I know it's not the sub for it however some people might like to know: the open source tool Rufus, when noticing that you're creating a Win11 USB, will by default offer to patch it to remove the TPM requirement and other restrictions. So now I have W11 happily running on an "unsupported" machine. Yes, I did have Linux on it previously but something has regressed in the kernel in the last year or two and it often freezes on wake, which is well beyond my care factor to help debug.

This is a good point. I assumed here that FS advocates will be basically opposed to a technology that serves to incorporate their code into software that does not provide the fundamental freedoms to end users, more than those who license their work permissively. But yes you could imagine an FS advocate who is quite happy to use the tech themselves and churn out code with GPL attached.

Why is this LLM trying to teach me about acyclic graphs in the middle of an article about Linux platform support?

I was thinking about this some more and the severed floor would be an outstanding setting for a modern RP MUD. Character classes could be the different departments and you could develop your character's skills and earn rewards. Maybe there could be some new spins on the genre like hallway paths are randomised per person and you need help to learn to reach other departments, or you have a limited budget for actions that cause restrictions or send you to the break room.

AFAICT this is super mundane. Devs added some checks that when run will drop .hdrtest files all over the source tree when you do a normal build. This is really unclean and has practical ramifications even if you gitignore them as Linus points out. Pretty much any lead developer would be upset if someone tried to merge something like this in a software project, and it has essentially nothing to do with the particular drivers or code functionality.

As a rule I don't directly quote bboard messages elsewhere, even if they're mundane or from the admin. Just a bit of respect to folks who aren't posting on the web and might not want to be.

I mean, maybe? But what does the revolution even want? Stable non-creepy jobs and 40 hours a week subtracted from their outies' lives so they can progress their office romance during breaks?

I'm leaning towards some goal that's more specific to Helena's situation. Since her father has taken an interest in her innie behaviour it's likely that she'll get to continue as Helly R in some capacity but who even knows what his goals are at this point.

I'm cautiously optimistic there's something else Helly R and Mark S can do (or think they can do) and we just don't know where they're running to yet. Mark S knows his work is done, especially after what he did to Drummond, regardless of what he thinks about his outie's motivations. If you were at that exit stairwell (can he even use it? Helly couldn't 🤷) and you knew that life inside was 100% hopeless then surely you'd take your chances with your outie's reintegration.

OTC was a convenient plot development for making the situation more flexible and it wouldn't surprise me if we see another.
