Did an AI write these bullshit ramblings just parroting PR fluff texts provided by those distros?

Apparently this is about neither DRM

It's not about the DRM people think about... but the Direct Rendering Manager

Why should it sacrifice itself? There are more than fast-flying kamikaze drones. Smaller spotters or all those improvised models based on commercial quadrocopters with an AT warhead are nice targets for a properly sized bird of prey coming at them like they would hit their regular prey... fast and from top.

In fact there were several project world-wide to actually train birds to hunt down drones. Most were abandoned as fast spinning rotors can be a danger to claws when they get unlucky... but still it's perfectly reasonable to expect a big owl, eagle etc. to down a drone.

Because "number of commits" is such a relevant metric (for reference 85% of the commits resulted in 110% of added lines compared to 2023).

Are people too lazy to talk about actual features and stuff added, so they compare some arbitrary number because that's a stat easily pulled from the data?

PS: Nice to see the comments talking about "woke" developers... Guess the culture war brain rot really spreads everywhere 🤮

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

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 9 months ago

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