Trump "may die in prison" if he doesn't strike a deal: Legal analyst

  • In federal cases, yes. In state cases, no.

    • Abortions surge in Colorado amid 500% increase in patients from Texas

  • You'd maybe be surprised at how conservative the Hispanic population can be. Just look at Florida, for example.

    Also, don't understand the right's ability to convince people to vote against their best interests.

    • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

  • That's exactly what it was. They just lifted their favorite parts from multiple different iterations of the story. The original movie and the original TV show, mainly. But those two don't even canonically fit together.

    It was a jumbled mess and it sucked. The original anime, its sequel, and the original TV show are all fantastic, however.

  • Bushwick. For one, I'm a huge Aesop Rock fan. For two, I thought it was a fun little 'what if' flick.

    • Linux has less than half of Linux’s desktop share

  • Forgive me, but I've been around the Linux/FOSS community for a couple decades and I have never heard someone mention the Freedesktop spec as a requirement to be considered 'Linux.' Considering that the Freedesktop spec is mostly targeted towards systems with graphical UIs, would that mean that any headless system running a Linux kernel and GNU userland is not considered 'Linux?' Furthermore, that kind of flies in the face of the idea of using Linux as a testing ground for alternative computing ideas.

    Now, there's been a lot of discussion around fragmentation, and I get the arguments towards enforcing standards, but to me this is a truly bizarre line to draw in the sand. You could just as easily say "Any systems not using SysV are not 'real' Linux." Or any system that gets rid of /usr. Or any system that isn't POSIX compliant (bye bye, NixOS...).

    Seriously. I don't get it. Please show me what I'm missing.

  • You could say the same thing about other distros that hide the difficult bits, tbh. Is Endless Linux? What about Elementary?

    The thing about Linux is that it's extremely flexible, and there's a lot of choices about interface and user experience.

    So what is it about ChromeOS that makes it not Linux? Is it that it doesn't have GNOME, KDE, XFCE or the hundreds of other DEs? Is it that you don't need to use the terminal for anything? I mean, it's not the kernel or the userland or even the compiler...

    So what is it?
