Ah today’s bothsidesism

if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

I would like to ban the Midwest from using the word salad. their misunderstanding of it will hurt someone sooner or later.

It’s probably confusing people already who never rented VHS tapes

Honestly it got pretty visible during the height of the covid pandemic: https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-68c9762a4420094d300f9cbada0186f8

Not sure how much worse you could make it.

Where do I sign up?

I’ve had the reverse. I started using arch because debian didn’t have my wifi driver yet.

Oh look the gold bugs are back

Oops should have cropped earlier. It is invisible on mobile

They really just can’t get a break. When they take money from Google they get attacked. When they try to create other revenue streams (pocket, vpn, etc.) they get attacked. I don’t think you want the browser to be a paid for subscription product and the donations aren’t enough to reliably cover browser development.

Maintaining and keeping secure a large standards compliant browser is decidedly expensive. And most of the expenses are not one off they are ongoing.

Those are Mayan numerals for those curious

Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it’s a cult.

I will not stand slander of the arch wiki.

Also start with Linux Mint XFCE (unless they’ve fixed the stability problems with cinnamon)

Most of the drivers should be in the kernel already unless its gpu stuff but I have to do that by hand on Windows too

Make sure the OOM killer is configured correctly. Or just buy more ram

I feel personally attacked. Yes I’ve actually done this (minus sending them money). I had a server (that I am pretty sure sent headers to the effect that it ran x86) which had some logs indicating someone had tried to download an arm IOT botnet onto it. So I downloaded it and tried running it through a decompiler. I found a UPX stub. The rest was compressed. So I tried the UPX unpacker. This didn’t work because it was built with a modified copy of UPX. So I hauled out a raspberry pi, reflashed the OS and tried running it in GDB in hopes of just dumping the unpacked bit from memory. Nothing. So I downloaded qemu and set up an aarch 64 arm 9 image still nothing. So I tried 32 bit arm again in qemu. At this point I gave up
