Kernel yes, but coreutils? It’s ls, sleep, who, pwd, and so on.

I know, but do they? Has big tech contributed to the code base significantly for coreutils specifically? sed and awk or ls has been the same as long as I remember, utf8 support has been added, but I doubt apple or google was behind that.

Do large tech companies contribute a lot to the GPL coreutils?

Was the wish also to ride it?

By that logic proprietary licenses are best for desktop OSs because Windows has the biggest market share?

Time for nethack.

The way I understand it is that the security team supports releases for 5 years. If you are running an older version of ubuntu than that and want security backports, you need to get the extended support. The difference in Debian is that when a release is too old, the security team simply doesn’t backport security fixes. You can pay someone to do it, but it’s not a part of what Debian as a project does.

Yes. You can get it with proton too, but you need your own domain for that iirc.

You also get SMTP with posteo, if that is important to you.

That card game isn’t called that anymore, but 20 years ago it was the standard name for a well-known card game.

The current government promised they would be “tough on crime” but have been largely unsuccessful in reducing gang related criminality. Now they are trying to find new tools to get to the leaders of those gangs. Sadly, they don’t understand technology.

Exactly, we both get what we want, everyone is happy. I’m just saying that it’s important for both of us to have the relevant information so we can make our choices. Which this app provides. So that’s good.

As long as there is transparency, users can choose. Personally, I would rather not use a service at all than have ads or tracking.

How did it go? I use ed once in a while, but honestly just for fun, I wish I had time to learn it better.

I have a cycle that goes like this:

1. I just want a system that works. (Fedora)
2. The UNIX philosophy is cool. (OpenBSD)

Repeat every 6 months or so. I’m never happy with my current system.

I wonder how much is philosophy and how much is not wanting legal troubles. Those things aren’t contradicting of course.

That was an interesting read. I am even more confused about the community part. When Debian switched to systemd it was a very… lively public discussion with lots of people stating their opinions. It seems to me like the opensuse world is different.

I have a perception based mainly on a feeling, but is it true that the opensuse community is mainly Suse employees actually deciding what happens?

Ken Thompson uses Raspberry Pi OS, he said that he switched from Apple to RPi OS maybe two years ago.
