Not sure what you're on about, most package managers have a literal database of most package manager installed files. Debian and derivatives have dpkg --verify or debsums to verify the files, arch has paccheck, I'm sure other distros have something similar. And fixing them is just a matter of reinstalling the package, which you can do from a chroot if the system won't boot.

Or you can just run your system on a checksumming FS like btrfs which will instantly tell you when a file goes bad.

Yay, fan club.

I was just introducing someone to Rodney last night because some actor in a show we saw looked a bit like him. Then I wake up and see this here. Life sure has funny coincidences sometimes.

It's not over... It's joever!

Shame he didn't have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.

Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

I guess it's too much to ask the richest company on the planet to keep a list of a few accounts indefinitely. I'm sure that database is a whole gigabyte sized and maintaining it requires a whole person to check in on it once in a while. Obviously they can only afford that level of effort for a year or two. And we're only taking about removing access from millions of people to something they paid good money for, and also doing it because. Yeah, I'm with you on this one, totally not their fault.

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones...

All public companies are, it's just what Boeing makes things that fall out of the sky if they mess up, so it's more obvious.

I really like gnome the software, but I've started considering moving away from it after a decade simply because of how toxic and difficult gnome the project can be.

Seems to me that a lot of the world's problems start with "well, the managers think..." They all seem extremely bad at the whole managing thing, good thing we don't overpay them or anything like that.

It's an American obsession.
