2 things:

1. It’s more the determinacy, a GC randomly fires up and your systems stops for some long amount of time. There are pauseless GCs but that’s a different nightmare.

2. The kernel has things similar to GCs. They’re used for more specialized tasks, and some (like rcu) are absolute nightmares that have take decades to get working.

The modern trend of people from the former East Germany supporting AfD probably has more to do with the interceding decades of liberal rule,

Which West Germany didn’t face?

combined with the region’s historic relative poverty (which preceded even the Nazis).

Western Germany was more industrialized, because of 2 reasons: 1: access to coal and metal in the Ruhr, 2: Access to trade with Europe.

The former is just natural, the latter is more of that “librul witchcraft” of globalization.

The only difference between the two otherwise is that the Soviets brutalized the East, and that left a legacy of uneducated poverty.

Basically the Soviets took an impoverished land and squeezed as hard as they could.

Oh, and you’re right there were no camps in East Germany, those camps were in the USSR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labor_of_Germans_in_the_Soviet_Union

It really is, except for East Germany, which got rid of their Nazi trash and replaced them with Soviet trash, which, just like Russia has, swerved them hard nazi again.

They lived in the entire US, particularly the south, as did millions of slaves who suffered centuries of genocidal brutality and worse.

And as a non-white American , you are infinitely full of shit.

I’ve lived in most of the country, I have NEVER experienced such utter and brutal racism as in the vile, depraved south.

This is because after the civil war we let the slaver class live in the south, and they just took over as soon as our back was turned.

Worst decision in this country’s history, we would be so much greater of a nation if we’d simply dealt with the problem then instead of letting their filth fester and spread. Notice how Germany is a good country nowadays while the south is still as worthless as ever.

Indiana had racism, but comparing it to the south is like comparing a sneeze and ebola.

I lived in the Midwest, it’s nothing like that.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

The south literally fought a war (Texas fought 2) to preserve their practices of slavery and genocide.

The Midwest fought, killed, and died to stop them.

Illiterate too, Hitler wrote of Jim Crow as a model for Germany in Mein Kampf.

Hitler spoke about the American south and Jim Crow with reverence, he thought it should be a model for German racist policies.

This was something he wrote about in Mein Kampf.

They have a hardcore micro kernel though, windows and Linux are a long way off from that Valhalla, gnu Mach notwithstanding.

They’re integrate a low level security framework in c#. Net that needs it and it will be on by default.

Qxl does, it’s fairly modern.

Otherwise you have virtio and virglrenderer, which are as modern as it gets this side of pcie pass through or intel’s sriov.

Vga is fixed iirc, the original frame buffer was tiny, the emulated one gives you 16mv

Cirrus logic gives you 16mb too iirc, then you can use other drivers that give you more,

It did, let me explain:

On the original (ie Thompson and Ritchie at Bell in 1969-71), I think it was a PDP-11, they installed to a 512kb hard disk.

As their “stuff” grew they needed to sprawl the OS to another drive, so they mounted it under /usr and threw OS components that didn’t fit.

https://landley.net/writing/unixpaths.pdf

I’ve done the same, outgrew so you mount under a tree to keep going, it just never became a historical artifact.

It meant user, as in user-installed programs and libraries for this system over the core system programs and libraries of the operating system in /bin and /lib.

Someone learned it wrong, but otherwise I think the image is right.

It’s a great language, and I even like their deployment/packaging system.

But oh my god it assumes everything follows its rules, and does NOT play well with others.

We need a rust-based distribution, there can be only one.

That’s absolutely the opposite of what it says.

It says the states, specifically, must have armed citizens to prevent a tyrannical federal government:

. It is, therefore, with the most evident propriety, that the plan of the convention proposes to empower the Union "to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, RESERVING TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY THE APPOINTMENT OF THE OFFICERS, AND THE AUTHORITY OF TRAINING THE MILITIA ACCORDING TO THE DISCIPLINE PRESCRIBED BY CONGRESS.‘’

https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed29.asp

By keeping the army, or ‘militia’ under the sole control of the states, it guaranteed the states were never disarmed and could effectively resist or even attempt secession if they saw fit. Which, in fact, was later tried.

Until the 14th amendment incorporated the bill of rights, the 2nd amendment only applied to the federal government, and in fact strict gun laws and bans were common throughout the 18th century.

Did that a few times, the difficulty is keeping it up to date with new releases or distro hopping, I just git clone my environment with a bin path and distro specific environment variables.

Fyi /usr/local/bin is for system wide applications, freebsd and it’s friends use it for non-core software installs.

Unix has had a long running convention of separation between “operating system” and other files, so you can blow away something like /opt or /home without making your system unbeatable.

If you stick stuff under /usr/bin then you have to track the files especially if there are any conflicts.

Best to just add another path, I use ~/bin because it’s easy to get to and it’s a symlink from the git repo that holds my portable environment, just clone it and run a script and I’m home.

No, because they’re milking their old infra as much as they can, and not properly supporting modern technology.

I’m going to need more bullets.
