That's the thing, you think that because they keep saying they like their country more than the others, a foreign leader who hates and want harms to their country would be their enemy.
The truth is (1) they get a boner for the authoritarian way Putin leads Russia and (2) Putin treats them well because he knows that strengthening those parties weaken the country they're in.
Also Putin hates EU, and they hate EU. The difference is that Putin hates EU because he knows that European countries are stronger together.
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).
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
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.
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 probably replacing garbage written by humans that nobody was reading either.
So in this case, garbage content that nobody reads, AI is probably a good idea.
