  • I was thinking that exact thing lol. I’m like, yes ‘distributions’ are distributing new softwares with the new kernel.

    And the improvement in desktop environments does feel like a good improvement considering the user is interacting most with it.

    Or maybe I’m just apathetic to these things because most things I care about my distribution are that it provides me a good package manager for external and self made programs. And everything else is just programs installed through said package manager.








  • Those topics seems a little advanced for a Linux user without cyber security knowledge though. I personally don’t understand any of them lol. I know what hardening is, what CVEs are; but except for few anecdotes like the logj4, xz, etc, I don’t think I’d know enough to talk about the cyber security side of linux.

    I was thinking more along the side of daily life things. Like how programmer like linux because it’s easier to develop things and manage environments and cross program compatibility.





  • It’s not fun when you have to explain it. But basically it is based on the infinite multiverse theory. Since the multiverse splits whenever you make choices, in this case the program would spawn a large number of multiverses each with different combinations of those bits, which means at least one of them would have the exactly the combination we want. If the program destroys the multiverse it is in after it determines it is not correct, only reality that remains is the one with correct combination of bytes. Making it that we will get the code we want on the first try.
