Is there something wrong with Earth’s gravity in the future?

As long as possible.

Either it dies, or the battery does and there’s no longer replacements available; or, the manufacturer stops updating it and a there’s no support for a third party OS.

Distance.

Space is incomprehensibly big.

They don’t have to visit us to exist!

The likely hood of said aliens visiting us is also zero.

He likelyhood of this planet being the only place in the universe some complex proteins folded a billion years ago is zero.

And are missing 90% of the features making them far superior to the installed versions.

Back in the before times, you could trivially wear out the media. A floppy disk only lasted so long, a CD could get scratched and damaged.

Just like a book can wear out in another thread.

The content of said medium is information and that doesn’t “get used up”.

Perversely that might be true.

Plenty of people vote based on their tribe be it red, blue, green, whatever.

If they voted for policy that actually benefitted them…

Don’t forget to that your call, regardless of any transmission protection, isn’t private if there’s anyone within earshot of either participant.

Hearing impaired people also prove that even being in earshot isn’t required.

The bigger question is that if Debian and Ubuntu have conflicting policies, what does that mean for upstreaming changes from Ubuntu to Debian?

It would eventually result in Ubuntu drifting even farther from God Debian.

Also, downstream distributions from Ubuntu might themselves choose a conflicting policy with similar problems.

Grub typically stores the uuid of the root filesystem in the kernel command line arguments (I can’t quite remember if that’s the right name it not).

Have a look at the grub configuration when in the grub menu and you should see it there.

Flaw. The flaw in my argument.

That was the point. There is no providence given for those numbers, so me pulling some more out of thin air is exactly as valid.

I’d have assumed at least 100m, maybe 200m, deaths for ol’ commies.

Let’s say I’m under estimating that by a factor of, say, ten?

Then it’s only about even.

The few that I’ve read are, quite literally, the only books I’ve considered burning.

I even gave KJA a sporting chance and read his seven book Saga of Seven Suns.

Garbage.

This is, of course, only my opinion. People are allowed to like different things.

The US could never tell the difference…

Last time I did this I used btrfs.

Add the new drive to the system, create partitions, add the new volume and then remove the old one, btrfs moves all the blocks to the new drive.

The ESP partition is small enough and FAT- enough to just use cp.

Second System Syndrome otherwise know as ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water’.

X11 is old, extraordinarily old for software. As such, the problems it solves are not really problems anymore.

Rather than gradually evolving X11, into say X12, the whole thing got dumped on the trash pile and a brand new entirely incompatible thing called Wayland was started from scratch.

Replacing software with literally hundreds (if not thousands) of person-years of development devoted to it over its lifetime is hard. Which meant that Wayland had an unfeasibly steep hill to climb, as such it’s early days were tumultuous and it got a bit of a bad rap.

There is far more (qualitative and quantitative) history than will fit into this margin comment.

Ah yes The Nice and Accurate Predictions of Agnes Nutter, Witch.

It arbitrarily hides some of your data based on some asshole’s petulance.

I think it’s actually the other way around.

E.g. oral history can still be written or recorded (audio or video).
