monopolisation of the init system

That's the one thing about systemd that is sort of nice. We don't really need to have more than one init system, and it does a sufficiently comprehensive job of being one. If it were only an init system and nothing else, there basically wouldn't be any remaining complaints about it by now.

She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain

Look, I know everyone in Britain is required to know the names and dates of all the monarchs going back to the 9th century, but expecting everyone to be able to come up with that name when put on the spot is going a little too far.

vastly expands the pool of potential victims

I'm not brave enough at the moment to say it isn't some kind of crime, but creating such images (as opposed to spamming them everywhere, using them for blackmail, or whatever) doesn't seem to be a crime that involves any victims.

Not sure if it's from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that's like "Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter."

It may depend on how highly you value your software freedom and the benefits that come with it. Even if the performance per dollar for GPU tasks on blender was 25% worse, personally I would still go for the one with the free driver.

It sounds like pretty close to the same thing except for the "if you intend to monetize it" part which is a very big difference. But I don't think Twitch or Youtube or the other platforms where significant money can be made have any support for anonymous payment methods, so that situation is not so different in Germany compared to the rest of the world (outside of China and places like that.)

Well, that marks the first time I've seen anyone refer to it as "the apt store." Thanks, I hate it.

13% may not sound like a lot, but it includes almost all of the 10% who weren't complete idiots.
