A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.
This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.
The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.
From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.
The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.
The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.
This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
People are going to die. That Tesla cybertruck came with safety flaws, from breaking bones and risk of death. And that was WITH safety oversight.
Imagine all the other flaws that were found and they had to be fixed which slowed down development, upsetting the efficiency deity or shareholders or whoever the fuck
The next Tesla model released is going to cause deaths on release day, if that project has no safety oversight.
I'm kind of high, so I can't tell if my opinion is obvious or unfounded or made any sense at all.
isnt this how cyberpunk happens
big corporations seize democracy and eventually you have a terrorism charge for saying xzy Corp is shit, while everyone else is now much poorer.
Do you think enough people will learn of this in time for the jury selection, in theory?
Historically, how often has this happened?
Can nods or other physical gestures count as an intent to nullify the process? Like a fresh tattoo of the green super mario bro. There's plausible deniability there, right?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just sick of talking to chatbots. I crave answers from human beings. I don't want a chatbot's heartless, supposedly unbiased answer. Throw in as much bias as you'd like.
Makes me think of how many people will remain in the closet, because they fear the possibility of these stupid and disgusting repercussions.
From my anecdotal experiences, people who have come out publicly as LGBTQ seem a lot happier afterwards.
While I was in a mental health clinic for depression, anxiety coupled with a cocaine and drinking problem, I spoke with another patient about my fairly unhealthy coping mechanisms. She noted that her brother was fully addicted to every drug he could get his hands on, for many years of his life while being completely depressed. Going in and out of rehabs and clinics, but never kicked any of it. Once he came out as gay, i.e. be his true self, he managed to quit the drugs and was a lot more happy in general.
One of my favourite YouTubers to watch is Philosophytube. She made an announcement video where she came out as trans. She had a quote near the end of the video that went something like
When people ask me, "Do you feel like a man or a woman", I say, I feel happy.
If a person stays in the closet, of course they will become depressed. Sexuality and gender Identity is a core part of being human.
They already fear being ousted by family and friends, but now the government is involved, even more will silently suffer because of who they are.
I'd give anything to alleviate my mental health issues. I have no idea why I'm depressed, but if I did, and I knew I'd be punished for being myself, that would make matters a lot worse
You make a very good point and are clearly a lot more knowledgeable than me.
I'm going to rephrase. Windows 11 was shitty from the start. I can defend that statement, which we both agree with, to save my ego from internal bleeding.
mum used to read that to me before bed as a kid
