But the issue here is not inherently with Linux. It is more so with vendors of printers making drivers. If Brother feels that there are enough people running Linux and want to own a Brother printer, they will make the driver. Maybe that is

I don't think pleasing tech adopters is what help windows at this point. Maybe 20 year ago, sure. Today, most consumers of Windows that are not business/enterprise, are probably doing it more so because that was the defacto OS for

No, but there is a method to the madness. Military units are often given an allowance for the year. One of the responsibilities of a commissioned officer is to often manage the unit's finances. Being in the Navy, my Bosun manage my avi

As a follow up to add more context. Yes, the hassle of getting GNOME running on NetBSD or FreeBSD or OpenBSD has been more recent. GNOME used to be pretty portable, but then some dependencies on systemd specifics and other 'linuxisms&#

Yup. A lot of people are short sighted when they think Russian history begins with the October Revolution. As you show, it is a pattern of Russia that extends well before the October Revolution. I read Gary Kasparov's Winter is Coming

No expert either, but I can speak as a non-traditional student (didn't go to college right out of high school join the Navy and started a family first) about to graduate with a degree in engineering. I was decent in math in grade schoo

Design aesthetics change for different reason. The chemical plant I work at, we had a colorful control system but are switching to a duller color one that looks gray scale and colors are reserved for alarms. The theory behind it, color on a

I know right. No longer having access to facebook seems like a societal good rather than something bad.

I am going to call BS on NATO's threat to Russia. How many wars/conflicts has Russia engaged in without NATO interference? It is time to move on. If Russia doesn't plan to invade NATO territory, the most most NATO will do is

Yugoslavia is the case here that isn't like the others. After the fall of yugoslavia, certain ethnic groups went back to ethnic cleansing. Important to note, the time for Yugoslavia up to that point is probably one of the longest perio

Reading this [1]. It definitely seems as CODIS's primary purpose is connection to crime and such. I could be wrong and hope I am wrong. But it wouldn't be too surprising, my understanding from when I was in and see SAPR cases unfo

uwu is rather new, but anime, not so much. SDF pubnix started around anime, but has had a strong hacker culture in it since then (1987).

Its a letter of the law versus spirit of the law. I am of the later. Investigating one crime does not inherently give permission to use data from that crime to start trying to solve other crimes unless they are directly connected, i.e. tyin

Wow, do they not have to get blood draws before entering the force? I know little about police officers, but I know during in-processing into the military, at some point you get blood drawn and your told that the information from that will

This is where unfortunately the mass public messes things up. There lots of possibilities that exist as to the origins of COVID. However, everyone I know who thought lab leak was possible, also thought it could only be lab leak and accepted

I live in central oregon, so I can only speak for where I live. But the power outages we did have, or that I know about, were mostly from wildfire season. However, I just know about my general area and that is not necessarily that same for

I can't remember if I heard it in a Jim Keller interview or somewhere else, but I think students also helped initially design the ISA for RISC-V also.

I'd say it is probably because we are all worst at writing code than we'd like to imagine. So writing necessarily complex code, especially in a FOSS compiler or system, makes little sense since some day someone else is going to ha

I don't exactly agree. Sure end users don't care about implementation directly. But simplicity of implementation does affect them indirectly. Go is already over 10 years old with maybe many more years ahead. All code bases rot. I

Not only that, but there is more going on than just auditing. If Apple spent the time necessary to constantly do deep security dives, and spent the money on top talent to do it, it still wouldn't get done because it is constantly a mov

Yea. Especially saying the Android permission list is ludicrous, that sums about a majority of apps in existence, even from 'good ole American' companies.

But yet we teach our kids about the Boston Tea party, which was essentially a riot, but that one was justified. The revolution was one big riot. Its not so black and white.

I don't know if it would be a direct 1-to-1 replacement of docker, but have your checked out the project CBSD? It makes it quiet easy to stand up VMs and jail environments and even handles quiet a bit of the vnet stuff?

The thing here is, it never technically was. The issue in the past was vendors either writing the drivers like they do windows, but for linux, or producing technical documentation so someone could. Instead, there were lots of times years an

A comment I put for someone else that answers this. Because those who succeed in a market end up with the money to influence policy. That is why that is important. Policy affects markets which then affects policies. It is a concept in capit

I think that is the idea, but it doesn't work in practice because, well people. Really useful electronics are harder to get or have been hard to get, but yet if I wanted to buy my daughter a twerking llama toy, I'd have no issue w
