Actually, you should aim for a lower ISO to avoid noisy picture.

I considered deleting this slop, but you guys having way to much fun in the comments :D

Yes what’s the deal. Because until yesterday I didn’t heard about them.

I don’t even know what it is. Is it a desktop Linux distribution? Is anyone using it at all?

Some rich dudes pushing money into it. That’s all that I know.

How does anyone come to the idea to built a tool to be used in a federated context and hardcode into it which instances are not allowed to be used with it?

However, this is just one person. Maybe the Dev did not expected anyone else to use it and just but the blacklist into it for personal reasons…

Forking is easy. Maintaining the fork is the hard part.

If the question is really about “can”, than the answer is definitely yes.

If it’s about if you should, than it’s a clear no. Because storing data in a GitHub Project is not the use case. Nothing in the protocols or the platform itself is optimized for that. Also GitHub could just pull the plug of your project if they ever feel that it is against their terms.

I try to add something to the understand.

Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero…) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory…) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it’s operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.

A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life’s you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn’t make sense.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

ok so it’s the classic compfort vs. security… kind of.

Why the heck do we have such a technology in CPUs?

I wouldn’t count it as desktop Linux as well. But I think it’s much more likely for chrome to take over Windows than it is for macOS.

Apple business strategy is to sell overpriced premium hardware. They don’t want to sell 300$ notebooks.

I think you underestimating ChromeOS

To use this side you have at least be as pale as #FFDAB9… But nobody is enforcing it.

Agreed, do not use Ubuntu.

But it’s still miles away from Window… and technically you can get closer with a Linux System… e.g. Google Android.

So as a user you should actually be more concerned about what regulations exist in the region you’re living, not of the region the server is histed. Because that’s the law you have to abide by.

Worst thing regarding the law of the server position is, that your post will be deleted / account will be banned.

And in the context of Online behavior I would argue, that in general all American/European laws are the same.

If we want to talk about details: In germany a very serious crime that is activly enfored, is to downplay crimes of the nazis. Even something like saying “trivial thing x is as bad as what the nazis did” could be interpreted as such a crime.

This is perfect for people planing to get pulled over and have to explain sone things, on an airport …

there are problems with the old driver? Man you think at some point a tecnology is just complete, but apparently no.

No one can exit vim. It’s simply not possible.

There are even legends that the devil himself was onced tricked into opening vim and is stuck there since.

I think there is a lot that the author is right about.

However, removing X11 season was a decision of the Gnome Team not the Ubuntu team and I completely respect this.

Yes you can keep shipping it with the X11 optio, but someone has to maintain it. The gnome project has only limited resource so it’s either removed or an unstable mess… removing in this case is always the better option IMHO.

I think the core takeaways from all this is, we (as a community) should definitely no longer recommend Ubuntu as the default distro for newcomer to the Linux world.
