Strange but interesting, thank you!😊

Sounds like you want savapage https://www.savapage.org/

It by default runs on its own port but that is easy fixable with a reverse proxy.

Is it then also the “state of being poisoned-ring”?

The structure is changing, many distributions already are merging more and more of the duplicated subdirectories in /usr/ with the counterparts in / but it takes time to complete that and at the moment those subdirectories are often still there but as symlinks to be compatible with older software (and sysadmins).

Yes, that is true. I was speaking in the context of very early Unix/Linux before initrd was a thing.

In german it is “Ehe-Ring” which literally translates to marriage ring

And I still don’t know what’s the point in separating /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

This goes back to the olden days when disk space was measured in kilo and megabytes. /sbin/ and /usr/sbin have the files needed to start a bare bone Unix/Linux system, so that you could boot from a 800kb floppy and mount all other directories via network or other storage devices as needed.

It gets even more complicated nowadays because most DE will mount removable drives somewhere in folders like /run/$USER/

Mostly historical reasons, /home was often a network mounted directory, but /root must be local.

And only regular users have their home in /home

It should be part of Lutris since 5.17 Not sure if or how it works with flatpack though, should you use that.

As far as I understood this is due to preferring ULWGL for proton/wine in lutris now.

Well then the answer will most likely be: because they can and want to do it.

Maybe because that person uses systemd everywhere else and just doesn’t want the overhead of maintaining two different init systems.

There is no indication that anyone will be pruning systemd from distros in the near or far future. Systemd is here to stay and if anything it will only spread into more and more places as can be seen with projects like this.

Oh many years ago in school I created something like that for an arts/creative writing project once, a calendar with 12, 30 day month based on sailor moon. Having it based on a magical girl manga gave me the freedom to declare the rest of the days to “days of evil” Was a fun project because I created a whole religion around it. 😁

That is a very PC centric view on modding, not everybody plays on PC. The official mod platforms are the only possible way to play mods on (not jail broken) consoles.

Because on consoles that is the only possible way to install and use mods.

That sounds interesting, would most likely not be very popular with lots of people and a pain in the butt to implement but interesting.

I never moved the goalposts, all I always said was that a forced and clunky date format like YYYY-MM-DD will never find broad use or acceptance in the major population of the world. It is not made for easy day to day use.

If it sounded like I moved goalposts, that maybe due to english as a second language. Sorry for that.

But yes, I think we both have made our positions and statements clear, and there is not really a common ground for us. Not because one of us would be right or wrong but because we are not talking about the topic on the same level of abstraction. I talk about it from a social, very down to the ground perspective and you are at least 2 levels of abstraction above that. Nothing wrong with that but we just don’t see the same picture.

And yes using YYYY-MM-DD would be great, I don’t say anything against that on a general level, I just don’t ever see any chance for it used commonly.

So thank you for the great discussion and have a nice day.

Entire countries, like China, Japan, Korea, etc., use YYYY-MM-DD as their date standard already.

And every person in those countries uses YYYY-MM-DD always in their day to day communication? I really doubt that. I am sure even in those countries most people will still use short forms in different formats.
