How do you propose to enforce such an idea? Some sort of… birthday testimony? Some sort of… oneness corroboration?

A software respository containing user identifying information - what could go wrong. Let’s install them on all our phones! /s

Leap 16, and yeah the web app OS installer is called Agama.

RIP YaST

I’m sure there are advatages to making web apps over regular software for OS’s and that supply attacks can happen anywhere… but the idea this is unavoidable is insanity. Stop making reckless “modern” web apps.

Speaking of “modern web apps” does OpenSUSE still use Firefox as an installer? When I tried the new major version on release I watched a browser unexpectedly open and slowly load a page. Coming from a snappy dedicated installer of prior versions, this made me question if I had downloaded malware.

Looks like unemployment is in my future, fucking fantastic 🙃

I don’t care how good someone thinks they are - eventually they will fall to temptation and fail to resist the bad incentives placed on them by a system.

If a government is elected under a winner-take-all (first-past-the-post) voting system then there is no incentive to change that system to solve gerrymandering (also the spoiler effect and misrepresentation error). I hope it is possible for an newly elected party to quickly implement a representative voting system after winning on an unrepresentative one.

From their perspective voting 3rd party has the same result as not voting at all - that’s an issue which main parties do not offer to solve.

Only a tiny portion of people are actually psychopaths who would knowingly choose the worst option for everyone.

If the voting system trends towards two bad options which both get worse every year, how much does their vote reflect what they really want?

Personally I’d have little interest in Linux if not for it’s free software license.

Would Linux’s license not count as about Linux? I don’t know if this is the case here but there’s a lot of companies that sell hardware running Linux and refuse to follow the license, e.g. by providing source code.

Normally the copyright holder has to take them to court to enforce copyleft licenses like the AGPL. Hopefully we will soon find out if users can also enforce it, as a 3rd party beneficiary under contract law.

Thank you for your reply. Sadly I don’t know terms like covariant or supertype either 😅 so I’ll have to look into all that when/if it comes up. I write in GDScript for fun (a game engine’s high-level scripting language said to have syntax similar to Python).

Invariant?

Hurd rescently became an option with Gentoo Linux (experimentally). Debian offers it too.

GNU stands for “GNU’s not Unix”, which itself means ‘GNU’s not Unix not Unix’. If two nots logically undo each other then you might say GNU is Unix but in programming you would likly apply one assignment at a time: expressed as GNU = ! Unix = Unix or simply GNU’s not Unix.

A middle finger to those you’re jailbreaking from.

Medical experts have come around to homosexuality not being a disease since the 70’s (in USA) so I’d hope the mentality you speak of is diminished now.
