I feel the importance of user privileges distinction, as I see it from a server perspective and organization managed devices. Some would argue the insignificance of this in the personal desktops.

However, I believe that the community structure of Linux is benefiting everyone. It is a general purpose kernel, that gets improvements from various different sectors. In the current space, where most servers run Linux and most desktops run Windows, desktops are not benefiting from filesystem or scheduling optimizations implemented for servers.

I had a look at Haiku some months ago. Its single user architecture is an interesting choice. I mean, you don't need to worry about privilege escalation exploits, if you are always fully privileged /s

Care to elaborate?

Wait until you learn about the Linux kernel and the plethora of modules and patches

This guy is also a DJ. There is a Traktor console at the left.

In the search results, I think, the first file is Python (.py) and the other is React Typescript (.tsx)

What would happen if all users start using adblockers, or the value of ads starts to fall?

I do not support the current, ad-driven, model of the internet. However, since the costs of subscriptions are increasing, while salaries are going downhill, it is apparent that ads is (seemingly) the only viable choice for now.

In the economy we currently live in, all of world's wealth is slowly moving to ad networks.

Even donation driven models are currently straggling. Just look at the fediverse. The people donating to their instances are not enough to sustain them.

Capitalism has absolutely destroyed everything. The greed of stakeholders has milked most people. At some point people will stop buying the useless things or services promoted via advertisements, just because they will not be able to afford them. Then, no subscriptions, no point of advertising, no donators, no people hosting fediverse instances, just world hunger.

Judging by the colors, this is a new photo. It's not yellow.

So, you guys never had to live in a badly designed apartment, because you couldn't afford a better one.

I have been living like this in Greece for about 3 years.

You also need to ln -s /dev/null /dev/nul

In bash, when you redirect the output of a command to /dev/null, like cat /etc/passwd >/dev/null, you are silencing the output.

There are cases that this is useful, for example when checking if an application is installed:

node -v >/dev/null && echo "Node.js is installed"

This line tries to get the version of Node.js, but it silences the output. That's because we don't care about the version. We only care about whether the execution was successful, which implies the existence of Node.js in the system.
