Doesn't the XO-1 have only 256MB RAM? That's definitely enough to boot Debian Stretch and get to a desktop, but I'm skeptical that it's useful for any real work. (Of course, keeping hardware in use even as software req

You can't achieve this without support from the free, mainline kernel, which I've also addressed in my comment; downstream kernels, by and large, depend on these proprietary blobs. Mainline kernel support is also hard; the LG Nex

Well, that explains it. We knew that the North Korean embassy in the UK weren't happy about the suggestion that a certain high-profile person from NK should take better care of his hair: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk

The libhybris support that's mentioned near the end is the most interesting part, IMHO. In principle, that should ultimately be enough to run a postmarketOS-based userspace (and of course, a Debian Mobile based one, or any other distro

Did you miss the part where the party of Lincoln managed to rebuild the Southern economy and society from the ground up ? Of course, it wasn't the first "Reconstruction" that they attempted in the South, either - but hey,

Yes, and he goes on by saying " So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner. " It's an argument that, by the 1980s the main parties were no longer focusing on race in their campaigns, and that all that wa

German-Americans were highly encouraged to self-identify as "white" during the Progressive Era, precisely due to the WWI issue and as a way of promoting some kind of unity beyond national-origin differences. Of course that still

You're assuming that finding the handful of "high-value" aircraft carriers you want to target is easy, whilst it very much isn't. If that becomes the bottleneck, there are lots of possible defenses.

MS did fear the open source approach back then - the 'Halloween' documents were leaked out of MS in that timeframe, and they do make that quite clear.

There used to be a pretty easy way to install Linux on MS-DOS running computers (which includes Win 9x) without damaging the existing system in any way. You would place the Linux filesystem inside a C:\LINUX folder on the FAT partition, us

Valve is currently maintaining SteamOS which is based on Debian, so why wouldn't they want to go with that? The Steam client is already in the Debian non-free repository.

Perhaps you simply haven't worked all that much on verbal-related skills, compared to quantitative ones. Have you tried e.g. using Anki to expand your vocabulary?

The weirdest part is not that Republicans think universal healthcare is socialism; it's that they think that it is, while also thinking that Medicare is not! Remember "keep the government out of my Medicare"?
