unless it’s derived from Latin “Wug*, wugīs” in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye).

Wouldn’t a wug, wugis group noun be wuges plural?

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

…

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

…

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.

Correct. A piece of paper with the golden (aspect) ratio would have the property that if you remove the large square (with side length equal to the shortest side of the rectangle) then the remaining rectangle has the same (golden) aspect ratio.

The ISO216 ratio of 1:sqrt(2) has the property that if you cut the paper in half then both halves have the same aspect ratio as the original larger piece.

People tend to confuse these two properties as they both involve the remaining rectangle having the same aspect ratio as the original piece, but the process to bisect the sheet is different.

For anyone that has to wait for their distro package manager before they get this update, here is a workaround for the most annoying bug (losing the ability to drag/re-order tabs in Firefox):

If the bug is present, you will find that drag-and-drop functionality has seized working in Firefox and it is not possible to select and drag drop images, texts, URLs, tabs etc.

4 Either restart Firefox or do the following to restore drag-and-drop functionality:

a Open another application like a text editor.

b Enter some random text, select it en drag it unto the URL-bar area in Firefox.

This will cause Firefox to try and open the selected text as if it were a URL.

c After this, try step 1 again to see if drag-and-drop functionality has returned.

That wasn’t the point of OP’s post. They’re saying that people who want to opt out from this search data telemetry must also opt out of all telemetry, which means privacy conscious users will be under-represented in Mozilla’s telemetry data (selection bias). This could lead to worse privacy-related decisions from Mozilla in future.

If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.

I didn’t even mention Github, I just quoted from the video description.

a really odd way of using Git

Git was literally designed for kernel development.

Is Hyprland violating someone’s copyright?

These are not Drew’s words, he is quoting something said by the project dev. The context that the previous commenter ommitted is:

Following my email conversation with Vaxry, he appeared on a podcast to discuss toxicity in the Hyprland community. This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns […] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.

KSMBD is also important in that placing such core server functionality right inside the kernel represents a significant potential attack surface for crackers. As one comment on Hacker News said “Unless this is formally proven or rewritten in a safer language, you’ll have to pay me in solid gold to use such a CVE factory waiting to happen.”

Words to live by.

I started the video thinking “huh, that’s neat I guess” and then I was more and more impressed as the video went on. This would be pretty revolutionary in how it could change your workflow. It’s the kind of feature that would get me to switch from Gnome to KDE if it was only supported fully in the latter.

The key thing to know is that a client can do an HTTP HEAD request to get just the Content-Length of the file, and then perform GET requests with the Range request header to fetch a specific chunk of a file.

This mechanism was introduced in HTTP 1.1 (byte-serving).
