I just feel that it’s technically wrong to call it x64. x86 is the architecture. The x belongs there, so x86-64 makes more sense, but not “x64”. It’s a marketing term, but it still bothers me.

Isn’t “x64” still an x86 architecture?

Ok good point, maybe the kids today never heard Jokkmokks-Jocke?

How about Jokkmokk?

The picture called “Upstream and Prism programs” has the old logotypes for Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, and the old garamond version of the google logo, they must have been doing this for a while.

Peter Sunde said that the show is not a fair description of what happened and that it’s missing the focus on what was important.

As a man, I wish clothes would make me feel desirable. I have asked my girlfriend which clothes she would like to see me in, but she says it’s not about the clothes. That it doesn’t matter. It’s more about what I do. So I just dress in plain, comfortable, practical clothes which makes me, well, practical. Useful. I often wish I had options to just be desired for my body, without the pressure to achieve this or that to be desirable. It’s a source of sadness for me.

The last time my grub was broken was around 2012 when I ran Arch. After that I have rarely thought about grub at all.

Could you give us your opinions on what you would change about bash if you could go back in time and just decide how it was?

The Acme editor (and Sam) begs to differ. Sadly it’s hard to find a mouse that can do mouse chording today.

What about the proposal to just drop the name openSUSE with no replacement? And let each distro just be called Tumbleweed, Leap, Aeon, etc.

It seems likely that the person who told OP meant it in the misused way, which makes the intent to intimidate clear.

Fedora/Redhat is a good example. It could be argued that the Linux distro scene was different 23 years ago, making it harder to be seen today.

The thing I’m pondering is what the openSUSE community actually is. Does it exist as a group, or is it separate projects, each doing their own thing… for who? What is the overlap between people in the various distros, overlap in technology used in packaging and QA etc? Is it meaningful to talk about openSUSE as a distinct community separate from SUSE?

I’m not sure. A few years ago I remember that OpenBSD expected ASCII for files, but I think Linux expects utf-8. I could be wrong though.

Unicode in filenames can be a bad idea, since there are more than one way to achieve what looks like the same character. So matching patterns could fail if you think it’s one way, but it’s actually another representation in unicode.

When I hear openSUSE, I think of german engineering and resources from SUSE, with a history of innovating great infrastructure.
With a new name, distanced from the SUSE part, I’ll probably feel more like if this is yet another random derivative created by a small group who might soon lose interest.

So, part of this is (I’m thinking) that supporting the companies selling Linux phones would be a good thing. Expanding the market, funding research and prototypes for future products, etc. Is there a user consensus of which companies/phones would be the best bet for this? I’ve read a lot of conflicting reviews. Or, which are popular phone models people use?

This is what I don’t understand, how will the EU enforce Chat Control when we can use software that doesn’t implement backdoors? Maybe the EU will be happy to get the majority of messages from the mainstream proprietary apps, but what if they want to get the rest too? I’m worried that this will lead to very bad places. Could they ban F-Droid? Will I end up on a list if I use unauthorized software? Who knows.
