LKML and patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0fc810ae3ae110f9e2fcccce80fc8c8d62f97907

He cites his work as being a variant of a patch submitted by another developer, Josh Poimboeuf. It's a team effort folks :)

So much uncanny valley creepy vibes when it does that. Like you're anthropomorphizing and suddenly it snaps you out of it haha.

Git is a sort of proto-blockchain -- well, it's a ledger anyway. It is fairly useful. (Fucking opaque compared to subversion or other centralized systems that didn't have the ledger, but I digress...)

It's barely even funny at this point.

Although I'd quibble about Newsweek defining this guy as an oligarch. He was vice president at a company that was disbanded due the company president's opposition to Putin. It's very possible this guy is just a former executive that refused to bend or hand over some dirt or something. It doesn't appear he fits the definition of oligarch at all.

Unless we're just using the word to refer to all Russians above peasant.

If it's a game I'm going to get hundreds, or sometimes thousands of hours from, then I'll pay more. If you look at price per hour spent on entertainment, it's hard to compare. However, you often have to wade through a bunch of shitty overpriced games to find those gems.

Okay, back to EU4 now ;)

If the Kindle is a tablet, then yes. If the Kindle is an e-reader, then no.

I don't think Kobo has that option. I just toggle on my wifi hotspot on my phone though and that works just fine.

Comics and graphic novels mostly. Maybe scientific papers and textbooks.

Oh you mean the point for Amazon? Extract money

Articles like this always tend to overlook the fact that Bell Labs wasn't unique in its time. And other companies had very similar labs running. A famous example is Xerox Labs which invented the computer mouse and graphical windowing, among other things.

Google had this vibe too, prior to going public.

Weirdly enough, .Net works relatively well on Linux (at least the core components). Parts of the framework are even various degrees of open sourced.

Should we tell them? ;)

Is there a "government" version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever...?
