That doesn’t apply as a solution here. After all Jia Tan did make pull requests, the pressure came later.

Yes, if I recall correctly the Darwin kernel does implement the POSIX standard.

Agreed, and since we’re at it, same for compilers honestly.

Yeah if we narrow the question down to specifically consumer level OSes, then the best chance would be if some really big conglomerate decided they needed their own independent thing. Like Google did with Fuchsia, next time Samsung or the Chinese State perhaps. But even then a scenario like Android or Tizen would be the more likely outcome, a different userland implemented on Linux.

Ich bin davon auch genervt, die sollen einfach mal von meinem Nein ausgehen und nicht immer noch rumbetteln.

The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.

And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)

PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.

Yeah of course! Once I went on a buying spree of used WNDR3700. They were so cheap and I won a few too many bids at once.

I gave one to a flatmate when we lived together as students and he took it with when he moved out. Put one in the office room of my current flatmate and still have one or two in reserve. I usually take one with me to LAN-parties.

Before that I once used DD-WRT on a WRT54GL. It also wasn’t bad from what I remember.

You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

I think that the ones who revolted against their preparatory enshittification aren’t Reddit users anymore (hence why I’m here), and the ones who didn’t revolt won’t do it now either.

Meine verrückte Hoffnung ist immernoch, dass GOG das Thema Filme und Serien vielleicht eines Tages aufgreifen kann.

Und für die Schweiz entsprechend toppreise.ch, ist nicht immer perfekt kategorisiert, aber sie korrigieren auch schnell was man auf der Seite meldet.

Edit: Sorry ich dachte wir seien bei /c/dach, sind wir nicht, also war ich etwas offtopic… aber ich lasse den Kommentar jetzt trotzdem stehen.

Dubios? Das habe ich jetzt nicht erwartet.

Galaxus bzw Digitec ist wohl das Paar der bekanntesten Onlinshops der Schweiz. Entstanden ist Galaxus aus Digitec als die zugehörige generellere (nicht nur IT) Schwesterseite. 2015 wurde die Digitec Galaxus AG mehrheitlich von Migros gekauft, von der grössten schweizerischen Supermarktkette.

Don’t downvote this guy. He’s mostly right. Creative works have copyright protections from the moment they are created. The relevant question is indeed if they have the relevant permissions for their use, not wether it had protections in the first place.

Maybe some surveillance camera footage is not sufficiently creative to get protections, but that’s hardly going to be good for machine reinforcement learning.

It seems really uncommon to me. I’m aware of only Israel doing this, while I know that Switzerland, Finland, Austria, Germany 15 years ago, when they still used the militia, and Thailand do not. In the US I believe only men have to register for the draft.

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?

It is.

And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?

Because you’re reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?

Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.

It seems pretty easy to me, and I’m not even a native speaker.

My wife tells me that using as an adjective is just as bad and that I should always say “woman”, e.g. a woman politician and never a female politician.

Using a noun as an adjective is just weird, honestly.

If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.

in a couple hundred more countries

There are only around 195 countries in the first place and the EU represents 27 of them. So I’m afraid there isn’t a couple hundred more available to fine Apple.

Premium product experience

The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just “okay”.
