Sudo is like the safety on a firearm. It's there to hopefully prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. It won't stop you if you're determined enough, though.
Already taken care of, honestly. Hell, if we're lucky, they'll end up being the ones indoctrinated out of racist thinking and into more progressive views. I'm not holding my breath, though.
It's not, exactly. This is the Drake meme format. You are usually supposed to view both Panels simultaneously, it's just much clunkier when there's text in both panels.
True, but if you had the ability to flash your OS, there'd also be the potential of using a third paty repair shop to get it flashed with a new OS. That would be about the same experience as getting a new phone, but cheaper.
That's one aspect, but many phones are also just straight-up not jail-breakeable. It's an unfortunate reality of the phone manufacturing world that they put up as many barriers as possible to try and prevent you from having free range with your phone.
True, though it's a mix of culpability. We wouldn't be in this situation if devs quit over poor managerial decisions. Devs keep their heads down and do the dirty work, so they're also culpable in these trends. They don't deserve defending, they deserve a wakeup call.
EDIT: face it folks, if you do a shitty thing as your job for someone else, it doesn't absolve you of guilt that it was some else's idea. You're still doing the shitty thing. No one gets off Scott free because they're 'following orders'.
I don't disagree with this. Software's performance enshittification is maybe non intentional per-se, but it's pretty obvious that devs don't think they need to optimize until it's confirmed that their software is insufferably slow. And I mean their software has to be so slow that it loses them customers in droves.
Poor performance then immediately sells more performant gear. Lord knows that if software consumption didn't rise every year, I wouldn't even consider buying new gear till my current shit croaked.
Anyone who wants to know more about the exact craziness in retro game code should read "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System" by Ian Bogost and Nick Montfort.
That's not why we were able to get Apollo 11 onto the moon using only 8 kilobytes. The real reason is because we used the most batshit sorcery mankind may ever know to eek out every last ounce of usefulness we could muster from those 8 kilobytes.
You don't really think about all the small steps you do in other activities. You just follow the muscle memory you've built up. It's the same deal for shaving.
I get by with a single blade no problem. Hot water rinse ---> lather with bar soap ---> shave with razor - first with the grain, then against the grain ---> apply aftershave, letting it soak in ---> apply moisturizer to shaved portions after showering.
Ukraine radiates food all over Europe and Africa - metaphorically speaking. At least, they did prior to the Russo-Ukraine war. Don't know if they do anymore.
Oh they're real. They're just arbitrary most of the time.
