are you being deliberately obtuse or do you expect other people to do everything for you?

no body shaming please

I stated the version number (17.10), the release notes are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes

With Wayland there was time to work on a lot of the kinks before everyone started seriously switching.

Not if you were using Ubuntu in 2017 when they switched to Weston as the default display server for 17.10 and lots of people suffered a great deal from how half-baked the project was at the time. For me personally, the 17.10 upgrade failed to start the display server and I ended up reinstalling completely, then in 18.04 they set the default back to XOrg and that upgrade also failed for me, resulting in another reinstall.

I have no doubt that this single decision was responsible for a large amount of the Wayland scepticism that followed.

bluesky is bad and mastodon is the only way forward

Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.

Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.

Gentoo users in shambles

I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C

Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.

There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy

I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.

The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.

Nothing in the licensing scheme changed, at all.

This statement is incorrect. The SDK had specific source files placed exclusively under the SDK license, and the remainder of the repository dual licensed between GPL 3 and the SDK license. So the licensing scheme did change.

I get why you’d suggest the previous commenter is out of touch with what users want, but what does that have to do with being a software engineer?

I’ve had this one in my images folder for at least a couple of decades. No idea where I saved it from:

Fuck Zuck.

The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?

GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:

Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.
