Since observing a SquashFS image outperforming others when doing PDB database processing, I await Linux boot images to all switch to compressed read-only filesystems. Kernel image files already use bzimage for a long time. That would make i

Last call for preservation of our video game history. Right to preserve our culture should be enshrined in law, because otherwise it will disappear due to adverse relation with copyright law and novel art production.

I think "bad" is understatement: the secrecy of the law undermines the principle of transparency that makes law work.
