I don't think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.

Most package managers store md5sums. A few times I've used that to validate package binaries. I'm not sure what tool you'd use for it, since I always just whip up a bash one-liner for it.

I thought cheugy was more a synonym for tryhard, someone working really hard to 'get with th youths'.

This was 2001 at a shoestring dialup ISP that also did consulting and had a couple small software products. So no.

Probably not too bad. There are steps, it's not a slope.

There've been times when I've held off complaining about something or fixed it myself because I liked the owners. I could see new owners being total dicks and creating a motivation to make Official Complaints.

The way they say that, it sounds like they're accusing the tenants of outright sabotage, though. >:/

I haven't tried this, but maybe ssh -t "rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb" or something like to clear up some space would work.

I confidently deleted my 33k karma, 12 year old reddit account yesterday. I agree.
