I don’t know if it’s that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it’ll exclusively deal with the kernel.

Are reading what you write? It’s linux so it isn’t?
I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.
Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.
After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly
Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar
Being alone with humans on a forest happens all the time. Hiking is a thing. And while I do grant you that rarely fucked up people do fucked up shit, most of the time absolutely nothing happens. At most there’s some nodding.
I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn’t take that much to validate these things
The US customary units are officially defined on top of metric, and 1 fl oz is 29.5735295625 mL, but an oz is 28.349523125 g. I imagine this decision was just to fuck with people (since 1ml of water weighs 1g at sea level, at 4°)
The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn’t force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.
Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.
But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough
Yeah, and ide only supported 4 drives at a time in most systems
What? Using uuids is the solution to having to change the file (that, or stable name rules). You can also use labels if you want to.
2x4 is (supposedly. I bet they have optimized this down too) the size of raw lumber before it was finished, that needs to remove some material off each side.
The biggest problem is that Windows still calls TiB and friends with si prefixes (so 1TiB shows as 1TB). MS has done this since DOS (but at least back then MiB didn’t exist. They could’ve used base 10 though).
I actually don’t know how many programs do this, but several check that file permissions are correct or refuse to work. Sudo and ash are 2 of them. I could see /etc/shadow being readable and writable by everyone being a problem too, but I don’t know.
Stable in the distro context refers to how often packages change. Sid (which is the one that’s broken in that) is not that. The other 2 are stable in that sense, but older software can sometimes be shaky on newer hardware.
What? The early Internet underseas cables were laid down for phones, mostly by private companies.
Firefox did it like 10 years ago. I think it’s still going around under a different name in very low tier smart phones.
Find me where it says you can’t charge or that you have to distribute source code to anyone
I think some distros disable using RSA by default. Might need to use it explicitly.
