That's a build-in sudo feature, set by Defaults insults in your sudoers file.

So what humans have done for millenia in the form of furs, leather and bone?

Bigotry is illogical

Yet this isn't even bigotry. It's straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf...

Actual wolf packs are a family. One pair of adults plus their children. Until those are old enough, then they leave and search for a partner and own territory.

All the stuff you read about pack alphas, all the sociological pseudo-science about alpha behavior derived from it... that's all based on a one bullshit study about a large group of wolves artificially intoduced to a new area, that in no way behaved like wolves naturally do.

Basically the equivalent of putting a few dozen teen-age boys on an isolated island then studying their behavior to understand human society.

Germans are still suffering from having to integrate another failed quasi-soviet state more than 30 years later, so you couldn't pay them enough for taking Königsberg back.

An immutable OS is fixed and mounted non-writable. Every update you get, every program you install is handled on top of it via containers or filesystem overlays so the underlying OS is untouched. Basically the same concept you know from smartphones or other devices with a "reset to factory settings" function. No matter how hard you screw up your system, you can always reset to the base OS, either by granulary deactivating things installed on top, or by a reset to the working base OS.

No... the Crowdstrike debacle primarily shows the dangers of today's corporate culture in software development.

Ship as fast as possible, fix issues later if necessary...

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 46 points 4 months ago

The software is the problem if it's produced with a corporate mentality of "ship first, fix later".

"More Tech and Venture Capital Execs Are Coming Out as ~~MAGA~~ Believers of Tax Cuts, Deregulation and Corruption"

Fixed that headline...

Doing that improved performance for Windows apps on Linux when using Wine or Valve's Proton that is based on the former. [...] benchmarks that show games running better with average improvement rates ranging from 50% to 150% when using the new driver compared to not using it.

Talking about improvements for Wine and Proton then providing no actual data for Proton (which is already using a completely different mehod for syncs - yes the basic wine method sucks) is either stupid or intentionally misleading.
