Just install a proper keyboard layout with proper typography support once. It is maddening that the whole world uses typewriter keyboards with some facelift in the era of Unicode and even blasphemous full color emoji font rendering. What ha

A strange choice of words. It's like saying “cannibalism is pretty gross, but the chef outdid himself on those slices”. Moreover, even if it's complex from the technical point of view, morally it's dead simple: hired programm

So both Chrome and Firefox held something the wrong way , and it conveniently enabled bypassing sandbox in both cases. Very very interesting. What else might be affected?

Media just buries people in bad examples, and they don't notice the rest of the world. If you read about someone driving over 5 grannies, but still don't follow that example, certainly you can't say that “everyone is doing it

We're not talking about reinstating anyone, or doing anything about sanctions. We're talking about the execution, which was deliberately off. As if someone important started beating his fist on the table. I suppose that not Russia

This isn't about maintainers. This is about Linux leadership. People wonder if Linus was grabbed by the balls by some US officials. That's when you have to decide between having principles and obedience. That's what I was tal

No one is actually arguing about why it was done. It's the apparent secrecy and denial to reveal the details that should worry anyone in the world-wide Linux community. They aren't idiots, they knew this would happen. So there

You seem to think it's a different issue. It is not. There are “legal implications” of disobeying the orders and disagreeing to serve in the military. There are “legal implications” of calling the glorious leader a crooked mobster. The

It is evident everyone CAN be coerced. Not that everyone WILL BE, because some people still think of themselves as people, not some “honest citizens” or “economic agents”. It is also evident that someone quite far from Russia HAS ALREADY BE
