PSA TO ALL PARENTS: Please quit traumatizing your child and calling it a life lesson and love. Go get the counseling you need. Otherwise your just preparing them for the military. But if that's your preferred method by all means do so. But when that beautiful baby of yours graduates from your basic training, please give them the medal they deserve. They worked hard for it.

Is it just me or do gnome updates take longer than KDE? (Under Debian and over all)

Just in case you didn't realize it before - there are 3 major religions in this world that all follow the same God but have different interpretations of wtf happened after they split from the original texts. Their God didn't change, they just did.
The first one decided that they're right, and no other prophets came along after their prophets.
The second one said, "we accept most of your religion but this guy showed up and he's the son of God"
The third one said, "Look, we're all brothers, that guy was cool but he wasn't the son of God. We have a new prophet and we got an updated rulebook from God and we're gonna follow that."
Now all 3 of them (plus the 4 versions of the first one, the 6 versions of the second one and 7 versions of the 3rd one) all argue about who's right - and have spent centuries letting political leaders use their faith to inspire each other to kill one another for their faith.
And there is no end in sight for this bullshit.

I'm on the night train from Kolari to Helsinki, returning from a work gig. This is the longest distance direct train trip in Finland, covering most of the country. It lasts around 11+ hours with around 900km distance.

I've always wanted to take one of these trains, as most of the train is sleeper cabins. Check out mine!

The lag between inventing something and understanding its consequences is roughly 10 years. Social media (2010→2020), smartphones (2007→2017).

That lag is about to get shorter.

One person with a laptop can now do what took a company 20 years ago. Unfortunately, that one person is launching 47 mediocre SaaS products and a crypto scam.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
