I can’t blame people given how many parts of the Internet now engage in automated or semi-automated intransparent censorship. Can’t have the general public communicating freely with each other, they might coordinate a revolution or something. So far I trust the fediverse to be relatively immune from that though.

oddly enough those also correspond approximately to how well I (native German speaker) know each of these languages; but why is there a stereotype that us Python devs and Esperantists need to shower more? :(

tests are for confirming your code STILL works if someone ever changes something

so by now even Microsoft acknowledges that it has lost the battle of making computing synonymous with Windows?

FOSS release of Windows when?

Ubuntu supports a wider range of devices than Debian? Since when? I was under the impression that Debian supported all or nearly all architectures the Linux kernel supports, Ubuntu only a few popular ones?

“how to kill orphaned children in Java”

what do you mean Java is also the name of an island

“Can you program in Java?”

“Yes, if you pay for the plane ticket.”

Debian is food at peaceful !

When I ran a public installation of web forum software (more than a decade ago), I got spambot registrations, then I think I just set up a captcha where users had to answer some really simple question; this kept the spambots away.

This is hardly programmer humor… there is probably an infinite amount of wrong responses by LLMs, which is not surprising at all.

OsmAnd (another OSM-based app) allows you to set underlay maps from external sources which will be downloaded from those external sources as needed. I do not know if Organic Maps has this feature too but it can clearly be done.

yeah but that’s just like your opinion man

Pretty sure that is Java, not C#

That is why lots of time zone selectors allow you to select “Europe/Berlin”: then it is clear that depending on the time of year this is UTC+1 or UTC+2.

plenty of APIs in Java have documentation like that and it is worst when I read the documentation in order to find out the definition of the nouns and verbs used there and then it is just like that

the thing is that not all of them use systemd or bash or zsh or even X11 (servers don’t usually have X11 installed)

All of them use a Linux kernel and many components that were originally developed for GNU, especially the C library.

GTK being a part of GNU (at least originally)

“The OS” doesn’t exist. The operating systems you’re talking about are called Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, RHEL, etc etc. The main work of making an actually usable OS from the various free software components others have written has always been done by the teams responsible for these products.

But we still need a way to refer to them collectively, and it used to make sense to call them “Linux” because they were pretty much the only operating systems that used the Linux kernel, but now that Android is the most widely used OS on the planet, it doesn’t anymore, and this alone is a reason to say GNU/Linux unless you want to include Android.

TBH I fail to see the significant difference between this and a function declaration.
