What am I missing?

Linux has been out in the open and running shit since the 1990s.

How exactly is that a secret?

It's nice knowing that little startups like Sony are finally getting noticed.

I thought about that after making my post.

Just like there are shitloads of bad SD cards (no-name, unbranded, generic, etc.), it's just as cheap and easy for any random company to produce their own SSD and get it in circulation on the market just like legitimate SSDs.

Any SSD that could be damaged by a swap file is not an SSD you should have anywhere near your system in the first place (even if you never plan on putting a swap file on it).

My thought on this:

If it was bad, wouldn't we know by now?

SSD-only systems have been a thing for over a decade, and SSDs themselves have been around for decades.

If standard swap files damage SSDs, someone probably would have said something.

Mr. Stallman would be angry if you didn't define it as the Linux kernel plus the GNU stuff that you need to do things with the kernel.

Kernel + environment = OS

Well, you see, first amendment and all that.

Trump just happened to be recorded while saying out loud some random thoughts he happened to have at that particular moment.

He wasn't telling anyone to do anything, and his words were not targeted to anyone in particular.

Just because he happened to be on the phone with someone is completely coincidental and totally unrelated.

So, any attempt to charge Trump with a crime would mean that you are ONLY criminalizing THOUGHTS and SPEECH.

Checkmate.

This is basically the explanation Trump used in regards to the recent threat he made on Truth Social about going after anyone that goes after him.

I was surprised when I heard the company that makes scissors at my kid's school had made the jump to automobiles. Then I realized that Fisker and Fiskars are different.

I've been running ZFS for around 12 years (on FreeBSD and Linux) and I'm not sure why anyone would ever use anything else.

It's got the age, community, and wide acceptance that makes it a proven safe & reliable option.

Now I wish to see a series of comics like this, each with various characters.
