  1. Next step is invade Venezuela and pump as much oil as possible
  2. > the unified settings UI

    You will never have a UI capable of encompassing all the settings available in Linux. You will only have a UI capable of configuring your desktop experience, which is just a small subset of the full Linux experience.

  3. > Just recent months they introduced another bug to GNOME which probably will not be resolved in years. No big company wants to invest in desktop Linux and without investments it's just not good.

    Classic straw man: a single GNOME bug doesn’t mean all of desktop Linux isn’t worth investing in.

    Developers have been writing Linux desktop apps successfully for decades. Moreover, who cares about polished desktop apps when most apps are just web apps that look the same on all platforms?

    For the record, I despise web apps.

  4. Unfortunately there is a very affordable alternative solution:

    1. Massive population reduction (war is a very efficient way to achieve this)

    2. Birth control, to slow down population growth to a stable rate near 0

    3. Eugenics, to ensure only people with needed capabilities are born (brave new world)

    In this scenario, 500,000 people (less ?) in charge of millions of robots and a minority of semi-enslaved humans would freely enjoy control over the world. The perfect mix between Asimov and Huxley.

    All the agitation about "building a 1984-style world" is, at best, just a step toward this Asimov/Huxley model, and most likely, a deliberate decoy.

  5. What’s wrong with this?

    The purpose of Base64 is to encode data—especially binary data—into a limited set of ASCII characters to allow transmission over text-based protocols.

    It is not a cryptographic library nor an obfuscation tool.

    Avoid encoding sensitive data using Base64 or include sensitive data in your JWT payload unless it is encrypted first.

  6. Since October 1995 and the publication of RFC 1855.

    https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1855

    Communication has not been merely a matter of personal habit — it follows commonly accepted standards for exchanging information within a group. Ignoring these conventions risks your message being unread, unheard, or misunderstood.

    That said, it seems possible the author is intentionally addressing a specific subgroup that has agreed upon a different set of communication rules.

  7. You are absolutely right, the /etc/pooper file was never loaded.

    The code has been updated and now you can change the pooped char on the fly with something like :

    `echo "<WHATEVER UTF-8 CHAR>" | sudo tee /sys/module/pooper/parameters/char_utf8`

    /etc/pooper file and module unload/reload are no more needed :)

  8. Awesome! That actually inspired me to code this: https://codeberg.org/mco-system/pooper
  9. That is why, in the end, only robots will remain. They are inexhaustible and strictly meticulous in all circumstances.
  10. The challenge is not only stowing objects. It is also optimizing space and keeping it clean. In that matter robots are faster and better.
  11. I completely understand and fully agree with this idea even if I still have to see one political with a strong conviction that are not paid out in a way or another.

    Anyway, if the ideas illegally disseminated through this campaign material convinced the voter to choose this candidate over another, what other choice does he have ? Vote for someone that he wouldn't vote in the first place because of his opinion ?

    May be I'm wrong assuming people vote for ideas and opinion...

  12. So, you agree with the opinion stated in electoral material if it is marked as official campaign material but disagree with the same opinion if it is marked as paid marketing material?

    I would like to quote Spock here: "Fascinating..."

  13. You wouldn't want to live to see the day when the same situation happens on Linux servers.
