It's also important to consider how what you view as a bug might not be one from the point of view of the person treating your issue. It is so, so infuriating to receive a "bug" report asking you to "fix" something

Oh it's not just Xi. He likes dictators and human rights abusers, even those that no one will touch with a ten foot pole. Most recently, he received Mohammed bin Salman at the Élysée.

There is definitely a tendency to authoritarianism and confusionism from the current government, directed at political opposition. "Security" laws extending the powers of the police and creating new ways to criminalize protest hav

> it's a common term for a special type of prison where from one location you can observe every prisoner at once. Which is kinda unsettling. At least it makes it clear how they view their users.

There is a "Système D" DIY magazine here in France, since 1924. I don't know if it is predated by the term or originated it. I remember that there is a big pile of old issues in my grandfather attic.

Also reboot, which is safe on Linux, but does an instant power cycle with no proper shutdown on others.

Towards 2014 or 2015 my previous work (some hosting company) had some AIX, Solaris and SCO, as well as some IBM i (aka OS 400) which isn't a Unix. AFAIK they were used because of choices of slow-moving/risk-averse big corps, mostl

The tight coupling, the non-portability, all of that are technical choices, that can be debated on their own merit without the need to attribute malevolent intentions to the developers. Projects merged changes because they wanted them, not

I wish we would do away with those nonsense traditions. I tend to ignore them but some correction softwares don't like it. Especially since they are incoherent between languages with no good reasons. English wants the dot in the quotes

According to the jargon file, ITS called daemons dragons and SAIL (whatever this is ?) called them phantoms. Add to that zombie processes on Unix and user rights angels from FreeBSD's capsicum and the fact that processes come from exec

Yeah kinda, but at least it's not every applications doing their own thing, it's the thing that runs applications, so assuming you only run sandboxed flatpak stuff, you end up with only one thing.

I kinda like that flatpak forces application created files to end up in a predictable place. Firefox, like plenty of applications, was doing its own thing despite XDG conventions (~/.config etc and associated env vars) being 20 or so y

I think you mean famicom. Unless I'm mistaken, the famicom and the 64 had floppy drives add-ons (FDS and 64DD), but I don't think the super famicom did. Unless you're speaking of 3rd party tools like those used to copy games,

As someone considering this setup, does this have any performance cost at all, even small ? Or is it totally identical, framerate and otherwise, to native ?

Just looked into this and I think it's worth mentioning that there are two different projects called `yq`. The first one that came up (written in go instead of python) is not the right one and doesn't have the `xq` tool.

Yes when reading the title I thought of <pwd.h> for reading passwd rather than of the command/variable. Also it's already called cwd in other places (like in /proc, at least on Linux) so that would be more consistent.

Anncient Unix also had chdir as the command name for cd. If I'm not mistaken it was changed to cd for v7 with the Bourne shell replacing the previous shell.
