Fighting Theory with Avital Ronell
"The delay in bringing in the FHS, which was expected to come into force next year, is also likely to mean hundreds of thousands of new homes will be built with gas heating, despite soaring costs caused by the Iran war.
Last year, data from the MCS Foundation, a charity that certifies low-carbon installations, showed only 4,000 new-build homes were equipped with low-carbon electric heat pumps, out of about 140,000 homes"
"It is outrageous that people will be buying homes that are expensively heated with gas when we have perfectly good technology – heat pumps – that can be installed instead.
Another two years of this really should not be happening. We are in a war, and a most severe energy crisis, and it would be perfectly easy to ensure all new homes have heat pumps now.”
Prof Jan Rosenow
Yet again Labour has caved to the housebuilding lobby.

Hi all, I recently studied and researched the #FreeBSD handbook and Linux Filesystems Hierarchy Standards (#FHS) and compiled the artifacts in this repo. The goal is to avoid unnecessary conflicts and has a deeper understanding of UNIX vs UNIX-like system by merging them and find the common points among the 2 before advancing further in #FreeBSD development.

Some opinions is appreciated before I mint a research ID for the repository. Next stop is networking.
@rl_dane the systemd crowd is also working on replacing the #FHS with their idea of how a GNU/Linux filesysten should look like 🤮 according to LWN.
They’re good at appropriating general-sounding names (first freedesktop.org now "Linux #UAPI group") for themselves to be able to say (from the systemd side) that "an independent standards group" (staffed with their people) is doing the change.
"But it’s not just people from #systemd but also from […], Debian, […]" they say. Yes, strictly speaking the systemd maintainers in Debian, who are responsible for lots and lots of breakage on users’ systems hy forcing through their stuff, are "people from Debian".
Oh, and they also have a token subgroup where someone not from the systemd/gnome/fdo crowd is working on somethi g totally unrelated to be able to say they’re not an sd/g/fdo-only ship, even if both in practice and for this specific project fully they are.
