I imagine something like Fedora with an RT kernel and CPU partitioning could be as reliable as an old Amiga. CPU partitioning would let you reserve one or more cores for specific applications such as music production software. Now, the software in question may not be up to the task but that's a different problem.
They used to be good, almost as good as the Windows drivers. Lately, though, they've been kinda trash and the AMD open driver is pretty alright now. (Performance isn't as good but other than that it's good.)
Ubuntu previously was excepting Gnome point releases from major testing on the grounds that Gnome's point releases are all big fixes and thus don't require Ubuntu's major testing process. Gnome shipped a new major feature in a point release and so Ubuntu said "oops, guess we gotta test their point releases after all". Practically, it means Gnome point releases take longer to get into Ubuntu than they previously did (but are more tested for bugs).
Yeah, even if zero people ever consented the ability to defeat end to end exception would still be required in the software just in case someone ever did consent. That's all governments need to bring their other powers down on companies. They can spy on whoever they like with this.
They're definitely going to back down. I'm guessing they're going to back down a little (maybe create an opt out for the enterprise customers?) and then claim victory, but we'll see.
You should really be using a pre commit hook to catch secrets. Admittedly it may not have caught this, but manual review is (clearly) not always sufficient.
Basically what it's doing is booting to an alternate OS configuration to do the install. It's way easier to just reboot again rather than tear down the installer environment and go into a normal one. That's basically a reboot in all but name. It's annoying to have to enter your encryption passphrase twice, though.
I feel like a lot of Linux behaviors tell me most Linux people don't encrypt their data, which tbh should not only be the default but should be difficult to opt out of. Apple actually does this one right. Encryption is just the way it works.
Pretty sure you can configure "open as root" in some file managers. Also you can configure a gksudo (or similar) setup.
Really though, that makes me think. The file manager should detect you're opening something you don't have write access to and ask if you want to authenticate as root to open it.
I think generic testing is pretty suspect but at the same time we have more than just that to suggest this.
Remember, also, that the Vikings (like other people of their era) didn't have an understanding of race in the sense we do today. Surely they had some concept of people having different skin color (they traveled enough) and of family lineage but the pseudoscientific idea of race theory has yet to be invented.
Anyway we can be pretty confident Viking slaves (thralls) were sometimes non-white and we know thralls could buy their freedom and free people could take up viking (the profession) so it stands to reason that there could be some. That plus old burial sites suggest that wasn't just a theory but something that happened. i suspect the culture at the time was even more heterogenous than we would think just from that, though it seems like the white skinned types were still the majority considering modern Scandinavians.
we're almost certainly looking at overly broad attempts to silence neo-Nazi denialism propaganda and not some sort of intended censorship of the actual history.
And that's probably what the NY Post is actually upset about.
dnf remove @gnome-desktop dnf autoremove
For the curious.
Note that the autoremove might not do anything here. Removing @gnome-desktop removes the whole package group and should get everything in it.
