To be fair, using Linux is (usually) much more of an active decision.

I thought there was an emacs command?
You just need to read physical media like stored somewhere you have physical control over, without DRM, and there hardly remains any disagreement.
Force of habit? Plus, if I used Windows, I wouldn’t use Edge out of spite. Fuck their shady ways of pushing users to use it.
What OP said. But here’s a more detailed answer courtesy of GPT-4:
Adding cat /dev/random > /dev/pty23
to your .profile
would result in an interesting situation whenever you start a login shell.
Behavior of the Command: The command cat /dev/random
continuously reads random data from the /dev/random
device file, which generates an endless stream of random bytes. Redirecting this to /dev/pty23
means it attempts to write this data to the pseudo-terminal device /dev/pty23
.
Impact on Shell Startup: When you add this to your .profile
, every time you start a login shell (like when you open a new terminal session), it will execute this command. Since /dev/random
produces an endless stream of data, the cat
command will not terminate on its own. This means your shell will be stuck executing this command, and you won’t get a prompt to enter new commands.
Interactive Shell Issue: The shell remains technically interactive, but because the cat
command doesn’t complete, you won’t get a chance to interact with it. The shell is effectively blocked by the cat
command continuously running.
Potential Problems: There’s a possibility that /dev/pty23
might not exist on your system, or you might not have the permission to write to it. In such cases, the command would fail, but it would still block the shell if it doesn’t exit properly.
Fixing the Issue: To regain control of your shell, you might need to edit your .profile
from a different context where it doesn’t get executed, like using a non-login shell or booting into a recovery mode.
In summary, it’s a kind of a “prank” command that can render your login shell unusable until you remove it from your .profile
. It’s an example of how powerful shell startup scripts can be, and also a reminder to be cautious about what gets added to them!
root folders as in /bin /etc.?
This exists. For example, for general decentralized storage, there’s storj.io, and there’s PeerTube. But I guess there’s a reason it’s not more widespread. I’d happily be proven wrong, though.
I’m not sure if we manage to do the same for video though; hosting these costs a lot more.
Star Trek also has this.
Good question. Maybe GitLens can help with that, if not the official GitHub extensions.
VSCode has had that feature for some months now. Maybe it’s still hidden behind an off-by-default setting, but it’s there and I use it.
Is there any precedent to ads in Apple products (apart from their store)? Although they’ll surely find other ways to annoy non-Apple users, I don’t think ads are “in style” for them.
Agreed, though I wondered if bad actors actually bothered, given the less restrictive competition. Probably because PH is so large?
Was this after PH removed all content from non-verified accounts? If so, one might wonder how much it actually helped.
You might be able to grab them from takeout.google.com
But… that didn’t and doesn’t apply to YouTube Music, only to YouTube, right?
Do remember that the same Baerbock said that we (Germany/…) are at war with Russia.
Speaking of Circles, remember Google+ Circles?
