   It appears that you edited your comment above to make my "Wireshark won't decrypt encrypted traffic" comment look stupid. Nice try, so let me clarify... Facebook's market research app isn't "redirecting ALL IN

   My definition aligns with both definitions you described. Although I don't really have any hardware constraints that would stop me from running bash, zsh or fish, so my reasons for not wanting to use them, probably align better with y

   Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately zsh and fish are more bloated than bash, and dash and ksh are missing the features I use. I've just found "yash" which looks like a nice compromise. I'm going to give that a

   Seeing this release makes me cringe. I've used Bash as an interactive shell for decades but really I'm sick and tired of it. As a scripting language, I loathe it and really don't understand its purpose. I always write shell

    That's like asking why use "Stretch" for a Debian release. Anyone who doesn't know what Debian is might think it's a new version of the Toy Story character it's named after. Linux distribution naming conventi

    Is Sailfish really the viable alternative we are looking for? Back in the 90s we suffered from Wintel dominance where if you installed Linux on a PC, it was likely to be a less than pleasant experience due to missing drivers, etc. The mode

    That really depends on your definition of "supported". It does not form part of the base distribution, nor was there ever any paid support for it. A Debian developer built a deb package for it and added it to the "main"

    They also supported upstart but that was dropped in Stretch. We are left with systemd and System V init to provide /sbin/init. Debian still provides System V init which itself works fine but other packages, many of which previou

    I don't disagree, nor do I think Uber is entirely ethical. I was merely pointing out a few inaccuracies with RMS's assertions: - Uber cannot snoop on users' locations all of the time if they use the web interface. - Uber doe
