Also true. There are some things MS Windows has better support for, especially in business and gaming.

For example, (referencing the "Jails" section here), the author says, "Jails are systems that impose censorship on application programs." Not sure if I'm interpreting this next quote from the GNU.org site (https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html) correctly, but it seems like this is exactly their definition of a "Free GNU/Linux distribution" is meant to do: "They will reject nonfree applications, nonfree programming platforms, nonfree drivers, nonfree firmware "blobs," nonfree games, and any other nonfree software, as well as nonfree manuals or documentation."
"They will reject" seems an awful like "won't run on my distribution", and not because it's not compatible because of runtime or kernel differences, but because of its 'being nonfree'.
From Merriam & Webster:
BIGOT: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.
I love free software. I don't have to pay for it, I can share, customize, and use it as I want without the author of the software ever needing to know or care, because he did it out of either love for software or because he had a need to fulfill and was nice enough to release it to the world.
I also use paid software and software containing "nonfree" software blobs. I have an Android because it works for me. I use Spotify on all my devices, and pay for Premium, because I find it convenient, the same reason I use GNOME and VS Code and drive a used Chevy.
I value my time and quality of life too much to be extreme "beCaUSE iT wASN't FreEEE".
Just my 2 cents. I'll have that with a side of Kale please.
It's an amazing experience to become a soldier, even to just complete initial training. Your level of confidence rises, and something in you "grows up." At least that's what my experience was. There are so many things the average person doesn't realize is drilled into a soldier, and this is clear evidence of those things being under the surface, even after years of adjusting to civilian way of life. There's no turning back.
echoip.xyz is written in pure PHP and can be self-hosted without any dependencies other than PHP, and is very transparent in what it does.
ipconfig.me also outputs "Moved Permanently. Redirecting to https://ifconfig.me/%" as of right now with the "curl ipconfig.me" command.
I think Tesla has it right with their implementation of self-driving capabilities - a human is present and logically fully responsible for the vehicle at all times.
1. The car is now under the complete control of a computer - not a human driver. There are only a limited number of things the passengers can do to stop the vehicle or improve their situation in case of an incident.
2. It _requires_ a computer to make complex moral decisions about the safety of the passengers, dictated by the preferences/views/biases of the manufacturer/regulators.
It seems that we have crossed the line between "should technology solve this issue" and "could technology solve this issue".
Its worth a looking-into.
Heart attack material here.
Received it yesterday, works like a charm and I love it!
