I know people like to call the holy trinity absurd because of the multiple entities being 1 entity, but I would like to direct your attention to plural people. Holy-trinity-like situations actually occur in real people. Even with different genders.

Intersex God!!! That implies intersex people are divine! Now if only Christians would stop trying to “fix” God’s most divine creations…

The caption looks fine to me, and the premise of the joke makes sense speaking as someone with a rough childhood.

Linux has that issue too. A process in an uninterruptible blocking syscall stays until that syscall finishes, which can be never if something weird’s going on.

KDE can murder windows instantly (you have to set a shortcut), or you can also just send SIGKILL to the process

Why wouldn’t you be able to say seconds on the Internet?

My vote is not an endorsement, it’s a tactical action. Optimizing for as good of a future as I can means not doing “principled” votes sometimes.

It’s sooooo easy to find counter examples to that, like me. But I guess lying is a good strategy for them.

Whores deserve a lot more respect than that

Why does saying genocide bad = Putin’s pet? One can acknowledge that we cannot let Trump win and that Harris has some major issues.

How convoluted was it?

My kind of communism :3

Parts of it seem to be inherently more secure, but there are some pretty glaring holes. At least software distribution is much more secure than the Windows approach.

Arch Linux is a good vision and a tab for the meds

Listening to employees when making decisions, what a concept! It’s a shame many places don’t do that.

Most packages are purely additive to to system. If GNOME is part of the base system, I don’t care because I can just not use it. For packages that are mutually exclusive, well, usually that’s the distro picking it for you anyway, but if you insist on changing them then OverlayFS lets you mask files in the base.

For something like Arch or Gentoo, the read-only partition approach absolutely won’t work, but I know Fedora’s been working on an OSTree immutable approach, so it’s still technically a mutable partition but it’s defined declaratively and is still easy to roll back.

Immutable partitions are amazing for reliability, then you can just OverlayFS your mutable state on top of it

If it was on something like BTRFS it’d probably be fine, though I imagine there’s still a small window where the FS could flush while the file is being written. renameat2 has the EXCHANGE flag to atomically switch 2 files, so if arch maintainers want to fix it they could do

1. Write to temporary file
2. Fsync temporary file
3. Renameat2 EXCHANGE temporary and target
4. Fsync directory (optional, since a background flush would still be atomic, just might take some time)

I think my BIOS has a setting to skip that part
