That’s not an accurate portrayal of anything though. You’re implying risk management means you’re accepting that the system sucks and the only way to keep it running is to have a backup system.
That’s not what anyone is doing. They are acknowledging the flawed nature of software and humanity in general and guarding against the consequences of this. It’s being smart. Name one distro that has never broken with updates? You cannot because there obviously couldn’t exist one.
I so agree. I admit there are a few celebrities that I like so much that I’d be interested in their life story a bit, but I’m absolutely not following news about them or really even interested in their kids or who they married. Even though those things are a part of them, I would be interested in their earlier life more – how did they become this person? Having said that, most biographies I have read have been snoozefests, sadly. Even when the person is insanely fascinating in an interview about their work, hearing about how they spent their summer in 1968 isn’t usually the most riveting story…

I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…...
How is money created? Some is created by the state, but usually in a financial emergency. For instance, the crash gave rise to quantitative easing – money pumped directly into the economy by the government. The vast majority of money (97%) comes into being when a commercial bank extends a loan.
With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...
Firefox I remember. I feel like the newest version that would install on XP was like v7 or something. an incredibly old version, whatever it was. I think I tried chrome too and maybe couldn’t even find an installer that would work. Can’t remember for sure.
Right. I just think it was overly ambitious. It’s right just enough to earn trust and wrong just enough to burn you. I had a really, really dumb argument once because of that feature
