I mean she isn’t wrong.

Pissing into the wind.

Try giving them catnip

Wish you luck 🤞

Nope, haha. OpenSuse is old.

This is an amazing graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg

OpenSuse comes from Suse which comes from Jurix and Slackware. There’s a dotted line from Redhat, because of the use of the RPM format, but that is as far as their interbred. Many people consider it one of the OG distros.

Arch sprang from the aether later, but one could argue it owes Gentoo for its concept (also a dotted line there).

Debian is an OG. It, Redhat, and Suse are approximately the same age.

Slackware on the other hand just keeps going.

gramie already mostly answered in line with what I’d say: there is an alt-right political shift there, where the lunatics are running the asylum and we keep expecting for sanity to re-emerge. Every country has a pocket like this somewhere. Most people in Calgary are perfectly nice, in the same way that most people in Omaha are perfectly nice, until a trans person is on TV.

Nice kitties

Aha, “just south of me”, I say from a thousand miles away.

If you’re a mountains person, yeah BC is the place to be. But it’s also same-same as what you can see in a lot of places in the US in the mountains. Like, you won’t tell the difference between much of BC and much of Washington.

If you’ve got the time, go straight north from your location. Way way north. Go to Yellowknife, and do it in March – it’s about three days driving. You’ll get there and they’ll have northern lights galore, ice castles on the lake, people driving their trucks on the ice to their houseboats that have just frozen into the ice for the season…

Or go in summer and go fishing there. The lake is 600m (1900ft) deep… Trout like tuna.

Unsolicited advice ends ;)

Meow.

Or come to Canada. We’re mostly nice. Ignore those bots in Albertastan

Yeah, that’s been a long term problem for them.

Someone sold them a bridge, it seems.

The hydrogen economy will never exist in a profitable or stable way provided most hydrogen is sourced from natural gas wells. It’s a “value add” for existing producers, and a way to say they can’t shut off the wells.

Hydrogen created by electrolysis of water is not energy efficient.

I don’t want to see a modern Japan on war footing. I also don’t want to see a modern China on war footing. But here we go.

I thought GCC dropped support for compiling to the abacus?

1.5% per month. Don’t compare directly to your home country’s annual inflation yet. Unless you’re Turkey or Russia.

Someone I know was in St Petersburg last week. The government shut down the internet due to this meeting, and we totally lost touch with them. But the internet being shut down in a major Russian city to quash any attempt to protest doesn’t even make news anymore.

Exactly
