I agree with you in theory, and in practice for most people. I have weird enough tastes in music though that I haven't found a single streaming service that has what I want.

I have mixed feelings here. I legitimately paid ($1, once, a decade ago) for a calculator app and feel it was a great value (I still prefer it to this day). But then again the free version was fine too and the one-time payment was essentially a donation to the developer for a great app that unlocked... Themes...

Let's hope all proprietary systems become irrelevant in the future.

My biggest problem with systemd is that Red Hat has basically used it to push their-way-or-the-highway on many Linux distros. That said, in many situations systemd is better than what came before. Except systemd-networkd. It's a PITA as far as I'm concerned.

So far I'm not in love with systemd-networkd...

It asks for a city and ZIP code. I guess bad actors could put in any values as they want using an online map.

"Single-family zoning is the manspreading of urban design" had me chuckling. In part because it's a brilliant argument.

Apt repos are like that for several reasons, one of which is that it allows DNS based mirroring without having to share a certificate. Another is that back when apt started out, HTTPS was pretty rare.

time_t will remain 32-bit to avoid breaking ABI compatibility. However, Linux on 32-bit platforms has a full set of syscalls that return time64_t values. I don't know about other distros, but since 24.04 Ubuntu has had everything in its repositories using those calls.

The other day my doctor apologised for being late because his last patient ran over by 3 minutes.

This page, while obviously specifically advocating against the ADL, is well sourced in its criticisms: https://droptheadl.org/the-adl-is-not-an-ally/
