I’m kind of a beginner… Can someone explain why you would make/use/have a dynamically and/or weak typed language? Is it just to not write some toInteger / as u64 / try_from()? I mean the drawbacks seem to outweigh the benefits…

It can only go wrong for the lands my people will conquer for me >:D

I disagree. It’s very detailed and I think it can both help a novice and help a novice become less of a novice.

I don’t get it… Does this tiny change ruin it for you?

Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu…

I like GNOME because I don’t want customizability.

OK, I like a bit of customizability, but I’m not a designer and trying to make things look consistent and nice is a pain. I once spent days making an icon theme work in Xfce (the freedesktop standards for naming icons are not followed by anyone… (meaning both Xfce and icon themes))

I use GNOME as is and accept it and everything is swell.

Also I use a laptop and I’m addicted the three-finger swipe window preview…

That’s because of monopolies… There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own…

What’s going on?! Everyone claiming they own X… while in fact everyone owns X…

If you play backgammon you remember where things are

Ok. I understand what you are saying, and there might be historical reasons for the founders of Rocky to believe they can defend better against a takeover by being a PBC. I don’t know if that’s true, I’m not a lawyer. The thing is that if an organization can legally make a profit, I don’t trust that it does not. I’m not trying to insult Greg Kurtzner, I don’t know him. But I wouldn’t need to trust him if they had made a non-profit.

And sure, Alma exists because of funding from corporate interests, but so does the Linux kernel, and GNOME, and probably a large percentage of free software. That’s the point of copyleft, when companies improve free software it remains free.

Personally I’ve never used RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, or AlmaLinux. I was just curious why Fermilab and CERN chose Alma instead of Rocky, which I had heard about more. I found out and I believe they did the right thing, hence the headline. I have no fucking agenda. (maybe you do)

PS: The whole thing, including this post, assumes that Alma and Rocky have the same goal (which apparently is no longer true), and that non-profits can make no money (which… WTF IKEA).

What the fucking fuck!!!

WTF!

Haven’t read The True Story of Ah Q yet. I liked A Madman’s Diary!

A friend told me, and I confirmed, that it is inspired by Gogol’s story of the same name, which I haven’t read yet.

Call to Arms, by Lu Xun

It’s a short story collection. I’m actually at the beginning, I’ve only read two stories so far. Kong Yiji is really good!!

• GNU & Linux (Debian)
• TeX & LaTeX (TeX Live)
• Firefox

Edit (forgot):

• qBitTorrent
• Signal

PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P

Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard…
