  • My experience with Linux is something like 4 years of Ubuntu then 8 years of Arch. What kept me in was stability (in the sense that I don’t need to clean install every 6 months) and the wiki which allowed me to learn, a lot.

    Although what I sometime don’t enjoy, is the random maintenance burden : every now and then some package you rely on may change how it works (config format, cli interface). You can fix this later by keeping an outdated version but it will eventually need a bit of work. That’s something I don’t mind on my work computer, but on my personal one … I just don’t want more work coming at me when I get home and want to play games.







  • From the link :

    Algorithmic systems, which will typically involve the processing of data to produce outputs and/or make decisions, are playing an increasingly important role within many organisations and across a broad range of sectors. Importantly, these systems are designed, developed, deployed, used, and overseen by people, and can have far reaching implications.

    I think this definition doesn’t really answer your question, but I assume we talk about companies that make automated strategical decisions ?


  • Same after Windows 8.1 ! 🥳

    I’ve had to use Windows 11 a tiny bit for work and it was the most painful experience I had for a while. Most apps I used on there had obvious bugs, like the VPN chosen by my company requiring me to reboot every time it goes to sleep …








  • You mean you never received any major package update on arch ? 😛

    More seriously, it depends on what we are talking about, if everything runs in container I agree that it kinda doesn’t matter, you will just have a more up to date kernel, but it is stable enough.

    Other peoples on this thread are talking about actual system dependancies, for example installing a postgres server from official repo. On this example it would require a database migration as soon as a major postgres version is released, which means some downtime and non-scheduled maintainance.




  • Sans lire l’article et avec seulement les infos du post : 30% de 70M / 125 = 168k. Ça voudrait dire que dans leur vie personnelle ces 125 milliardaires polluent au moins autant que 168 000 français moyens.

    Une voiture de luxe a l’air d’emettre 40 tonnes d’équivalent carbonne maximum à la production, soit environ autant que 5 français moyens sur un an. On en arrive à acheter 34 000 voitures de luxe par jour. Ça me paraît pas réaliste du tout.

    En jetant un œil à l’article je voit que tu as tiré ça du chiffre “50 à 70% des émissions viennent des investissements”. Je pense qu’en fait le gros des autres parts viendraient du fonctionnement de leur capitale existant ?
