The title is wrong. It’s not about proving that the owner is dead (which is easy, you get a death certificate when a relative dies).

It’s about proving that the person requesting access of the dead person account is actually the person legally receiving the dead person’s possessions (or GOG account specifically).

The hardware in an arcade cabinet is either a raspberry pi or a regular desktop PC.

Nothing in particular, for the past few years I didn’t like the direction Ubuntu was taking but I stayed because I was too lazy to switch and it didn’t feel that bad.

So I’m not sure exactly what was the last straw, maybe part of it was me getting a Steam Deck, discovering flatpak and understanding how bad snap was compared to it.

It just works, just like Ubuntu before they started pushing snap down everyone’s throat (which is what made me switch eventually.)

I had a bad image of RedHat/Fedora’s package management from the time deb was much superior, but no they caught up and are on the same level (I know, it’s probably been a while).

I also like how they mostly package upstream without too many changes. When Ubuntu started upstream was a bit lacking so making changes was necessary to get something that looks like a consistent OS rather than a patchwork of packages, but now it’s no longer needed. Ubuntu is no longer the only distribution with that level of polish.

• In the 90’s: Slackware, then RedHat, then Debian, then Progeny (Debian based), then shortly Mandrake (RedHat based)

• Early 2000’s: RedHat Japanese edition, TurboLinux (because I was in Japan and Japanese IME was almost impossible to get working on non-Japanese distributions)

• Then I had fun with Gentoo looking at my terminal compiling stuff everyday and fixing broken package because I followed advices to activate crazy compilation flags

• 2004: Ubuntu, that I used for nearly 20 years

• Last year: switched to Fedora

There is xreal, nreal, rokid… Plenty of manufacturers to pick with, and you can spare money for a regular laptop.

It’s a bad idea because you can get a regular laptop and AR glasses just as light as those. Check nreal, rokid…

This way you can use the laptop as a regular laptop and the glasses with other devices.

You can deploy open source software or your own apps even on big tech infrastructure, on your own domain.

The problem isn’t infrastructure, it’s that access to content isn’t decentralized any more. Access to content is reliant on Google search or social media algorithms (who decide what to promote).

For a desktop yes. You can dock it and forget that it’s not a regular Linux desktop. Especially if it means Python and JS, you don’t need much power for that.

For a laptop not so much, because you’ll need to bring screen+keyboard+mouse and everything to plug them so the portability aspect seriously suffers.

Because the algorithm trying to identify shoplifters is probably trained on biased dataset

If she’s been flagged as shoplifter she’s probably black!

In France there is a limit, about 30k every 15 years. It’s not messed up, it’s necessary if we want inheritance taxes to have any weight.

You don’t inherit debt but they’re paid on the estate before inheritance.

So you can’t get just debt as inheritance, but debt are only lost for the creditor if the person who died had a negative net worth.

I’m not sure what “the Linux community” really means but I would bet that pure open source Android based on AOSP are more popular than the non-Android Linux mobile OS combined.

It’s still a lot of work, for what value compared to an OS based on AOSP?

Maybe, whatever. It’s just too annoying for me to click on that shit.

I just don’t like Linus because he’s annoying and abuses clickbait thumbnails and titles.

Some of their videos (from other people than himself) are good, but usually I’ll avoid LTT content all together.

For that reason I’m not really sure what happened, and I don’t really care.

Selling a new one

10 years ago it was “how do we convince Google to buy this company?”

And it was overpriced. I can see people buying a useless toy for 50 bucks, but not for $700.
