

The issue of Presidential Immunity will be put before the Supreme Court when they meet again on November 4th. If they find that, in fact, President’s are not above the law and do not have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, everyone will be released. Their future, and ours, is now in their hands.

God Bless you all and God Bless America.”

EndeavourOS has its own repos and uses them to good effect to add small but important quality of life improvements to Arch.

EOS also had the very good sense to not reinvent the wheel and reimplement the best thing about Arch ( the large, high-quality package library ).

LMDE ( Mint on Debian ) is another distro that gets this right.

He has not joined yet. What is he supposed to prove?

I have not seen any porn. What am I doing wrong?
