Compared to rants Linus is famous for, this is polite.

Laughs in 15 virtual desktops

Forums got replaced by reddit and stackoverflow, which both turned to shit after gaining dominance.

Stackoverflow still can answer most of the Linux administration questions that do not involve writing a custom piece of software.

I have a waist-high CD rack with music and games that’s collecting dust for 15 years. If I finally throw it away, and someone picks it up from a garbage bin, will I become a pirate too?

Google was already doing that for years. Most of Firefox users use it because it’s leaner than Chrome and supports adblockers. None of these advantages will suddenly disappear, but Chrome will inevitably become worse all by itself, and more users will migrate away from it to Firefox.

So Firefox strategy should be to simply not screw up by adding unnecessary stuff like AI.

wcsoll in the picture is an error, unless it’s Welsh.

The obvious choice is 8-------------------------------------------------------------D.com

Unfortunately D will become d in a browser URL field.

In my country they are, as long as they passed a certification.

Windows is afraid of me

Plasma, with the taskbar on the side, and 15 virtual desktops.

Nope. The server receives UDP packet from WiFi and sends reply over Ethernet, which simply gets lost in your router. From the Linux side there’s no error, it sent the packet somewhere, and what happens next is your router’s problem.

It’s perfectly possible on Linux to have several network adapters with the same IP address, or several default routes.

Most server applications will listen to 0.0.0.0 address, which means all network interfaces. Any incoming TCP connection will remember it’s network interface, and the server will send responses to the same interface.

This will not work for UDP connections, and for outgoing TCP connections - they will always choose the network interface with the lowest metric, which you can print with ip r command.

This does not include advanced techniques like bridge or bonding or iptables routing - you need to run special commands in the terminal, which you cannot do just by clicking your mouse in system settings app.

Hey, wait, hear me out. What if you could get beautiful, animated, AI-generated illustrations on each page? With AI summarising more boring parts of the book, so you will get more plot per page while reading less text. And after finishing the book, just keep turning the pages to read AI-generated sequel. There is also ‘18+’ button, which will generate a scene of passionate sex between main characters at the end of each chapter.

Green paint will be extra $2000.

garbagee

That’s a part of garbage. A person belonging to a local trash dump. I know several such people.

garbager

That would be you. The person emptying your trash bin should be called degarbager.

The story of Vesperik the Were-bat, who is not at all interested in drinking blood and only wants to hang out with his harpy and pegasus friends in the local Sky Travelers club, but somehow vampires keep finding him and offering him an ‘eternal life’ with a position of lover/butler/bodyguard and other inappropriate things.

Fast food is already as automated as it can be. Replacing cooks with robot kitchen is looks good as a management dream, but anyone who tried it quickly discovers that you need industrial robots, and they are fuckng expensive, and you need engineers anyway to maintain them. So you are replacing cheap cooks with outrageously expensive engineers.

“But no”, some ignorant CEO says, “we’re not assembling cars, we don’t need pneumatic robot arm that can lift 10 tons”. Yeah, you still need a robot arm, and it’s just a miniaturized industrial robot, not any much cheaper.

But robot kitchen exist, and they are actually very profitable. Go to your nearest grocery shop. 99% of items on the shelves were produced by a robot. Everything in a plastic wrap, everything in a jar, was produced on a conveyor. Even fresh produce involves some kind of automation.

So robots won’t fry your potatoes, because french fries have really short shelf life. Otherwise they totally could, but hiring a cook is cheaper.
