Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.

I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

RIP Fuchsia

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.

But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?

To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.

I assume so.

If you’ve got a phone or laptop charger, then input voltage doesn’t often matter. They’ll work with either 120v or 230v.

And in general, you likely won’t be bringing non-charger electrical stuff with you when travelling.

So if you’re installing this in the US, it makes sense to just wire this with 120v. Peoples’ phone chargers will continue to work just fine.

Mostly I use custom launchers because I don’t like the Google News feed

What’s wild to me is that back in the Google Now era, I was so excited to root so that I could install the extension for Nova to add Google Now.

But these days, the Google “Discovery” feed is trash compared to what Google Now once was.

Edit: I can only count to four

If caching is properly configured, the cache (Cloudflare) will see thousands of requests, but the VPS should only see one request.

Just put the site behind a cache, like Cloudflare, and set your cache control headers properly?

They mention that they are already using Cloudflare. I’m confused about what is actually causing the load. They don’t mention any technical details, but it does kinda sound like their cache control headers are not set properly. I’m too lazy to check for myself though…

The Internet.

Computers do a lot of things. But the Internet specifically is the aspect of the computer that revolutionized the world.

Fair. That was overgeneralizing German bureaucracy to the entire EU.

But I think the point that tech companies in Europe rarely survive still stands.

The EU is terrible at maintaining good tech companies.

Like, they have some really important and innovative consumer protection regulations, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one…

I assume it will still be possible to enable the APIs with adb.

So this will mostly affect users in that in-between skill level where they know how to use a third-party app store (or how to download and install apps from a file browser) but don’t know how to use adb. I’m not so sure how big that segment is. Probably pretty small.

For the group of users who are tech-illiterate (the common case), this is actually a very welcome change for malware prevention.

In the case of Google, the trade off is compensation.

You can work for for Google in NYC and make $300k+ per year, or work for Google in London and make half as much at best.

It’s the USA.

Yes, they can just fire people.

I see what you did there 😉
