*pedant, and while I am one, I did not commit any pedantry here.

I can tell you didn’t read the article and are only reacting to the headline, because this isn’t about students.

Any betting platform has clear quantifiable criteria for each wager. I’m sure if you looked, they’re have criteria for this too.

Overmorrow

Four words seems a fair metric for the shortest descriptive headline. I mean, can you beat “Foot Heads Arms Body”? The only shorter ones are “man bites dog”, “Dewey defeats Truman”, or something as simple as “WAR” when everyone already knows the details and this is just the official announcement.

Possibly. The BBC made a big row about Apple’s headlines: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v778x85yo

You can also pin ones you use often.

That’s not a spoon. This is a spoon.

initramfs is a compressed filesystem, not an execution context. But it must be possible to print text even before initramfs loads, e.g. to display an error if it fails.

If you don’t have a good answer, it’s better to just not comment.

And besides, if they were wrong, it would very quickly not matter any more.

How else are you going to display anything at boot time?

No, it is a terrible idea. The lock is not the weak point on the luggage, it’s the zipper.

Does anything change if you change refresh rates or display scaling? Or change between X11 and Wayland?

the KDE Plasma desktop at 38.36%, nearly doubling the share of GNOME, which sits at 19.84%

Then xfce at ~11% and cinnamon, mate, etc. to round it out.

Yes. That’s why Putin killed Yevgeny Prigozhin and took control of Wagner Group.

For that reason, I don’t think a line should be drawn. Much like abortion, it should be a choice.

Maybe. But are these people thankful for that pain and suffering? Van Gogh was a great painter, but he killed himself for that suffering. Frida Kahlo used painting as a coping strategy for her illnesses, and saw death as a release, waiting in her journal: “I hope the exit is joyful and i hope never to return.”

I think, given the choice, we should choose not to create such suffering.

Citizen Kane.

You watch it now, and it’s just a regular movie. But in 1941, it was incredibly unorthodox. It set the benchmark for modern movies.
