It would seem that GNU/Linux or Linux (whatever the user-accessing operating system is called) is the only OS that must mention its kernel. No one calls Windows the NT operating system, nor does anyone call Mac OS the Darwin operating system. So why should Linux be the exception?

When I think of GNU, I think of a project that had a very particular goal in mind: build an operating system that replaces Unix with entirely free software. The project got nearly all the way there, but before they got a usable kernel working, Torvalds licensed his kernel with the GPL. With the Linux kernel combined with GNU, we have an OS the GNU project set out to create. So why should Torvalds get all the credit? Without calling the OS GNU, most people don’t even know how or why it came to be.

I could see a valid argument to just simply call the OS GNU. It was the name the original team gave the project to have a fully functional OS made with entirely free software. True, Torvalds didn’t write Linux for GNU, but neither did the X Window System. A Kernel is essential for operation though, so I can see why the name GNU/Linux was proposed.

“This place has got everything!”

With the way generative AI is progressing, I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.

Patent trolling.

Apparently, Scots and Irish believe British == English. Or, they can’t stand the thought of being labeled in any similar category as the English.

Maybe things have changed since I’ve last tried it (10 years or so), but I thought Fedora Rawhide was at the most bleeding edge of experimental packages.

I’m still waiting for Kingdom Hearts… How long has it been now?

With the new restrictions that mods can’t retroactively become paid mods, nor can they be dependent on others sounds fine on paper.

But consider what having this kind of system in place will do for future games and mods. I believe this will discourage collaboration and ultimately will cause a decline in quality. If paid mods can’t build off of others, then there would be less incentive or option to build integration of mods. Anyone remember mods like cobl, cm partners, and fcom for Oblivion? Those would be impossible with paid mods. And since most modders would (rightfully so) like to maximize their income, I reckon many would exclusively make their portfolio be paid mods, even with restrictions on what they can build.

However, within these 10 years, he could do damages that will long outlast him.

I would imagine there are a lot of challenges around converting high rise commercial buildings into housing. Many buildings only have a handful of toilets per floor, maybe a few sinks, and no showers. I’m also sure there are no gas lines in many of them (electric heating and cooking might suffice). But for sure, water delivery will be one of the biggest challenges.

Then there are even lame laws regarding parking requirements for a building with so many residents.

I would imagine it would be like Arm pumping.

I prefer them to be exFAT.

Fun trivia about the Xbox controller is that their design is heavily influenced by Sega’s. The Xbox controller has the same face button layout as the Dreamcast’s. And if you compare the Duke (original fat) controller to a Saturn/Genesis/Mega Drive 6-button controller, you can think of those black and white buttons as the former C and Z buttons.

Some consider the OG Xbox as a successor to the Dreamcast.

I suspect this holds true to any base x numbering where you take the highest valued digit and multiply it by any number. Try it with base 2 (1), 4 (3), 16 (F) or whatever.
