Also, command line allows for greater automation, has more granular control, often has more features and can be... I'm doing ain't I? I'm being a Freeza.

Im just curious, what makes you say that PDF is a shitty format? I remember starting to read a book on PDFs before when I was trying to learn to code with them and being surprised how much work it actually entailed.

Von Braun oversaw the construction of missiles in factories that used forced Jewish (and other targeted groups) labour.

SELinux is an access control system for Linux. Traditionally Linux uses Dynamic Access Control (DAC) which basically means the person who creates a file can determine who can access that file. Thats pretty fine for day to day use but there are some problems with this model in terms of security. One I can think of is that it's more vulnerable to privilege escalation (a hacker getting access to a higher level account like admin through a lower level account) because it puts the onus on the user to define who can access the file. SELinux was invented by our good friends at the NSA to remedy these kinds of problems. It's an example of Mandatory Access Control. It works on top of DAC by creating policies that work to prevent things like privilage escalation. It's also a lot more comprehensive than DAC. It allows for things context based access, taking into account the broader security context of an access attempt, the user's role, etc.

I'm actually not entirely sure why some people don't like it. Understandably, some people are wary of anything the NSA let's out into the public. But as it's open source and has been integrated into a number of Linux distros like Fedora, it's unlikely they've backdoored it. If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say some people don't like it for the same reason they don't like systemd: Linux has often been an OS where user's like a big degree of control through simple traditional systems and those don't like the idea of losing some of that control to the complexity overhead involved in these new systems.

This app is great. Thanks.

Yeah they'll arrest at random and show the brazen cruel incompetent inconsistency of the law. (I live in a country that does this).

I really appreciate this list and use lots of applications like this but I would find it impossible to complety replace YouTube with PeerTube.

Thanks for this. Removing the split screen from the PC version was one of the worst decisions I've seen for a game remake.

Awh. I was gonna go with Floorp on the name alone. Great name...

Is that the difference between when something like Google Maps has your general location and when it has your specific location?

That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

Vi is actually a predecessor to Vim but many people, myself included, will alias Nvim or Vim to Vi. And I've seen people use Vi as a catch all too.

Omg, bring back mirror Kirk and get Shatner to just play himself. Like he's not a fascist, just make him really snarky with his trademark humour.

Is that... Fun?

Ah. Okay. It took me a moment to get this person's perspective on this. They're a non-US citizen who's asserting that this person's 'wokism' (i.e. nont being a prick) is hypocritical because they didn't voice their concerns over the exile of Russian devs from the Linux Kernel. Isn't that kind of a mix of a straw man (not clear what this 'woke' person's views are on that; troll makes assertions on what the 'woke' person didn't say) and an ad hominem (this 'woke' didn't argue against anti-Russian sentiment, therefore their arguments for equality are invalid).

I feel like I've wasted my time considering what this clown had to say.

Yeah he's also cast aspersions on the Polio vaccine. When that vaccine was first announced on the news, people on NY were out in the streets celebrating. Work basically stopped for the day. Practically everyone knew someone who had died of Polio.

It was one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the modern era. But RFK thinks he knows better.

Ehhh, I don't agree with the notion that extremists are bad. The definition of an extremist is 'A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.' I don't think animal rights extremists or environmental extremists are bad because I think the norm is morally reprehensible, unacceptable and unlikely to change without a pushing that norm through extremist measures.

I like to think it was a wordplay.
