  • And before Pidgin was named Pidgin, it was named GAIM, which was short for GTK AIM, which was short for GIMP toolkit AOL IM, which was short for GNU Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger, which was short for GNU's Not Unix Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger and it never ends.

  • Lazy path: just buy an remap a Kinesis 360 Pro. It's perfectly fine to just go with some off-the-shelf perfection and procrastinate all the time you've saved.

  • I run syncthing with my own relay and I trust that setup. Owning me through syncthing would basically require backdooring the software, something that'd be likely to go noticed by the syncthing community.

    Rustdesk is a backdoor by functionality and it's already using infra I don't control. I don't feel comfortable using that.

  • It's literally a third-party service that let's others control your desktop. Doesn't matter how FOSS the clients and end servers are, one also needs to trust the intermediate servers. If those running them are caught dishonest about which country they're located, the trust evaporates. China or not.

  • Apple, Apple and Apple. Your point being?..

  • Firefox ate my RAM joke is ridiculous. Nokia N900 has 256MB RAM. Fennec for Maemo had electrolysis (multiprocessing) turned on. In version 4. Years before the desktop Firefox. You really need to go old-school embedded for Firefox to eat your RAM.

  • Whenever you get your podcasts, is it's not RSS, it's not podcasts.

  • I visualize that as you turning in between the two commenters mid-sentence, telling off both of them.

  • Don't you dare put nix together with these fossils of package management.

  • Easy. If we find any income other than salary, linked to your decisions or not, that's years or decades of manual labor for you. If your spouse is a millionaire, a business owner or even just a hired worker who doesn't agree to the same level of scrutiny until the end of their lives, no politics for you. Leave politics to saints who serve their people for ideological reasons only. Politics is not supposed to be appealing.

  • I'd cap every civil servant income to 5 median salaries. If that's too not enough, run your country better.

  • I'm saying it runs it because "running" is transitive, but doesn't boot it because "booting" is not. Similarly to how you can carry your grandkid by carrying your kid who carries their kid (carrying is transitive), but you can't give birth to your grandkid by giving birth to your kid who'd give birth to their kid (giving birth is not transitive).

  • Yes, but it doesn't count, because the SoC from the picture didn't boot Linux, an emulated machine did.

    That's why the records on doing this silly stuff on progressively smaller microcontroller use the word "run". It has more transitivity.

  • "boot" is the next important part. Have you tried reading it in full?

  • Which needless to say, isn't secure.
