Ah, FreeBSD always felt a little more smooth in subtle ways on Intel hardware. Hopefully that will change now.


There is an excellent Goth festival in Germany, I'm visiting every year since about 2012. https://www.wave-gotik-treffen.de/english/


Ah I didn't expect to see Wave Gotik Treffen mentioned on HN, I only went one year but keep a very fond memory of it :)


I went once and it was very fun. It's about time I tried to arrange a group to go again.


I'm always open to meeting new people with different backgrounds, so if you do go we could get a beer together or something :)


10/10, but I find the explanations to be somewhat lacking. "Not real hieroglyphics". Yeah, of course, should have paid better attention in my classes on old Egyptian writing I guess? I feel a proper spotting technique should be generic, not specific to the subject matter at hand which you might or might not know.


I got the egyptian one right (all of them actually) and I was very confident of it despite not really knowing anything about heiroglyphics. The technique was simply, which one is more stereotyped? The AI one just has the classic figures and "heiroglyphs" and that's it. The real one has tons of detail - odd plants, a banquet, stacked pots, a king with a face that has personality. I look at it and am drawn into wanting explanations for the things in it. It's clearly the work on someone trying to tell a story, rather than trying to "look egyptian". The same basic idea worked for basically all the others - which photo has more odd, incidental, imperfect detail? The AI ones are "generic" in the same way ChatGPT prose is.


For example, in the Egyptian example, I thought the outlines of peoples feet and legs to be too precise and devoid of the little imperfections of human drawings.


Assuming that other operating system, whether high-reliability or not, are necessarily "cryptic" and unnecessarily impair people in their ability to "get shit done" is naive at best and disingenuous at worst.


Isn't `src`, as in `src/packagename/__init__.py`, a thing any more?


It is. That is more common than the author's suggestion.


Excellent song, came here to post it.


While I am a German and started out with SuSE many years ago, I then left for Gentoo and Fedora / CentOS / RockyLinux and didn't look back for more than 15 years. Recently I gave Tumbleweed a shot and was surprised how good it was. I have since started switching some of my machines over and have been recommending it to friends.


I'm actually in the process of writing a small Bhyve CLI management tool in Python. Could hit GitHub maybe this or next week. Very minimalistic and beta-quality at best, but still.


My first Linux was SuSe 9.2. I had not touched any SuSe product until I tried Tumbleweed recently and was surprised how good it actually is, easily one of the best installers if you want some flexibility but don't want to spend too much time customizing, it just did what I wanted with a few simple clicks. Plus the package manager zypper is amazingly fast!


The example screenshots feature a terminal with a "foo@kremvax" prompt, nice touch :D
