Your priorities are all out of whack. Give me a private Unix system that's pretty unusable any day of the week.

As a Debian user for three years, and Linux for 5 years, I find it hilarious that I know more about Windows than my friends who actually use Windows as their main OS.
At this point, I feel like their go-to tech support, except I’m the only one who gets confused when I see a Windows license key that actually works!
#Debian

… or “liquid glass” gimmickry, for that matter.
But unlike what most replies suggest, this isn’t #CDE, this is HP-VUE, the ancestor of CDE.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) brings Unix-style loose coupling to AI Agents.
I built a visual explainer (JSON-LD metadata included) using Google Gemini’s new Canvas feature—with an embedded Knowledge Graph to illustrate.

If you only have a Unix, everything looks like a file.

I've just found out that the nano text editor can sort lines by pressing Ctrl-T (execute any command on marked lines) and then entering "| sort" (like in a shell pipe).

Critical Sudo Vulnerabilities Let Local Users Gain Root Access on Linux, Impacting Major Distros
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed two security flaws in the Sudo command-line utility for Linux and Unix-like operating systems that could enable local attackers to escalate their privileges to root on susceptible machines.

Benchmarks for protocol control in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
We present a set of computer codes designed to test methods for optimizing time-dependent control protocols in fluctuating nonequilibrium systems. Each problem consists of a stochastic model, an optimization objective, and C++ and Python implementations that can be run on Unix-like systems. These benchmark systems are simple enough to run on a laptop, but challenging enough to test the capabilities of modern optimization methods. This release includes five problems and a worked example. The pro…
