Eh I’ll take my downvotes.

In America, people […] worship the flag. People in Spain don't. Unless they are fascists.

No, no. You have it right. It’s the same in both places.

They dug up a WWI veteran and identified his remains by DNA in 1898? Very ahead of their time!

I think you might have a different understanding of support than most. Nobody’s saying that the code to run this 30-year-old hardware should be enabled by default nor that distros should have them included by default.

That’s very different from whether the code is in the kernel in case someone wants to compile a custom kernel that does support it. Source code that’s disabled doesn’t add bloat to running systems.

Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.

It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.

Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the [microwave] oven while it’s running.

You may be interested in the concept of “third shift”

The same reason that McAfee did?

/srv is for “site-specific data which is served by this system.”

How to interpret that is up to for debate, but it seems clearly to be “user files” as opposed to “system files”. “Served” is a bit ambiguous but I don’t think it really requires that it be made accessible with a network service.

Basically I’d treat this as a location to mount/store your non-personal data such as music, videos, etc that should be accessible to anyone using your system. It could be network-exported as well but doesn’t have to be.

/net is for files imported from the network.

There’s intel as well. Probably a few other small players. Is Matrox still around?

Because the instructions, “draw a brick here, a pipe there, here are the rules for how jumping works, etc.” are smaller than “these pixels are blue, that one is orange, that one is white, etc.”

No. I just don’t kid myself, I know I’ll never read it.

They produced episodes IV-VI. Mark Hammill and Anthony Daniel’s were among the film cast who reprised their roles.

It’s really good.

Almost certainly this:

They’re using it as a euphemism for poop. For some reason.

Better title: “Photographers complain when their use of AI is identified as such”

They’re not actually unconnected. The skills built on recreational software piracy simply remain useful for industrial software piracy and sanctions-avoidance.

Yeah, 486 DX4/100 was the peak of DOS gaming.

In this case it’s the same god so you’re covered.

Does it matter, unless there’s an agreement that says the US (or some other place where Mozilla actually operates) will enforce Russian law?
