Site is bugged, but after thinking about the title, I don't know how much I want to learn from a scammer.

Because the code of conduct is ONLY ever intended to be used as a sword, not as a shield.

Let the post stand on its own. I'm fucking sick and tired of people dragging unrelated politics into discussions.

Take a moment to reflect on what you have written and how the casual observer may interpret it.

On: Australia is introducing age checks for search engines like Google

[worthless-trash]

Which party is that ? Because I'm not seeing one.

[BLKNSLVR → worthless-trash]

Neither of the major two, that's for darn sure.

Some of the smaller ones have some tech savvy, but they're a long way off making any kind of a dent, and also seem to be going backwards in popularity.

But will be mandated now.

On: Red Hat Technical Writing Style Guide

[worthless-trash]

Most of the 'docs' are not behind the paywall, you're mixing up the KCS / FAQ's.

The docs are on https://docs.redhat.com/

[bauruine → worthless-trash]

I didn't mix it up but most of the time I stumble upon redhat.com it's KCS (access.redhat.com) articles. Yes it's not "documentation" but if it's worth to create an article because that many people have the same issue I'd say you could add it to your documentation as known issues.

I dont think that google is indexing that without a login/subscription though. TIL.

Having seen the results of both, I think i'll take the Australian current system.

I've not used ubuntu for some time, but

- Ubuntu based, so it has full compatibility with every .deb package that you find online

I don't think that .deb files are universally portable.

[kvdveer → worthless-trash]

They are not universally portable, but if your running an Ubuntu derived system, most debs can be installed jus fine. Thats not because deb is so compatible,but because virtually everything assumes Ubuntu.

[jeroenhd → worthless-trash]

You need the .deb files to match your architecture and to have the necessary dependencies available, but for programs like Google Chrome, Discord, and VSCode, those dependencies seem to come down to "any recent version of glibc and openssl" and the .debs themselves are available for multiple architectures.

You're not going to be installing random Debian packages from the Debian FTP server, but for most proprietary software that resorts to "install this .deb", it'll work most of the time, which beats many other distributions.

On the other hand, installing software this way is a great way for upgrades to the next major version to fail spectacularly halfway through, so I'm not so sure if it's a feature or not.
