Altering links to add affiliate tags, selling data… privacy my ass.
No garage door uses a keyed switch like that, thanks for playing.
A quotation circulates on the Internet, attributed to me, but it wasn’t written by me.
Here’s the text that is circulating. Most of it was copied from statements I have made, but the part italicized here is not from me. It makes points that are mistaken or confused.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.
He actually added to the pasta…
It’s all 404 now, all the github pages are gone, the repo is gone.
Of course the first example would be that. No, you can’t screw kids. Internalize that as fact.
It is if at least two people say it is. Rocks with holes in them were money once, but nobody today would agree it is so today it isn’t. If at least two people agree that something is money then it is by definition regardless of what a Wall Street sociopath says.
So because Wall Street says it can’t be money that means it isn’t?
Last time I compiled a kernel it was on a bus-overclocked K6-3/500 (higher bus, lower multiplier).
Get Brother. Epson works but it’s more fiddly, I haven’t tried a Canon in a long time.
You’re going to use a 10 core 64GB machine as a firewall? Do you mow your lawn with dynamite also? 🤣
A post encouraging people to remove Reddit news from their feeds would also fit here.
You don’t say. 🙄
If you think removing news from a feed from them doesn’t fit here then I’m not sure what the point of any post here is tbh.
You’re looking for complexity where there is none. It’s Chrome.
The news feed thing in Chrome, I blocked reddit in it.
It does not require an internet connection to use!
It’s messed up that that’s a selling point.
He was always an idiot, he had South African mine money to waste is the difference between him and the idiots you already know.
It could still have branded firmware even if it isn’t carrier locked though. Did you buy it directly from Samsung as an unbranded unlocked phone?
