  • Is it? Binary is not a “analog” vs “digital” thing. “Binary” existed in analog computing for a couple of centuries at least before the concept of “digital“ even existed.

    It’s an abstract concept, not a specific application and while it can be specifically applied, there is no implication that it is either analog or digital. It could be either, both, or neither.










  • Yeah, 25 years ago. Where the fuck have you been? Cars were smart phones before smart phones were small enough to be smart phones.

    Cars had on board computers standard decades before the personal computer became a fixture in the American home. I mean, the Audi 5000 in 1985 was a pretty famous example. Mostly because of how hilariously the computer fucked up. I should know, my mother had one at the time. Every trip was a real “adventure”.

    Everything you’re smart phone does, your car could do 20 years ago. It just didn’t have such a look in her face, and it was a lot bigger than a device you could stick in your pocket.




  • Yeah, like I said, SUSE isn’t the distro I use, but it is frequently at the top of the list when considering what distrit to use when I create a new server or anything like that. Even for my own personal uses, it was like number #2 on my list.

    Thing is, as it happens with a lot of Linux, it all comes down to what you’re used to, what you’re comfortable with. And I am very used to and well trained in Debian-based distributions. Currently, I’m running Pop!_OS on a couple of servers.


  • I mean, I get that, but I’m not sure that is the source of your present issues. Like, it’s a thing that that’s worth consideration. We don’t get to just use products anymore. We have to consider where they come from and who makes them. And I’m pretty cool with SUSE and how the Germans do their Linux. It was the first distribution I used after red hat back in, like, 1997. I have a deep love for that distribution. I don’t use it because it doesn’t happen to be the correct distribution for my needs. But I often would like to. It’s it’s a nice distribution, very smooth and professional. OpenSUSE basically the “other” fedora.

    Thing: I fucking hate YAST with a goddamn passion. I FUCKING HATE IT. Why do I hate it? Because of everything I just hate it. I’m much prefer to use a APT, despite the fact that it’s incredibly antiquated.

    Maybe YAST has gotten better in the last 10 years or so since I’ve tried it, but my God was it terrible the last time I tried
