This is simply not true. Starvation isn’t the only thing that kills people - they die of easily treatable medical issues all the time because of lack of health insurance. Unhoused people die of exposure every summer and winter.

Are kernel maintainers not unpaid volunteers?

Yeah I had convinced myself that I would only do it for a year and be able to retire much much sooner.

I once applied for a “database admin” job at one of the big credit card companies. The job description was basically “run all our Oracle databases” and the salary was in the mid 2 millions USD, but I assumed that figure was typo’ed or something ( an extra 0 maybe?)

In the interview I learned that there was no typo and it was to be one of the seven people on the planet that run the databases for this credit card processor. They said “if the database goes down then we are losing billions of dollars a minute”.

Anyways I didn’t get the job, but they’re not all underpaid.

My business daddy pays for my Apple machine and it’s great for ssh-ing into various cloud-based Linux boxes.

IDF can probably find entrances that are in use, but probably can’t easily detect how those entrances connect to each other, or what is actually in the tunnels (a weapons cache? Communications bunker? Hostages? Nothing?) Not to mention emergency exits or booby traps. If IDF seals an entrance, how do they know there isn’t a back door that nobody uses regularly? How do they know they aren’t sealing hostages inside too?

Like when I’m going from my shift at my first job to my shift at my second job?

A German once sent a dozen giant rabbits to North Korea in order to kick start a giant rabbit breeding program there. The intent was to help them overcome a famine, but instead the rabbits were all eaten at Kim il Sung’s birthday party.

I’ve never heard of k8s described as a modern implementation of a Linux distro. What makes you say that?

Do you have the questions right now? If so, ask away.

X11 because it’s what I already have installed.

When I have/want to make a change then I’ll go with Wayland :)

What’s wrong with ls?

I used to fill out metadata like it was a hobby. Albums were in organized folders “artist/album/disc no. - track no. . track title.mp3”. Some had release year and composer metadata lol
