This is absolute hyperbole. Does the U.S. not have a Supreme Court, and indeed other courts, for interpreting legislation?

That's a pertinent question.

You're right that paid reviews may be legal if they're clearly advertised as adverts, as opposed to framed as impartial reviews. But walking that line is fine, right, because people expect reviews to be impartial. Regardless, th

Sort of. The problem is fsync() is a rather blunt tool, forcing too much to be synchronised, reducing concurrency. I remember when ext4 was new there was debate about supporting atomic rename() without fsync(); see https://lwn.ne

True, but bcachefs gives the impression of being better designed, nor being rushed upstream. I think it helps that bcachefs evolved from bcache.

Yeah, my wording was clumsy, but thanks for assuming good faith. I essentially meant their enthusiasm had wained. It's good you can give reasons ZFS is still important to Ubuntu on the server, although as a desktop user I'm sad no

Sure, there's lots of room for improvement. IIRC, rebalancing might be a WIP, finally? But credit where credit is due: for a long time, ZFS has been the only fit for purpose filesystem, if you care about the integrity of your data.

You're right that DKMS is fairly easy (at least until you enable secure boot). > Even minor ones, 6.2.13 IIRC broke it, whereas 6.2.12 was fine. Interesting! It's just a shame the license has hindered adoption. Ubuntu were ship

Oh! This is very exciting. Bcachefs could be the next gen filesystem that Linux needs[1]. Advantages over other filesystems: * ext4 or xfs — these two don't use ECC to protect your data, only the filesystem metadata * zfs — zfs is tech

Similarly, finding the right replacement DC adapter for electronics is challenging. I have had to do this a few times, to avoid travel adapters bundled with equipment. Roll on more USB C dominance.

We're not talking about hiring more people, let alone an infinite number. Simply I am pointing out the downsides of laying off people.

Had they paid your previously, just failing to pay this time? In that case it will be quite easy to demonstrate what you're owed. But yes, the other user was absolutely right: just because a contract isn't written, doesn't me

Sure, but my point is to remember to do that. Extractor fans are for more than extracting the smell of onions or fish.

It prohibits both commercial use, whether or not you break regional laws; and it prohibits breaking certain laws. As another user said, encoding the law into a licence is pointless but makes it non-free. There are also problematic restricti

I must say, at the very least, I find the contrast is rather funny. New organisations were parroting SpaceX's euphemism of a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”, to the extent there was a headline saying it was “actually good news”[1]. Whi
