Very nice. You (at least I) would not think of France as having a good Open Source presence, but they do. Over the years I have heard of many good Open Source Projects coming out of France. I sometimes wonder if it is because of French vs

I have been seeing the trend of Fantasy slowly taking over SF for a while, maybe as long as 30 years :( Real Science based SF seems to have disappeared completely, at least based upon the only Book Store left in my area, Barnes and Noble.

That is a shame, I figured Harris would be the last small shop left. Unfortunately, I have seen a few family owned shops taken over by a "large" company, namely Trek. Others have just closed. I only know of one or 2 family owned

Came to say the same, I meet him once in his shop, what a great person he was. His wife also has a great amount of bicycle knowledge from what I heard.

Exploitation is to make the exploitor rich, not to make the exploitee rich. But from what I understand Mexico could be a bit better off then it was decades ago. But looking at history, the US took big chunks of land from Mexico in the 1800s

Not that it was already out that with past breaches. One example was the Experian breach, anyone who applied for a loan was already out there. Never mind all the other too many to count breaches that have occurred. Just now with DOGE we

I am not talking about rich, but exploation. The US kind of exploits Korea, Taiwan for cheap labor.and goods. Pakistan was on/off a US ally, same for Egypt. Both at different times were aligned with USSR/Russia, bouncing between

Korea was propped up by the US due to the Cold and Korea Wars. Taiwan due to the cold War too. Both are still being supported by the US. Singapore was owned by the UK and was ignored left alone due to the fact of its size. So it was able

Our current world system is based on exploitation by the powerful on the weak. It has been this way since the dawn of time at many levels. So now, powerful countries take resources from less powerful countries. There are many ways this c

I would, but one of the main keys stopped working. It is a very old solar scientific calculator and large for a calculator. If I could open up the case without cracking it I would attempt a repair, but I know I would end up breaking it :(

FWIW, I tend to think eventually everything will. But I am more worried about Wayland than systemd for the *BSDs. AFAIK, all systemd does is start items KDE needs, so with some work I think workarounds can be created. But, once Firefox ch

Trick question ? Real work was about 8 hours per week, the rest of the week was in meetings, of which 80% of the meetings were nothing but a big waste of time. Total per week average was maybe 42 -- 44 hours. Some periods of time was much

With linkedin down, I wonder if this is an azure thing ? IIRC github is being moved to azure, maybe the azure piece was partially enabled ?

>The second reason for dropping System V is that packages like GNOME and soon KDE's Plasma are building in requirements that require capabilities in systemd Do people who really uses LFS even want GNOME or KDE on their system ?

I would love to know were IBM is on this. They use sudo everywhere, even on AIX. Not to mention IBM owns Red Hat Linux. IBM should be able to send a decent amount to Todd once in a while, but based upon how much IBM supports ssh ($0), a

No offense to the author, a good article, but seems he may live outside of the US, or maybe works at a small company. My experience as a developer, in the 80s and most of the 90s, there was a benefit to a promotion. Since about 2000, promot

I did something similar with my old 286 system. The CMOS battery failed and I rigged up a replacement using velcro and 4 AA batteries. Worked great. Sadly I had to toss that system when I moved to a smaller apartment :( Looking back, toss

Interesting question. I remember M/S sold or spun off Xenix, but I thought that was due to them wanting to focus on DOS and Windows. Found this and the answer is "no" :) Seems they rid of it due to Bell Labs breakup, see &q

No doubt with that, ICE seems to be able to kill when and whomever they want. ICE looks close to the brown shirts in Germany in the 30s.

Love the title, I use to bring the donuts from a small one place donut shop in my neighborhood. He makes great donuts. But to be fair, WFH (work from home) has the same outcome.
