Tried searching for the incantation to screengrab from Wayland or drm device directly, no dice. Funny as post-satire tho.

Technology gave us spoiler tags and unmarked spoiler warning on communication spaces. So, sure we could, if we wanted to --shrug

... they'd know what exact nasty deeds they're being paid for? How does that help you?

First of all, you need accountable politicians that serve their nation. Age, while it's important, is not of prime importance.

I don't understand what happened there or how the guy who tried to overthrow the government is still walking free.

You know you don't understand what happened there, but you still assume he tried to overthrow the government. That's highly implausible. A much simpler explanation is that he wanted to quit on his own terms before it's too late, but needed the other party to start listening and, ideally, enter the negotiations with a handicap. Judging by the reports that he got his audience (a claim too embarrassing to make up for no gain), that seemed to work.

That's a big pitfall with analysing Russia: rationalizing stuff happening there to fit a reasonable plan, or at least a coherent overarching narrative, while the plethora of actors constituting Russia couldn't care less about your narrative. They've been improvising with no clear plan for at least a year, on all levels, and it's a miracle we still occasionally see patterns in their collective actions.

Compatibility issues? Unspecified root problems? Nope, I ain't feeling'em.

Tech knowledge is required to use smaller services? Just a fraction of what was required before, just about enough to operate in digital world in general.

Cars are becoming SaaS? Whatever brings them closer to extinction works for me.

Have you ever wanted to do something from the uncharted area? Encountered bad documentation? This is what it's supposed to be for, not handholding.

I've used it for... IDK, 2017-2022? I'm well aware of what it offers.

I admire their uncompromising stance on feature creep and polish of the core functionality.

I'm a simple man, all I need 95% of the time is keyboard shortcuts to switch between maximized browser and a maximized terminal emulator.

Compare and contrast KDE, where you have three infinitely configurable screen zoom plugins, and I've never seen 3/3 working.

I remember it was a good video , but his definition of "vran'yo" was unnecessarily narrow. "Vran'yo" is pretty much as wide as "lies" in English, not specifically bullshitting, no straight face required, no requirement of doing it systematically, no nothing. So this specific part left me fairly disappointed.

His definition of "Ochkovtiratelstvo" is solid.

"would"?

I'm not arguing, I just wanted to save you time.

It was phenomenally good while the authors avoided succumbing to the unimaginatice "the enemy must be basically us in the mirror". Asymmetric = good.

Syncthing is the one, I could probably replace any one but this one.

Opened OsmAnd installed from F-Droid, enabled "hiking routes", checked one I've completed yesterday. It shows: name, operator, trail on the map, length, altitude over distance (graph), average altitude, total uphill climb, total downhill. Pictures might be available as a plugin, not sure; no season info or dangers info in sight. Hope that helps.

You wouldn't call a supermarket a Cocacola distribution

Only because it's kinda unconventional to buy oneself some Coca-Cola by purchasing an entire supermarket.

I would still call a combo meal "a Coca-Cola distribution", and whoever sells it to me a "Coca-Cola distributor".

I can set up a computer with e.g. OpenBSD (with my own modifications to make it mine) that downloads an Ubuntu ISO from my server, then I load up that ISO into a virtual machine and now I magically turned OpenBSD into an Ubuntu distribution??

my server

You're now a distributor of Ubuntu (regardless of the OpenBSD-based thingie), and your version of OpenBSD is an Ubuntu distribution. If, however, your hypothetical OpenBSD-based distro pulled all the Ubuntu bits from ubuntu.com, it would've been just an distribution of an Ubuntu installer.

For me, liliputing.com gives me the most value per time spent reading. It's also fun to see how notebookcheck occasionally reports the same stuff but worse, clearly after they've read it on liliputing. It's not a broad one though since it's focus is loosely centered at compact gadgets.

Windows distributes Linux, through its repositories, ergo Windows a Linux distribution.

What does it do with it then – acts as a hypervisor or sings its source aloud backwards – is an orthogonal question.

If it distributes Linux, it's a distro. Thus ChromeOS, Android, Windows are all Linux distros.

If you have a different definition, best you can do with it is go brighten up some lawyer's day, I guess.
