i’m surprised that there are any articles out there considering that it was over 10 years ago and the cause of death is going to be determined on whether or not you trust the police
this article has enough breadcrumbs to lead you into requisite rabbit holes that’ll help you understand why there’s controversy around his death: https://thehackernews.com/2015/12/debian-ian-murdock-died.html
they used to be a much larger part of the community when i first got into linux in the early aughts; i’m glad RTFM is no longer considered a reasonable response.
i had a similar thought; up until almost 3 years ago, i setup my browser’s agent string to always report that it’s running windows to get the good prices for online shopping.
the phone makers do and they’ll do whatever google wants them to do.
that’s a long winded way of saying westerners don’t have class solidarity. lol
is my keyboard dyslexia significant somehow? lol
of course there’s an xkcd comic of ti. lol
Debian is maintained by a group organized by a social contract
it’s amazing to see it still go on strong despite the police killing its founder and leader.
happens to me when i’m drunk; but not too drunk. lol
the financial crash looks likely and my inner pessimist expects it to be heralded by a nuke.
epstein has been supplanted by iran as the top story within the united states; a milestone of sorts that maps the trajectory of its infamy.
the bri reversal was a reference to the damage done to the industrial railway project in iran during the 12 day war w iran; now moot for obvious reasons.
it takes roughly 8 years to clear enough of the red brick road for each feature size. there a 3 feature size delta between china and the west, so that’s roughly 24 years. (my money’s on china to prove that the red brick wall is just a holdover from the western control. lol)
i hope that ukraine can figure out a way to turn it into leverage.
i’m going to be one of the last holdouts; refusing to switch to a chromium based browser. lol
sometimes i wish i could move to china.
my current laptop is probably an extreme example since i get around 4 hours of battery life on default fedora 43 workstation, but almost 8 hours (DOUBLE) on windows 11.
i’m aware that i can get longer battery life if i experiment with the power settings or try different power utilities (ie powertop), but i’ve learned from experience that the battery life will never be the same as it is using windows.
i’ve also learned from experience that only open source firmware projects like (ie coreboot) can give you the battery performance that can rival windows and mac and i got to enjoy that by buying linux-first laptops vendors with open source firmware on it like system76, tuxedo, etc.
the most irritating thing about the laptop i have now is that it will charge from 5% to 80% in 50 minutes when it’s running windows; but it takes almost 2 hours to do the same thing running fedora so i will probably buy from system76 again next time i need a new laptop. lol
i recommended this because i tried it once and it did work, however i learned the hard way that the image in the usb stick is different than the installed image and i had to use the usb stick’s image to find the exact module and configuration so that i could duplicate it on the installed image…fyi
and it too was a realtek nic. lol
this story is from 2 years ago and it’s working out well so far afaik.
try running off a fedora usb stick long enough for this issue to have been triggered in alpine to confirm if this is the case without wiping out your installation.
which file manager are you using? i have gnome’s files and it lets me specify the path by click on the current folder name and it looks like you’re using the same thing.
i bet they would isreal/us fire one barrage and then extend their nuclear umbrella around iran afterwards.
