“perhaps” “I think”

In short you’ve got no clue.

In authoritarian environments, any compassion you show the declared enemy is a grave offense and needs to be punished severely.

5 minutes of internet fame.

The russian soldiers are in an awful predicament in this war. But they are still the aggressors and Ukraine has the right (obligation even, seeing what Russia tends to do to civilian population it conquers) to defend itself against them…and as awful as these weapons are, they have not been used in an illegal way here according to international law (something that Russia doesn’t give a flying fuck about, btw.).
Personally, I don’t see a moral issue here though I of course would prefer if noone had to die of which only happens in the case of Putin withdrawing his troops right now.

Couldn’t it be possible to set a script that restarts jitsi as that user’s login shell?

Play on Linux has been succeeded by Lutris or Bottles. I’ve tried both and personally I have fewer issues with Lutris but Bottles UI is a lot more intuitive. So I’d suggest trying Bottles first and if you run into issues use Lutris.

The clear cut of state data, pillar data and formulae feels more intuitive to me than Ansible’s playbook organization.

I use SaltStack to automate my servers. Just feels better than Ansible to me.
For my PC and laptop I don’t do anything, I haven’t hopped distribution since I started using Tumbleweed a few years ago.

The main distribution we use has it like that by default and our (admittedly rudimentary) benchmarks haven’t shown much of a performance difference versus ext4 so we kept to the default.

We use btrfs for the / partition and xfs for any data partitions. Has served us well, the snapshot feature saves us some valuable time when an update goes awry.

That 0.18mb accumulates quickly on the server’s side if you have 10000 people trying to access that image at the same time. And there are millions it not billions of images on the net. Just because we have the resources doesn’t mean we should squander them…that’s how you end up with chat apps taking multiple gigabytes of RAM.

I agree that the code is probably poor but I doubt it was a conscious decision to crash the OS.

The code is probably just:

1. Load config data
2. Do something with data

And 2 fails unexpectedly because the data is garbage and wasn’t checked if it’s valid.

Problem is that software cannot deal with unexpected situations like a human brain can. Computers do exactly what a programmer tells it to do, nothing more nothing less. So if a situation arises that the programmer hasn’t written code for, then there will be a crash.

Most Video Games work on Linux these days.

Anti-Cheat software is usually still a problem though due to their invasiveness that cannot be handled easily.

Same thing that happened at Boeing.

Openstreetmap is really good…except for the detailed information about shops which is why I still use Google Maps if I need to know opening hours and other information.
OSM is just not widespread enough to be on the radar of shop owners to put their information on it themselves so volunteers have to do it. :/

If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that’s coming your way eventually.

In that case why block the add-ons in the first place? There is a risk that the “Mozilla is blocking privacy friendly add-ons on the behest of an authoritarian regime!” news will become more widely known than any correction. If it had been a planned PR move then any person involved in it should never work in marketing again.

I was thinking the whole week if I should vote the greens or the pirates but due to the recurring campaigns to establish a surveillance state I did end up voting pirates. Incredibly disheartened they didn’t get a seat :(

I remember warning labels on BIOS updates that basically said that if nothing is broken, don’t do the update because the risk of bricking the device did not outweigh any potential benefits. That vendors are now pushing mandatory BIOS updates through Windows Update is terrifying.
