Actually the naming scheme you propose e.g. USB4 80Gb is the real naming scheme! It's officially what the specification demands manufacturers label their products. "USB4 version 2" and so on are explicitly only the names of the internal standards that only concern people writing drivers or designing chips.

I have no idea what tech journalist are smoking. This has been a problems for so many years but they keep using the internal names. I mean nobody is complaining about having to always say "IEEE 802.11bn" instead of WI-FI 8

Reimplements in C

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

change code so it no longer segfaults

still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

everybody dies

Of course i cannot say whether this is thefirst time this joke was made.

There are portals: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html#portals . they allow secure access to many features. Also any flatpak app still has access to a private app-specific filesystem, just not to the host.

Doesn't work for all applications but for many sand boxing is possible without a loss of features.

Edit: the meme says “closed source” which is patently false for Mongo

~~No, MongoDB is closed source, proprietary software. You might be confusing open source with source available.~~

Edit: Actually I am wrong sorry. Closed source is not the opposite of open source. I didn't read your comment exactly enough. MongoDB is not open source, it's not free software, it is source available and thus not closed source. The things below are still true but don't contradict what you said.

The SSPL is not a free software license and it is not an open source license. The OSI said so:

The only "drama" I recall is that one guy, who ran an unofficial forum, went on a weird rant about how Godot is a scam because he thought development was too slow or something. He then shut down his unofficial forum. That's a long shot from "being destroyed".

But maybe I missed something?

(Edit: I had misspelled "forum" as "form". Sorry if that confused anybody)

I get screen tearing when gaming on x11 so i use wayland and I only switch to x11 if i need to screenshare on discord.

Well it being in the middle of a desert makes it more wasteful.

But yes giant festivals that encourage a lot of travel and needlessly burning things are in general wasteful and potentially excessive. There are other leisure activities, so discouraging festivals is not equivalent to working nonstop.

The problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed I have is that so far I've never been able to install it. For all other Linux distros I can just get the ISO and use virt-manager to create a VM. But openSUSE never manages to boot. Any ideas why? I'd love to try it.

Edit: I'm trying it again now and i made it into the installer now

Edit2: installed it and am trying it out. Looks good on first glance but some packages that i'd really need to use it as a daily driver appear not to be present, like gnome-shell-extension-appindicator or gnome-shell-extension-caffeine

Maybe it's a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?

I think the explanation was needed. Even if one knows about interrupts, it's easy to misunderstand the meme. For example i thought it was a joke about a person writing assembly and being used to 32 bit code and thus mistyping %rax as %eax, and I've seen another comment here referencing "muscle memory". (Obviously the interrupt interpretation makes way more sense and it's funnier)

Just today I was wondering why I only have a 500GB sata ssd in my Laptop and then I realized that I bought it in 2018 and the price difference was just not worth it at the time. Nowadays it feels like one might as well get a 2TB nvme. If prices keep falling like this soon a 4x4TB nvme NAS will be positively cheap!
