Why does that website use React by Facebook?

Honestly, the EU seems to be not the best place to write operating systems.

The most actively developed version of Plan 9, 9front, is from Germany, but that's not what most people want to use, I guess. Best I can do is non-American (OpenBSD). I'm open for ideas myself though!

What about OpenSUSE, Ubuntu etc? Both European based firms.

Canonical (based in London) is not really "from the EU" anymore. ;-) No, I know what you mean...

However: Yes, those are European Linux distributors. They distribute an U.S. operating system kernel together with an U.S. userland (GNU), an U.S. init system (systemd), several U.S. desktops (most commonly, Gnome, although KDE is German, at least)...

If you get your Windows installation from an European distributor, is it a European product?

considering their (...) contributor network.

Microsoft has employees in Europe. Does that count? If it doesn't, why does it count for Linux?

Still, it's probably off-topic in the "buy from EU" community. No EU products are involved here.

I honestly don't know (I usually hand-wire my frontends). Sorry.

Linux is - legally - a U.S. product, backed by a U.S. Foundation, led by a U.S. citizen. Just saying.

Oder man installiert sich einfach OpenBSD und nutzt das Gerät weiterhin auch auf Plattformen, die Linux seit Jahren ohne technische Notwendigkeit aus dem Support geschmissen hat. Oder will man sich echt von Linus Torvalds vorschreiben lassen, ab wann man neue Geräte zu kaufen und seine alten wegzuschmeißen hat?

It is incredibly funny to read that website's source code:

* @license React
 * react.production.js
 *
 * Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates.

Worst boycott ever.

FYI, the Linux trademark, the Linux Foundation and Linus Torvalds are U.S.-based.

The bulk of commercial servers run Linux, and a hobbyist would find Linux easily the most accessible option.

FWIW, I think FreeBSD is a massively superior server system.

Und 2024 luden die Deutschen ihre Befreier nicht mehr zum Jahrestag der Befreiung ein. Und konfiszierten die Flaggen derer, deren Taten sie zu feiern behaupten.

Ja gut, direkt unerwartet ist davon jetzt hoffentlich nichts.

 

TL;DR: Wählen lohnt sich nicht.

 
 
 

Kurze Erklärung der kommenden Hochrechnungen.

 

I kept my promise and wrote something in Lisp.

This has a few rough edges yet, for which I’m sorry. I’m proud enough to release it though. Please don’t consider this to be “finished software” yet. :-)

 

Ich finde die Entwicklung nicht gut, aber dieser Blogger hätte 2-3 Ideen, wie man sie aufhält.

Oder man macht halt weiter so.

 
 
 

Als Ergänzung zu meinem vorherigen Maimai vielleicht noch eine Erklärung dazu, was mich am Parlamentarismus eigentlich stört.

Wo bleibt eigentlich die Revolution?

 
 

For a reason not worth mentioning here, I would like to write a somewhat more complex awk script in which I would have to explain in detail what I am doing. (If only so that I'll still know next week.) There doesn't seem to be a way to wrap a list of conditions in GNU awk, right?

This is what I tried:

command-that-prints-a-table | awk '
    NR>1 &&                # Skip line 1
    NF>2 &&                # Skip lines with only one column
    substr($1,1,1) != "("  # Skip lines that start with a "("
    { print $1 }
'

Alas, that does not work - awk skips the conditions entirely and only runs print $1. It seems that escaping the newlines does not work either, which makes sense as the end of the lines are comments.

This would work:

command-that-prints-a-table | awk '
# - Skip line 1
# - Skip lines with only one column
# - Skip lines that start with a "("
    NR>1 && NF>2 && substr($1,1,1) != "("  { print $1 }
'

But - my original code has a few more conditions - it is rather annoying to read and maintain. Is there an elegant way to fix this?
