Pretty brutal bug even though it was tied to a specific model.

The question is how soon.

The bubble can go on for a long time with circular financing schemes and it has full backing of the US gov.

It’s worth pointing out that lack of RIO has been a thing for a while now.

Is this a Linux distro for strip club employees?

Technically speaking it is hidden in a SRT subtitle file, but it’s not the like you can execute the SRT file, since it’s just text.

If you are downloading pirates movies, it makes sense to not click on on random stuff in the torrent/download that’s clearly not a media file.

I feel like I’ve been following Haiku (and ReactOS) for a quarter of a century. I believe I even installed BeOS with Haiku components (I think they originally functioned as a set of addons to the final BeOS release) way back in the day.

Why does LoongArch even need a 32-bit variant? Is this for embedded? Is LoongArch even suitable for embedded use cases (versus say those micro-controller designs from ARM, RISC-V or some of those fully custom embedded architectures)?

While it was previously reported that Samsung was only looking to manufacture ~20,000 to ~30,000 TriFold units, its quick sellout could be seen as a positive.

Is this 20-30K for the initial batch or lifetime? That’s a critical point.

Already at 3300, hopefully then can get above 25K pre-orders.

Almost reads like a parody/satire.

CDE is still around? I was under the impression that the remaining UNIX systems all used Gnome/KDE etc.

Haven’t used Kubuntu so can’t help you with that.

Regarding installing application from 3rd parties, there is no guaranteed way to know that what you’re installing is clean.

That being said, I would argue basic evaluations (how long has the project been around, does it get mentioned a lot in articles and forums, are there a lot of star and activity on the guthub page?) should be good enough for regular operational security.

One other general tip, try using Gemini (the LLM by Google) for real-time support and explanations around Kubuntu. I find it helpful for guidance on complex applications (ones that are far more niche than Kubuntu).

An excellent return on the $99 spent. :)

Funny to see a YT-style video from 1995.

I was curious about Yggdrasil and I found this little piece of history on Wikipedia:

A beta release was made on 18 February 1993.[4][7] The beta’s cost was US$60. LGX’s beta release in 1993 contained the 0.99.5 version of the Linux kernel, along with other software from GNU and X.[7] By 22 August 1993, the Yggdrasil company had sold over 3100 copies of the LGX beta distribution.[8]

Yggdrasil made $186,000 selling CDs with a beta version. Making CDs was probably much more expensive back then, but I am sure they got a volume discount for a run of ~3,000 units.

The release version was $99!

I tried OrganicMaps, but it was noticeably less usable than Google Maps.

When you actually need maps on mobile, UX issues and jank becomes extremely annoying.

BcacheFS seems to have been released around ~2019 and it’s still alpha?

One thing you don’t want to fuck around with is your file system. It’s one area of computing where conservatism is paramount.
