Ah yeah, missed that 🤦‍♂️

Because this is the internet, I can’t tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder…

I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won’t even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there’s not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

And “if you’re not paying you’re the product” is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.

Perhapsburg they are

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

The phrasing of “First actual case of bug being found” definitely sounds like it’s a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say “a literal bug lol”.

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn’t say that Hopper invented the term

I had a “T-Mobile MDA Vario II” (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:

That’s the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (or TMobile G1). I loved this phone, even if it was chronically underpowered.

The term you want is “cross compile”. I’ve developed simple programs for the Pi on Windows and it’s simple enough to produce a static binary (using Rust, anyway). When extra dependencies come in it’s better to develop on the same OS, but targeting different architectures is the easy bit.

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

The source story is worth a read.

Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management

Incredible.

she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship

Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?

[The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network

No-one’s coming out of this looking good.

Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.

It just keeps going!

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

For me it’s the Intellivision with its controllers that were attached with phone cords and those plastic inserts that would customise the controller for each game.

I think we only had one game, Triple Action (although only the tanks and biplanes were worth playing).

My parents’ house still has more vintage tech than most computer museums.

it would’ve been nice if Gentoo’s docs were better than/highly competitive against Arch’s docs.

I think it’s fair to say that the Arch wiki is larger and covers more areas, but if there’s a Gentoo page on the same topic, the Gentoo one will be as good/better.

Arch is more popular, and so has more contributors (e.g. recent edits for Gentoo vs Arch).

Ha, yeah - the Arch wiki calls it a “service manager” although OpenRC describes itself as a “dependency-based init system”. When I wrote that reply I’d started to be more pedantic about the terms but changed it to reflect my core problem that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison to compare all of systemd to the underlying init system (you see loads of “are you using OpenRC or systemd” posts but never systemd vs sysvinit).

That doesn’t sound heatlhy.

Both distros […] are based on the Linux kernel

Err, bad start.

The kernel section is confused or just wrong. Arch has you use pacstrap to install a pre-built kernel (there are options from almost-vanilla to more custom), whereas Gentoo gives you the choice of using vanilla or Gentoo kernel sources (optionally with custom configuration) or just using a pre-built binary.

The Gentoo wiki used to be the gold standard, even for non-Gentoo users, but it was an unofficial wiki and a hard-drive crash (if memory serves) killed it with no backups. It was mostly restored with help after that.
Nowadays, I think more people use the Arch wiki.

Gentoo has package binaries available, although that’s a newer thing and if you use unusual USE flags you’ll need to compile your own anyway.

By default, Gentoo uses the older sysvinit system

Weird to put it this way, since Gentoo is well known for its use of OpenRC which is what you’d use instead of systemd. Both are common on Gentoo systems.

I’m stopping here - the whole article feels off, perhaps it’s AI-written? I’d recommend finding a better source.
