Also, canonical decided to try and solve the same ‘problem’ in a different, equally convoluted way.

If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?

Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won’t work out of the box everywhere.

Yeah, but that’s just the kernel. Anything above that (window manager, the utilities that they didn’t outright copy from BSD, apps, …) is basically closed source.

One thing it claimed was the ability to rewrite copy. Basically finally an improvement over spellcheck which has been the same for like 20 years. Would be nice to have something better built into the OS in every text field.

You could also have stuff like suggestions in your terminal when you’re starting to write a command based on what’s in the man pages and the layout of your filesystem.

Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it’s going to work its way upstream hopefully.

Oh no, there’s communists involved in my free global collaborative software project!

Still funny that there’s a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn’t think that would ever happen 20 years ago.

My issue is that the only time I use vim or nano it’s because I’m logged into some server where you’re going to be stuck with the defaults anyway. I guess it’s nice on your home machine, but customising a bunch of servers with your personal preferences isn’t really something you can do in most work situations.

Definitely worked for me.

I guess the thinking is that in the past economic growth has been the way governments dealt with paying back debts (or making them look smaller as part of the GDP). Instead of raising taxes or issuing currency to pay back debt, you’d grow the tax base by growing the economy.

MMT is currently challenging this thinking obviously, and the answer to this (as with every other challenge we’re facing, like inequality, pollution, corruption, …) is taxing the rich, not somehow procreating more.

If managed well, a slowly shrinking population can be managed without too much issues and would allow us to live within our planetary means, which are the real contraints on the economy and our survival.

Damn, even your slurs get maximum privacy.

Does anyone know where you can get the Thunderbird branded package?

Red Hat used to pay the main ones, not sure if that’s still the case post-IBM acquisition.

I used to use it back in the day, but I switched to streaming and don’t really have a use for a desktop music player any more.

It was good (smart playlists being a killer feature), but didn’t quite look like other apps.

Aren’t these things tied to an Apple ID with personalised setup? Can you even factory reset these things and walk into the Apple store to get it set up again?

Which is something typically only the maintainer/admin has rights to.

Presumably they removed it all before launch. What I don’t get is how they didn’t figure out who did this (unless it’s mentioned later on in the article, I gave up after it got rambly), don’t they use version control?
