I’ve been using Ubuntu for years and I literally had no idea. Admittedly, I don’t deal with servers or anything, so I guess some of the stuff coming from their package respositories could be “snap” format and I wouldn’t really notice.
What the hell is a snap?
Slackware circa 1996
I was surprised that Stewart was so glib.
Yes, watching video on your phone, in short bites, is “like” TV, and arguably some of that content can come from full-fledged “TV shows” with diverse talent and production companies and cable distribution…
But surely it has not escaped Stewart’s notice that a shocking amount of eyeball time is now on video content that is not produced by mainstream media – instead made by small creators & online teams working from their homes. And if you doubt the impact of that, go down to Walmart or Target and spend some time on the toy aisle. The shelves are PACKED with Baby Shark, Cocomelon, Busy Beavers, Blippi… all of these streaming-first non-mainstream brands that are mostly famous because of Youtube.
It’s odd, because Stewart himself is the one who benefited when cable TV made “narrowcasting” a thing. And now that there are even narrower narrowcasts, he can’t seem to see that it’s an existential threat to his way of making content.

Well, that’s just an excuse for bad leadership.
It was never a question of being technically right or wrong. Linus’ realization was that his inflammatory language was viewed as permission by other people in the Linux community to be verbally abusive to their peers. People who had been valuable contributors to Linux projects explained to Linus how they had been berated by colleagues, and when challenged those colleagues cited Linus’ own language.
What Linus wants is working code, and you don’t get working code by giving tacit permission to your most aggressive & abrasive community members to attack others.
You stop explaining and apologizing.
“We need better training data for our AIs. Let’s introduce some random scramble into search results, and when users have to hunt through the list and pick what they actually wanted instead of the top result, we can use those data to train the AI how to respond to those words when they come up in AI prompts.”

Do they have anything for somebody who is allergic to gnome skin? I’m asking for a friend.
Oh, this is beyond meat, I assure you.

I saw “Pictrs Migration” and I thought was about to open a map porn post regarding the movement of ancient Scots.
FYI, the new official Office default is Aptos. I’ve been making work docs with it for a few weeks and I have to admit, it looks really clean and technical.

Perhaps worth noting, there was a SCOTUS decision in the early 2000s (New York Times Co. v. Tasini) that held that freelance journalists whose contracts did not specifically include an electronic distribution clause were entitled to damages when those articles were subsequently released on the web and to electronic news services like Lexis/Nexis.
Big publications like the NYT came to settlements that allowed them to pay to redistribute the older articles (by paying the original authors), but smaller publications may not have such a settlement structure in place and may not be allowed to redistribute the original articles without additional permissions.
FYI, I have a copy of the Dragon Magazine Archive CD-ROM version that came out in 2001… only to immediately disappear off the market for this very reason!
