Yes. I think Aaron would want to take his name off from there.

And yet only one of them gets flogged in the media
I have hard time believing the stats in the picture.
So around 3.5% of all the hybrids eventually die in fire? Really? That number seems like it's way too high.
I know EVs are safer in this regard, but I just can't believe hybrids and gasoline cars being that bad. Do we have a source for this information?
P.S. The photos seem to be AI generated FWIW...

Mr. True goes grocery shopping [Outbursts of Everett True, 1926]
Ok.
I'm lost now. Somebody, please, explain.
Does he value the honesty of the shopkeeper that much, that he then, instead of going to the competitors store, buys whole lot of the "wrong type" of peaches from the honest seller?

Should I switch to Wayland?
My short answer:
Should I switch to Wayland?
Applications that don't cope with wayland still work via Xwayland. Go ahead.

PineTab-V tablet with a RISC-V chip gets community-supported software builds (including KDE Plasma desktop)
Whoa! So RISC-V is already that far? We can have tablets? Nice.
I'm almost in "shut up and take my money" -mode already.

I wonder what new does this bring into the table?
I mean we already have at least these in addition to systemd:
The state being stored in RAM seems like a nifty feature. I like it.
Very quickly glanced... I think it lacks service supervision and user services. Although user services are missing in many others too. Except it looks like users can run Nitro by themselves (autostart via cron @boot maybe?). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, more choices leads to more ideas being implemented. 👍

Chimera Linux
Alpine is also GNU-free afaik.
EDIT: Except for the GCC toolchain.

when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?
Rolling with Gentoo here. Reinstall is not performed even when complete hardware upgrade has been done.

I successfully installed Gentoo for the first time today!
My first Gentoo install took like a week to get X running. It was my first foray into Linux (Ok, I briefly tried mkLinux).
I learnt the hard way, but I learnt. And I'm still on that same path: Gentoo. Why I don't bother switching? Because I can customize Gentoo to whatever I like, so instead of doing distro hop I just reconfigure things.

Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end | Alyssa Rosenzweig stepping away from Asahi Linux
I've been driving Gentoo on M2 Air now for some time. Maybe a year. I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for Asahi folks.
"Can't run Linux? I'll pass."
I hope I get to use usb-c display mode in the future.

Root access vulnerability in glibc library impacts many Linux distros
Yikes.
I'd switch to musl on all of my boxes if it weren't that nearly all precompiled software (closed source, games mainly) are compiled against glibc.

472.41 kph: BYD sets new EV speed record with Yangwang U9 - electrive.com
Off-topic: why to write kph when the most logical way would be to write kmh, km/h or kmph? kph translates to 'kilo per hour". km/h would be the mathematically correct.

Because systemd replaced too many important components users still wanted to keep using... and politics. Not many people like Lennart (the guy who started the project). Politics ruin everything.
For me the breaking point was systemd-journald. Corrupted journal when you desperatedly needed to know what went wrong was too much. Last time I gave systemd a try was several years ago... Something like 5 to 7 years, so things might have changed a lot.
Also I'm in the minority here. I like to custom my system components too. systemd just doesn't fit there. Also I administrate one lightweight, low power box, which uses musl libc. Last time I checked systemd needed glibc.
Enough ramblings. Here's some reading for you... note that there's most probably very biased technical writings here and there, so use common sense and verify the claims if you want the real truth. Then judge yourself, don't let anyone else judge for you.
