it's used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works on your system. It's the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you're in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

I've just copypasted URLs from your post so I could click them after Lemmy converts them to hyperlinks in my comment. But then you've copied the images directly, with extra explanation. I feel like this turned out to be bigger effort than necessary.

Anyway, my wife liked the centibus.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

You simply need to accept the risc.

I'm pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I'm pretty sure the answer is zero.

It's wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

  • Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
  • There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
  • If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
  • There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
  • There's no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don't use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.
