so next we can expect a tirade from Hans Reiser now that ReiserFS was deleted from the kernel?

“There are two types of people: those who back up and those who haven’t lost data … yet.”

you are acting extroverted to other introverts – how would you normally react towards daily greetings from an extrovert?

Vanilla OS is the Ubuntu derivative, Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be the Debian derivative

Mint is the gateway drug

“Intel inside, don’t divide”

checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit

take a look at Alpine Linux – Alpine, Void, and Gentoo all grew out of a similar “Linux plus BSD” attitude – Alpine’s package manager is as fast or faster than Void’s – Alpine is pretty under-represented (but not absent) on the desktop side of things while being rather over-represented in the container, VM, server side of things (meaning the small community tends to be rather admin heavy)

• there are currently two (?) fixes
  • “You memorized your BitLocker key, right?” – physical access to the computer to boot into safe mode, delete a file, and reboot
  • “Thoughts and prayers” – let the computer keep rebooting until it manages (somehow) to grab the fix in the lag or delays between reboots

and phased rollouts …

still read “unattended updates” as “unintended updates” …

“and that the lack of discussion with the community was ‘not in line with our values.’”

GitHub has managed to conflate “git” and “GitHub” in a lot of people’s minds (including people who should know better) – git may be decentralized, but to people who think git is GitHub, it’s meaningless

mind share – GitHub is the Coca-Cola of git, Codeberg and SourceHut are the RC Colas – people are already on GitHub, their projects are already on GitHub, their workflows are already on GitHub, their friends are already on GitHub, their co-workers are already on GitHub, and on and on …

it’s the same issue with Facebook – everyone knows Facebook is shit, but leaving Facebook means convincing your friends and family to leave Facebook, and convincing their friends and family to leave Facebook … outside of a global event like a pandemic, a nigh impossible task …

“Fuck you, pay me.”
