Ok, I suppose I misunderstood your comment. I thought it was about the actual lead kernel developers and not all Linux-related devs in general and thought to myself “Well, Torvalds is a married man and most other maintainers I’ve ever seen didn’t look that out of the ordinary”.

Again, not to take away anything from anybody, but maybe that explains my surprise to that comment.

Name me one, please.

No meant as a transphobic remark, to clarify. Just curiosity.

Not bad.

What riff?

Dude I love Placebo!

Seems like a cheap excuse, the law doesn’t say specifically that.

But, of course, manufacturers like to lock down their devices as much as possible. And such laws play into their hands.

Since when is this the case?

I thought it was one of the original peepys at first.

Oh, now I understand. They were just missing a comma between “off” and “lemmy”, super sweet! :)

Technically, the title doesn’t say “first”, but yeah, kind of. :)

Super anecdotal, but I’ve seen a few instances of those in my time as sysadmin.

Whether it was just failed or malfunctioning updates, I can’t tell, but I’ve had to deal with Windows not starting correctly after automatic updates multiple times.

Then there was the whole bricked HP laptop story recently, where automatic updates just randomly killed a lot of systems. We have multiple HP laptops in the company, though none were affected, but I can’t say I wasn’t sweating a little bit those days.

Same here actually, I first saw those photos in a recent post a few days ago, just can’t remember which one, though.

It is truly a work of art.
