Giorgio’s wikipedia article has a more recent photo

did the US, just conquer a whole nation overnight?

if you only listen to US media you might think so; at the press conference today Trump said “we’ll run it” as if they already control it, and he also claimed that Vice President (now acting president) Delcy Rodríguez told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “we’ll do whatever you need”. However, a few hours later:

The Vice President of Venezuela demanded the release of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores during the National Defense Council, reaffirming Maduro as the sole president and at the same time announcing the activation of the Citizen Security Agency and national power to defend independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which they denounce as attacked.

so, no, although the US has kidnapped their president, at this point in time they have not actually conquered the nation.

Thanks. I’ve edited the post to link to the same source’s text article instead (and linked the corresponding video this post originally linked to in the post body)

There is only one other in the “notable individuals” section of the English-language southern elephant seal wikipedia article. But, there are a lot of other wikipedias…

The so-called lolrus was actually a southern elephant seal named Minazo. He was born in Uruguay, but spent most of his life in Japan where, measuring 4.5 meters long and weighing around two tons, he was said to be the largest seal in the country. Minazo died in October 2005 at the age of 11, and made his meme debut posthumously in June 2006 on YTMND. To this day Wikipedia considers him “one of the most famous southern elephant seals”. Merzbow released a two-volume album (1, 2) in his memory.

RIP Minazo

1 reason it’s wrong to me: https://nosystemd.org/

Under “Notable bugs and security issues” there is a big list of issues which were all (afaict) fixed many years ago.

There have been reasonable philosophical objections to systemd, some of which are still relevant, and as that site shows there are still many distros without it, but for the vast majority of desktop users who want something that JustWorks… using a mainstream distro with systemd is the way to go.

This blog post from pmOS covers some of the pain of trying to use KDE or GNOME without it.

Microchess was first commercially available in 1976, but chess software was being published long before that.

the years for norris facts and rickroll are correct, but all your base was a meme by 2000 and Leeroy Jenkins happened in 2005.

Would be easier to know how old a kernel release is without looking it up.

I concur, but it would be much easier to make the major version the current year (as many projects do, and Linux should imo) rather than the whole project’s age at the time of a release.

Linux is only 34 years old, btw.

Oh come on, you don’t really believe that Nazi shit, do you?

I have to ask: what’s with all the obsession with immutable distro?

I guess the promise of having updates JustWork™? I don’t currently use one but I see the appeal.

However FWIW, unlike its namesake ChromeOS, the “Nixbook OS” this post is about is not actually an immutable distro: the instructions are to install NixOS normally and then clone the nixbook repo into /etc/nixbook and run its install.sh. Among other things it installs an update service which runs git pull on that repo as well as running nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade and flatpak update --noninteractive --assumeyes etc.

Cheers to this guy for what he’s doing, but the name is a little confusing. This approach works but it is not nearly as robust as the immutable distro paradigm implied by the name.
