Manjaro does "stability" by delaying everything by two weeks. That doesn't really help at all and might hurt you for security updates, because those will wait the same two weeks.

It uses the Arch repos directly though

I really can't decide if this is serious or a joke

Y'all should fix your democracy to the point where this is a viable option

Which ones? I'm not aware of any besides specialised distros like SteamOS

Or, you know, a simple installer from the dev's website.

As a user there simply was/is no incentive to use other stores when the game is the same price. There has to be a reason for me to buy somewhere else.

My parents use both in (not at the same time) to avoid rsi

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it's quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

But that doesn't help if Mozilla goes away

 
 
 

Currently on holiday in Croatia; beautiful country etc etc, but what the hell is wrong with your drivers?

Outside of cities it feels like the only speeds known to mankind are 90km/h for one lane roads and 130km/h for those with two or more.

A speed limit of 80 or 100 on a highway? Completely ignored, unless it's a tunnel, then 100 is ok.

Some section of road outside of a city says 70, 60 or 50? Ignored, just drive through with 90.

Beautiful two-lane road (D424) from A1 to Zadar with a limit of 80, me doing 90 because that's OK somehow and most other cars overtake me with 20 km/h more at least.

So, what is wrong with your drivers?

 

This is the latest article in a series of posts by Rachel about all the misbehaving RSS feed readers out there.

 

TLDR: An AMI testkey was used in production by a bunch of manufacturers. The key has now been leaked.

Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows

This isn't a gloat post. In fact, I was completely oblivious to this massive outage until I tried to check my bank balance and it wouldn't log in.

Apparently Visa Paywave, banks, some TV networks, EFTPOS, etc. have gone down. Flights have had to be cancelled as some airlines systems have also gone down. Gas stations and public transport systems inoperable. As well as numerous Windows systems and Microsoft services affected. (At least according to one of my local MSMs.)

Seems insane to me that one company's messed up update could cause so much global disruption and so many systems gone down :/ This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.
