You really ought to watch the Black Mirror episode Plaything. It’s about digital pets with a neural network interacting with a human played by Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) and the outcomes that might result from this.
Thomas Jefferson: "Let us save what remains: not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use in consigning them to the waste of time, but by such a multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident."
Wayland never was. GNOME was at one point but isn’t any longer.
> Have you checked out Chimera Linux? Should I refer to that system as “the Linux kernel” or “GNU/Linux”? Neither makes sense.
Neither, but it would be both accurate and more specific to say that it is a Linux-based OS with BSD’s userland.

It’s now “desperate” to ask to receive credit for software you wrote? GNU wrote coreutils and gcc and early GNOME and those are part of pretty much any early GNU/Linux system and you think giving GNU credit for the work they put into building an OS is ‘desperate’?? No offense but screw that.
> It is a bit like the 70’s BSD guys says AT&T needed to call their software BSD/UNIX because so many people used BSD stuff on their systems.
But the BSD guys never said that..that I can tell. Unless you can provide specific examples, I can only assume this is a straw man and ignore it.
The main advantage of sixel is probably the fact that it’s directly backward compatible with old DEC hardware, which I happen to like to use. I could have, say, a pdf reader that renders the pdf to the screen of an actual hardware VT330 by using sixels.
I see no mention anywhere of yaft. Not an in-kernel framebuffer console, but one worth knowing about nonetheless, because it offers features like sixel support which probably won’t be landing in kernel any time soon.
[Also the title is ambiguous. While technically correct by referring to the kernel as Linux, I thought it originally meant GNU/Linux (the OS) because it didn’t say (e.g.) “consoles in the Linux kernel” or “consoles in GNU/Linux”]
This is funny in that despite it being hosted on textfiles.com it is an audio file... attempting to convince people to switch from binary formats to text formats.
2. Yes
3. I got stuck and couldn't get past RILGUN -- it'd be nice to know what the word you were going for actually was.
