I don't think the problem is having published it. I think the problem is having had those words pronounced and recorded.

It's one thing being a racist fascist. It's another having the gal to admit it in private. It's a whole other plate to admit it in front of a camera.

While reading, I was thinking about the time it took me the last time I installed Linux, and I agreed with the author: it took me several hours.

Then I remembered why it took me so long: I wanted to install the most minimal Void Linux configuration possible with graphical session on a 16 years old laptop that was already too underpowered to run Windows XP when it got out, so I pondered every package installation (do I really need this to make it work? It's 10 MB, that's a bit heavy...) and had to tinker a bit with the drivers to get it to work just right.

Installing Fedora on my main laptop however took 15 minutes, from booting to having a functional system, 20 if you count the iso download and the copy on a USB stick.

 

I have installed Void Linux on a Raspberry Pi yesterday, planning to install a bunch of old games as well as DosBox on it.

But after the installation I noticed that nethack wasn't in the arm repos, despite being in the Void x86 and x86_64 repos as well as the arm Raspberry Pi OS repos.

Is there any plan to add nethack in the arm repos of Void Linux?

Let's say, hypothetically, that I'm not a Nintendo spy. Let's also say that, still hypothetically, I would be interested in, or curious about, maybe, what would have been your first choice. Would you hypothetically tell it to me?

Not talking about pirating anything, btw. Just making hypotheses about a purely imaginary scenario.

γ is the Greek letter gamma. Those are γ-rays, not y-rays.

It works with 2G, sure, but I'm not sure how it would work on dumb phones: how messages would be decrypted or encrypted on a dumb phone, without that app?

Just this week I installed W11 on a laptop (temporarily, I just wanted to see how it ran on this hardware), and despite being connected to the it asked me, by default, for a username for the local account. I don't know why, but it didn't ask for a MS account first.

Also people ~~made a lot of donations in hope of staying~~ bought their way out of hell.

Indulgences were literally sold, those weren't considered donations.
