and the mandatory microphone with cellular connection, for automated emergency calls or something like that

it may be 100x more acceptable, but 100 times 0 is still 0.

they are already required to publish the kernel source code for the device, so porting an alternative system should be possible, and this directive might make it illegal to lock down the software from being replaced. but there is still a loophole around drivers, as those are implemented through a “hardware abstraction layer” on android.

not so sure about that. fediverse servers could end up fined for not applying these labels

no, officer, you misunderstand! I’m not pirating this movie, I’m just training my intelligence on it! it is transformative use, see, I can now write you this summary!

Windows being a centrally controlled OS should be better at this than Linux and yet they aren’t!

that’s what I was thinking too, but to be fair historically linux wasn’t a GUI centered world, so there were not much core system GUIs that could become obsolete

Its chill and relaxed and has humor and no algorithms.

that’s what makes it better. more communities would be easier to solve than on a brand new platform that doesn’t have any already.

only atomic distros do that, and it has its downsides. most distros still only keep a single system partition, but if it does snapshots before update then it’s not a big deal if something goes wrong

databases may still care

oh, I thought you mean skipping the timeout that one time

interesting. It’s so weird they can get away with manufacturing counterfeit documents

how do you bypass it? didn’t know its a thing

possibly they ship a bad systemd unit config for their package

Just do it when starting the application.

then the other half of the userbase will complain

a bad configuration, mostly. people love to bash systemd but this is sensible, that it does not outright kill services that aren’t ready for that. if your computer shuts diwn slowly because of that, that is a configuration issue, that either a service or a mount does not stop cleanly.

its more to do with the fact that until recently linux distros did not have a desktop pc centered idea on how to do updates. but distros started to support offline updates, so you can install updates in a safer way, while the system is not running.

a major difference is that linux offline updates allows you to just shut down, without taking time with updates.

can you fine those who fake official stamps?

yes and I don’t like it.

are you changing settings frequently? if not, settings should be stored on the on board memory and it will continue working on linux

that runs on Chrome/Chromium (and maybe one day Firefox ?) using the WebUSB API.

Please don’t bring webusb to firefox. It’s just a security liability. only use is for tools made out of mistakes. the web should never have direct access to usb devices and the filesystem.
