As an owner of a medical device company, I like this very much

How does one do that?

All this is happening thousands of miles away from me behind locked doors.

This may signal he is getting pushback from the military which is a very good thing. If he is serious about Canada and Greenland he will need a strong military. It makes no sense to start cutting the budget now.

Refusing unlawful orders is always cool and moral.

I’d want a registry that was compartmentalized meaning each app gets an area to store its own configuration and the apps can only modify their own settings (without root permissions).

Apps should never be expected to modify system settings directly but only through system calls.

Some Linux packages achieve this kind of behavior by adding an additional user which owns their configuration directories. That always felt hacky to me.

A centralized place to store settings (e.g. the registery) isn’t a bad idea in and of itself.

I was watching a recording of Jeopardy (captured via antenna) on my private media server. This was not a recording of a recent episode. One of the answers was a band I’ve never heard of. The next day Pandora played a song by that band.

Imagine working alongside the native army and then one day being told that those who are essentially your coworkers are now the enemy.

People be dumb. I know I am.

Desktop Environments are decoupled from the underlying system. It makes switching DEs very easy but integration sucks.

I needed to flush dns on my Ubuntu machine. I googled it found a command for an older version. But of course the underlying stuff changed since then and that command doesn’t exist anymore.

The command to flush dns on Windows has been the same for decades. On Linux half the stuff I learn is going to be obsolete in a couple of years and that knowledge can’t be carried over to other Distros because they do it differently.

I also had to manually build and install a driver for a very common realtek wifi chipset that is not even new.

Surprisingly I don’t think I’ve seen comments from people who live in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont on the subject online. I never realized just how close those states are to Montreal.
