Windows has had always a problem: unlike Unix, where files are referenced by an inode where the name points to, Windows has the names directly linked to the files. When Windows needs to update a system file that is in use it has to stop being used. And for some system files there only one way to do it: reboot. On Unix, the name of the file can change the inode where it points to and the system goes on. The old file exists until every process stops using it and then is erased while new processes access the new file. So no reboot is needed.

That leads to not having to update everything on reboot. Only the kernel and little more.

The only real question is how long until 1929 comes again.

“Who controls the past, controls the future”

Maybe that should change by law.

You can go from Portugal to Poland with your country’s ID… And don’t be required to show it anywhere.

Because the US right now is a shithole country. In almost all developed nations you have the right to a free or very cheap education.

It world be nice if some were firefighters/medics and not cops

Something like C/C++ does? JS16, JS20, JS24?

My problem is not death itself. It’s the part that comes right before it.

Not a game but there’s an Spanish movie called “Vivancos 3: if you like it we’ll do the first two”. It was a flop so…

Not in this case

Free as in free beer, not as in freedom.

A federated roaming user directory so you can have the same user at once in different aspects of the Fediverse.

A self-hosted instance has a big advantage: only those working on that admin can have a user. So if you see, p.e., @Emmanuel.macron@gov.fr you know it’s the real account and not a fake one.

Sony being Sony since at least the 80s

Maybe it’s because the eyes aren’t “human”.

I suspect none of those will be Matthew 25:31-46

Is there a way to join two communities into one?

If those sensors give the values thru a server port and the airbag reads them as a client there is no need for more interaction than what the 90s browsers had with the web servers.

Except in the Fediverse we can block instances. So one from Reddit or Meta is just a click away from being banned.
