But they already have a "Nothing OS": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Phone_1#Software

And they are calling that an "OS":

“If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack — drivers and how hardware connects to software and the kernel,” Pei added. “I don’t think we need to work on that, but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years.

Yeah, they speaking about another freaking skin...

The problem is not building a new operating system, but app support. We have and used to have a lot alternatives, but because mainstream apps are missing no one wants to use them. They don't have enough users, so developers won't develop for them, egg-chicken problem. Everyone tried to solve this by android compatibility layer, but android apps will always run better on android...

I use microG since years at this point, and while most things are working, I always find some quirks, and some random apps not behaving as they should. I'm fine with that, but a non-tech guy would freak out from that. And it's not even a completely different os, only an alternative implementation of GMS aka Play Services.

See previous and current examples, all of them was/is a good or at least usable as an os, but if you can't use your bank's app or whatever app you need in your daily life, you won't switch to it. Even M$ couldn't solve this problem, why Mr. Pei could solve it.

Edit: Obviously in the article they don't speak about an actual OS, but one more Android skin... So Mr. Pei is not planning to solve this, they are just redefining the meaning of words, Android skins are called "OS"s in entrepreneur speak nowadays.

I'm a happy user of input-remapper (AUR). I use it to replace PageUp/PageDown with Home/End keys on my Laptop. How does your tool compared to that?

Feedback: Can you add an example systemd service? Or it would be even better if the PKGBUILD would install it, I've seen a lot of software which adds a disabled service, so you just have to enable and start it.

In 2018 secret US military bases were found via Strava heatmap: https://www.wired.com/story/strava-heat-map-military-bases-fitness-trackers-privacy/

Posting here as there doesn’t seem to be an active Arch Linux community.

Your text says qemu-desktop is only "optional" for qemu-base. You can safely remove qemu-desktop, pacman won't nag about optional dependencies.

For checking dependencies, I like to use pactree, it draws nice graphs in the terminal: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Pactree

I was in highschool in the 2000s in Europe, and msn was our default way of communication with classmates.

Wiki says he is still there:

We could standadize measurements more than 100 of years ago with the metric system, we can also do this with time and date. ISO 8601 is the future old man.

About that map I didn't search too much for it, if you find a better map it could be a nice new post in this community.

It's incorrect. I have 2 AMD cards, I can detach it from linux before booting the guest. After I shut down the guest I have to log out in Gnome to make the card usable again, but no reboot required. It depends on how you set it up. I have a single 34" monitor with 2 inputs, connected to both cards.

I recommend to read about this topic, it would be quicker than waiting for people to answer, your questions were answered multiple times. I recommend the vfio wiki on the r*ddit a lot of good links are collected there: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index

Well, that's the ISO standard, so if you think otherwise, you are wrong :)

[D] is the weekday number, from 1 through 7, beginning with Monday and ending with Sunday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Week_dates

Actually some of the former British colonies and most of the Americas start the week on Sunday, Muslim World start on Saturday, Maldives on Friday, rest of the planet follows the standard.

Interesting concept, coming soon this november

 

The sea, which straddles the border between Israel and Jordan, has seen its surface area shrink by about 33 percent since the 1960s. A plan to replenish the Dead Sea with seawater from the Red Sea was proposed in 2009, but abandoned in 2021.

The Batagaika Crater, located in the Chersky Range of northeastern Siberia, Russia, is the largest permafrost crater in the world. One kilometer (0.6 miles) long, 100 meters (328 feet) deep, and growing, it has been sinking due to thawing permafrost since the 1960s. Batagaika’s rim is extremely unstable and the site of regular landslides, retreating by as much as 30 meters (98 feet) in a single year.

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakkersstraat_(Amsterdam)

Machine translation, I don't speak Dutch:

The bend of the tramway from the Bakkersstraat to the Amstel was too tight to be taken in a normal way. That is why the track first crossed the track on the Amstel and then to connect to that track via an extra arch. The arch was protected with chained posts. However, on 6 September 1950 it went wrong and a tram set of line 4 next from the Bakkersstraat could not brake in time, so the head of the motor car in the Amstel dived.
