Yes, clearly. Biscuits originally sold as being a digestive aid to reduce possibility of discomfort maybe from over-eating. Personally never achieved such.

False advertising? Selflessly scoffing several packets in one sitting, esp dark chocolate persuasion, has never provided stated relief advertised by given name.

Must be eating them 'wrong'.

Likelihood of anyone ever being convicted whilst actually guilty: zero.

They're missing a word on the end of that sentence: "today". Tomorrow, however ...

"Never meet your heros." is as old as celebrity itself.

I think many of my heroes live larger in my mind than they could or should ever fulfill; they couldn't possibly live up to that hype and I wouldn't want to take it from them through the actuality.

Damn shame.

(Side-glance at you UK BBC.)

Install your own from one of the parent distros: Debian, Fedora/openSUSE, sources (eg. Exherbo, Gentoo), the state-based one I always forget.

An atomic distro is one which is in my understanding, has a basis in libostree, right? I'm familiar with the Fedora/RedHat versions but not any others.

Immutable distributions, for me to are wonderful when they are sparse. I don't want anything on my OS which I don't use at least once on a while.

If I install Fedora (RPM) Workstation to a large extent I can remove programs that I don't want. Whereas SilverBlue (libostree), I'm stuck with whatever the maintainers template (is there a blocking mechanism?).

However, with sparse Fedora-IoT, I can't break it - to a large extent - and it doesn't have anything I don't want.

I always install minimal versions of OSs, from Fedora (Everything iso), to Debian (debootstrap) to ArchLinux to Exherbo to Talos, just keep them cleaner longer. Then I fix them until they break!

I think they're ideal for those starting out in Linux because they are not ready to break; not saying that they're not for others too.

There's enough documentation, at least for Fedora atomic distros, to make your own custom spin.

I'm not switching for any desktop, unless the basic OS is minimal; but have switched for Raspberry Pi OS to Fedora IoT (atomic distro), at least temporarily.

Yes. I'm British.

I live these old stories. Kinda gave up programming by 1996. It was a short-sighted thing to do!

Having grown up with Acorn Atoms. BBC Micro, MS and DRDOS, Gem, Xerox something, Windows 1, don't remember 2, 3.0 to 3.11, NT. I didn't realise how nice early (2004) Linux was until I used it in a Windows server hosted VM to handle my phone calls (VoIP@home or something it was called).

I did everything I could to ditch Windows after that. The webification of QuickBooks was the final release.

Person posts funny in funny community. Because it's funny. In a funny way.

Turns out that there's not enough virtue signaling in the world.

No.

As opposed to Microsoft, Google, .. NSA, or GCHQ servers. Or all of the above.

Linux.
