The more seasoned commenters are used to this, everyone else just needs to ketchup.
I was a bit confused too as I was pretty sure this was old news. Here's a NASA article from 2023 with more information.
Tsk. Cigarettes are bad for you. They'll have to make do with just the wall.
Debian can install without systemd, you can use SysV init and udev instead. So far I've had no particular problems with it, and the more people who do it, the better support is likely to be.
I can't help you much with the systemd issue, frustrating issues like that drive me round the bend too.
Absolutely. It's a simple design that makes it easy to find things in the dark, and provides plenty of storage space for various bits and bobs you might want easy access to before bed or in the morning (not just that, get your mind out of the gutter!). Make sure at least one of the cubbies are large enough to take an oversized hardback book, and ideally have some space under it to hide an extension cord so you can plug in your phone charger and a bedside lamp.
How do such people program?
They don't. They used to copy and paste stuff they found on the internet, then when it doesn't work they made a barely coherent post on Stack Exchange, or maybe the issue tracker of one of the packages they think they're using. I suppose that nowadays they copy and paste whatever they get out of the LLM de jour, then try to tell it that it didn't work, copy and paste the answer and repeat until it either compiles or they finally give up and post to an issue tracker.
Seriously. Can you imagine, you've had this process running quietly for years, and it's getting you round some awkward tax or import restriction somewhere, you're making a tidy extra profit, and you don't even feel too bad about fidfling the paperwork a bit, after all, who's going to notice, a bunch of flightless birds? Then along comes the orange idiot and his cadre of fascists and accidentally expose you because they don't understand how to rationally calculate tarrifs and just get an intern to copy and paste from the nearest LLM.
It's laughing at this sort of thing that's jeeping me sane right now.
It's got to be something like that, there was something like $1.3m of machinery exports from an island populated by penguins. Someone was doing something naughty, and whilst the way these tarrifs are calculated is idiotic, it's fun that it's exposed sonething like this.
That probably explains why he wants to buy one despite being a citizen already. I'd guess he thinks it'll mean he wont be taxed on overseas income either. Figuring out whether he's currently paying any, and if so how much is left as an exercise for the interested reader.
I assume they mean 12% per annum, compounded daily, but I'd prefer your reading of it.
That's definitely the American version, in most places they'd be wearing their uni-form to go to school anyway!
Surely they want to join the band so they can play their horn?
