@EUCommission do you know what journalists need to be free? Safe, encrypted channels of communication that can't be easily sniffed on and censored by their governments. Talking about press freedom when #ChatControl is considered again is circus behaviour.

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

I am reminded of Pulse on BeOS, which would allow you to disable CPUs on a multiprocessor system by simply unchecking a box in the UI.
There was nothing stopping you from disabling all CPUs.

@foone maybe the author doesn't know what RAM is and all state is saved by directly mem-mapping the exe?

@xgqt it was mostly working in 2024 https://catfox.life/2024/09/05/porting-systemd-to-musl-libc-powered-linux/
AFAIK the main problem is that the venn diagram of people liking systemd enough to work on it and people liking musl enough to work on it is two nearly separate circles. So there's nobody to flesh it out.
I love when an article looks like it would be bait, but it's just… true.

For 20 years Mozilla has developed one of, if not the most useful tools that web developers have.

Congratulations to the MDN team on such an awesome milestone. I'm happy that we've played some small part in its history and I'm excited to see how it continues to be central to every web developers job.

After helping five friends in the last two months transition from #windows to #linux here are my thoughts:
1. Show case both #kde and #gnome before you pick it form them. 2/5 Decided to try KDE because it reminded them of Windows and the rest wanted Gnome because they where tired of windows UI
2. Do not fill their head with distros, go with one where it is easy to get support. I went with @fedora as it is the one I know best and like the resource for. So far only one has swapped (to Ubuntu)
