I’m always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about…20-25 years so far I guess :-p

Exactly. I keep hearing this “they’re taking our jobs” argument, and it’s been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it’s been generally an upward trend.

I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

I know a guy who just says he stacks shelves at Tesco as he cannot be bothred to explain 😂

It’s the best characteristic of English, I think. It’s alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

“a nudge?” on a fucking motorway? JFC peoples misunderstanding of physics is terrfiying.

I’m not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I’ve never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

I think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn’t have.

As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It’s the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you’ve described, but I don’t think this is one of them.

It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

I don’t understand what this means.

Because the first thing Nero does when he arrives back in time is destroy the USS Kelvin (the ship where Kirk’s father is killed), and thus setting that universe off onto its new timeline. It could have been called anything, but someone decided on that one thing.

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

Exactly. These things should not have been named or their faces publicised. They should not get attention.

I think that’s a bit over simplified. Do you think they’d be able to understand Shakespeare? Or a spell book from the same time as Shakespeare? There’s a reason we continue to teach English until a child leaves secondary/high school.

I think the OP meant that if they all stopped learning maths at 10, and there was no English class at Hogwarts, they probably stopped learning to read at 10 as well (well, the Muggles anyway, there’s no mention of how the Wizards learn anything before 11 I don’t think?).

I just start every command with a space, don’t see the issue.

2024 Bindependence Day!

The hero we need

…Surprise?

No mention of Rolls Royce’s mini-reactors in there seems a bit suspect.
