The Ubuntu images OVH ships (I assume they're the european provider) are bundled with an old, unpatched kernel and you need to install the one from the repos manually.

Other than being unpatched/possibly insecure, it has a few features disabled: the last time I managed an OVH instance, it wasn't possible to run docker over their kernel.

Of course Canonical doesn't want that image to be called "Ubuntu", and as an user I don't want that either.
50.Qh6+, the Move That Won Magnus Carlsen the World Chess Championship
I fail to see the problem- either don't change the image in a meaningful way or recompile without the name ubuntu and call it something else.

Seems ok to me. Also, using the Ubuntu name for a product not made by canonical without permission is against trademark law, so the argument made seems moot.

A few restrictions does not automatically make something "not free". In fact copyleft "free software" has tons of restrictions.
More importantly, our understanding of parkinson's wasn't "Transformed", so much as, somebody ran a highly specific experiment on a substrain of mice that is not representative of humans, and tried to generalize their results.

Interesting, what do you think is the distinction? The greatest contributor to flourishing capitalism is strong consumerism. And the biggest driver of the consumerist mind is capitalist manipulation. They feed off of each other, and are so intertwined that it's hardly useful to refer to one without acknowledging that it comes with the other.

By me, yes, because I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Syracuse, NY has Verizon FiOS (100/100 Mbps @ ~$75/mo) in many parts of the city. And while 60%+ of the area is ghetto, rents in nicer parts are relatively cheap (~600/mo). Long winters with lots of snow, & the city's always prepared to get pounded, so stuff rarely closes from it. There's a city-wide bus service that goes into the suburbs regularly, & to surrounding towns outside the metro area a few times/day. So you don't really need a car, which saves lots of money. No Uber yet, though. New York City's <5 hour drive, or there's Amtrak train service to Penn Station.
if i remember correctly the DLL was responsible for the library to not be portable. It might be that i don't remember this correctly, but some crucial part was not available so i could not use it.
Yes. These companies have teams of people spewing out a list of values for PR, and thinking that they have Jedi mind trick powers over the employees (on some people it actually works!). It's the company image, not how the company operates.
There are several things to unpack here, but I'm going to stick to one.

The primary difference, in practice, between something like Gay Pride and something like "Straight Pride", would be the power dynamic between the two.

Historically, and even to some extent currently, the people with more power have been those who would be in the latter parade.

"Punching up" is what it's called when you are challenging a group more powerful than you - "punching down" is more commonly referred to as "bullying".
Careful what you wish for - look what happened to Desmoulins, Danton, Robespierre etc.

But when I pay for a movie ticket or rent in on NetFlix/Apple TV/whatever, I am expecting it to be fiction, and I am mentally prepared to lose myself in the experience. Same with books, theme parks, plays etc.

However, when I follow people on social media, I am expecting something that is a little more 1 to 1, and a lot more real. I am interested in programming, guitars, aviation etc. and follow people with the same passions.

If I have to do extra detective whenever someone posted a picture of some guitar gear, in order to find out whether they posted it because they were really inspired by it, or whether they were paid by a manufacturer to do it, then it really renders the interaction meaningless, and I would rather do without it.

I'll never pay to go see a live music performance if I know the players are just miming to backing tracks. I go to experience the actual process, pain and joy of someone working hard to create music. The odd mistake and off key note all ADD to the performance for me, not detract. It reminds me that we are all not perfect, but we still try to reach out to each other to connect.

If we are all just living in a plastic world now, where we have to question every interaction to ascertain whether it is real or not, then I am not sure I want to participate in that world anymore.
I don't think bombers and ships reach firing positions quicker than a missile flies. Maybe the answer is submarines, they can remain undetected and are able to launch their missiles close to the enemy territory.
In Australia, the Fringe Benefits Tax is similarly capable of sucking the frills and perks out of any situation.

I've worked in offices where we paid for coffee by an honour system.

A local council, which makes some revenue through parking metres, was required to put parking metres on its own carpark and charge its own employees, because it was Council land and this would make it a fringe benefit. There wasn't much sympathy, but still.
That person from OVH is a character.

You can install an "Ubuntu" on OVH, but the kernel is a modified kernel. When you try to install standard services that are meant to work with Ubuntu, they do not work with the "OVH Ubuntu".

Apparently, Ubuntu contacted OVH to make the Ubuntu kernel closer to the stock Ubuntu kernel but OVH did not bother to do anything about it.

Then, Ubuntu told them that they break the trademark and one of the things they can do is get a license for the existing messy "OHV handicapped ubuntu", so that they keep providing this mess.

At that point, the founder of OVH went on twitter and a shitstorm ensued.

The whole affair reflects badly on the OVH founder. But many people will keep another impression in their mind.

From a discussion of 1984:

"beginning with the historical observation that societies always have hierarchically divided themselves into social classes and castes: the High (who rule); the Middle (who work for, and yearn to supplant the High), and the Low (whose goal is quotidian survival). Cyclically, the Middle deposed the High, by enlisting the Low. Upon assuming power, however, the Middle (the new High class) recast the Low into their usual servitude. In the event, the classes perpetually repeat the cycle, when the Middle class speaks to the Low class of "justice" and of "human brotherhood" in aid of becoming the High class rulers."

In Java, if you have something like

void foo(Integer i)
{

// Putz with reflection, change value stored in i to something else

}

main()
{

foo(150); // Nothing special, you just created an autoboxed integer and then alter its value

foo(4); // Java pulls you an Integer from the autoboxing cache, and you do indeed accidentally alter the value of 4.

}
I'd say probably a large part of the reason PHP devs opt to use different languages in new projects (when given the choice) is because of FUD spread about PHP. Everyone wants stability in their career. If the voices on the interweb are loud enough saying PHP is dead / dying, it kind of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I would hazard a guess that if PHP was not so hated (like the one kid on the playground that everyone decides to mock because everyone else is, and because it keeps attention off of them) devs who are familiar with and articulate in PHP would not hesitate to start new projects with it.

Anyways, my personal perspective is server-side is becoming a smaller and smaller piece of the web. Any reasonably designed language should be sufficient. Unless maybe if you're Google or Microsoft, or deal heavily with extremely large datasets such as BigData / Analytics / Machine Learning companies. And even then worst case scenario you just throw all the data into AWS RedShift or something like that.

If you're writing an OS, building a Linux driver or writing a memory management library I'd certainly recommend avoiding PHP :)

BTW, I've run side projects where PHP (before 7.*) sufficiently handled databases with 100's of tables containing billions (yes, that's a 'B') of rows each on a single $250 laptop. That includes jobs running relatively heavy analytics jobs on those tables. My guess is if the company was spending money to get appropriate talent to handle their infrastructure they might be able to make PHP work well for them without a lot of trouble. And by that I don't necessarily mean they have untalented people. I'm saying if they're truly "fluent" in PHP, or are willing to put in the effort to learn PHP, it shouldn't be hard to do.

You're not being fair to him. He asked Canonical for clarification multiple times, and they refuse to clarify what their IP policy actually entails. He's given them years to do so, and they haven't. That's not "needs ASAP an official reply".
And I always behaved as an irrational market actor, because hey we exist in the real world too. I know in some of my finances I don't behave as a model would predict, for instance investing in companies that are doing something that is ethically interesting to me, despite the financials.

Implicit nulls are the so-called "billion dollar" mistake in Java that has been worked around and tried to be fixed in almost every other JVM language. That the PHP folks did not repeat the same mistake might suggest that they, after all, are not the worst language designers (anymore?).
Updated my comment to reflect that, thanks.

A good example of the distinction is the raw audio of a domestic phone call in the US. First it's intercepted in bulk, then automatically sent to DSP hardware for transcription into a searchable text log.

That wouldn't qualify as "collection" as the NSA defines it until a human analyst actually listened to or laid eyes upon the data.

Automated analysis programs looking for keywords or specific patterns of behavior within the data probably require legal authorization as well. However, it's unclear if the legal authorizations such programs operate under are broad in nature, or issued individually in a more explicit manner.
Interesting, For many years I was all in on MRI and down on JRuby but over recent years I've been quite happy with JRuby for certain things.

The reality of JRuby startup times make it not a good fit for scripting tasks but otherwise server and threaded tasks are a great fit. Since using JRuby more recently I feel the ecosystem support is probably the best of the non-MRIs. I rarely run into compatibility issues. Conversely JRuby's Java integration has been a very useful feature that no other Ruby implementation offers.
That post was written by Matthew Garrett, and he has written many similar posts against Ubuntu over the years.

You are getting downvoted because people feel like it's not adding to the conversation, however, I disagree.

I also use toothpaste, and other products,that my wife chose and came to the realization that even though I might not be directly marketed to, I am still reached by a so-called influencer, who has way more power then some random instagram person or ad.

I wouldn't be surprised to find more Marketing dollars are spent on advertising to women (probably, no proof, just an assumption). Since if they can target the person who purchases for the family, the company adds multiple consumers, regardless if they realize it or not.

To me, that's an interesting introspective and your comment did contribute.

Thanks.
Adding to this, dementia might be a "side" effect of the medication for the muscles' rigidity. It's hard to explain but eventually there comes a time when you need to opt between not being able to move or take the medication and start having more and more frequent surreal visions.

My grandfather survived a few cancer appearances but during the last surgery to remove some cancer lumps he woke up as a completely new person. It seems the anesthesia triggered the first signs of Parkinson's and dementia exactly at the same time. He was pretty "normal" before the surgery but after it he couldn't walk and thought the hospital staff attacked him with dogs during the night. Fortunately (?) he didn't last long after that day but still had time to be kicked off from his home by my grandmother who couldn't handle the dementia.

Sorry for the rant, I'm obviously not over it, will never be. Dementia is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

Even more important, let's stop seeing bash.

If somebody had set out to create a language prone to error and exploitation, bash would result. (It's fine for interactive use BTW, just not as a language in which to write anything complex or long-lived.) While it might not have C's pointer/memory problems, its lack of real types or scope rules and its other idiosyncrasies (e.g. making it nearly impossible to distinguish "" from an undefined variable or the whole $*/$@ mess) make it even more of a nightmare. I've actually gotten pretty handy with it because I had to, but it's a far worse crime against developer sanity than C ever was.
