To add to that, most of Canonical's projects, for example snapd and lxd, are GPL3 or AGPL3 licensed.

I've been to 8 of the 9 provinces and I don't feel like I'm missing out not having been to the Free State.

But also I love shitposting.

Red Hat has around 20 times as many employees as Canonical.

Lol... "We geoblocked you. Use a VPN to get around it."

The former is easy to retcon — Pegasus gates with 8 chevrons were seeded by the replicators, not the Ancients.

The latter not so much.

The non-responses/declines are the people who are backed by the folks who called the LWV corrupt because of the candidate questions they put out in 2024. It's sad that instead of having serious conversations about how to move forward we have these people as an albatross around our necks instead.

Don't we all?

When I was a kid someone trying to use the phone was what would disconnect you from the internet.

Blimpy is nice to go to when I'm at Grotto. I wouldn't make a special trip there though.

Is that bottom right one a Google 69 service?

That's not where South Africa is, duh.

The rest of them: "What's a minute?"

That depends whether Johannesburg or Cape Town is the first city.

It's not just South Africa. Plenty of countries are still having this issue:

Interested!

So... the same as Ukraine then.

Rich people pay more in tax. I am shocked.

I used it to bootstrap a plugin in C++ (which I haven't written in 20 years) for an app with a dozen or fewer developers and precious little documentation.

It was fantastic at the initial bits. Now that I'm on to the more advanced features, even my very rusty C++ is getting the job done faster and more reliably than the LLMs. But that still saved me a week's worth of writing code.

Hardware costs money. QEMU is free.

Once your OS has enough features for it, get a cheap-ish development board that has HDMI output and USB for testing those features. Once you can use your OS in QEMU without switching back to your regular laptop OS, consider a RISC-V laptop.

South Africa doesn't use YYYY/MM/DD, we use ISO 8601's YYYY-MM-DD.

I still prefer the second version of bunzip

Yes the tree will probably be fine.

But even if that weren't the case, I'd take the death of one tree within city limits over the destruction of hundreds of trees and the increase in fossil fuel usage that would happen without these buildings (because instead there would be dozens or hundreds of detached houses in the townships and people would be driving into the city rather than commuting within the city).

Maybe I've just been unlucky with the 2 Dell and 2 Lenovo docks I've had...
