Idk how to explain, corpses in Fallout never despawn. That item you hid in the bush? it's still there 300h later. It has a certain persistence that isn't that common.

That's not necessarily a good thing world building wise, I'd certainly expect bodies to eventually get eaten / buried / rot for example.

Teenagers might have done 1 supermarket, this isn't a prank - it's an attack.

I mean setting the OOM killer not to crash your desktop is a good start (which is what ubuntu is doing), but beyond that there's not much you can do because there's no such thing as a safe process to kill.

IDK how early OOM killer isn't standard for desktop distros.

I'd wager it's because randomly killing processes can create data loss, that makes it a dangerous behavior to default to.

Seriously, the article doesn't say after 2 pages.

it's here, and yes it's gnome vs kde but the different distro muddies the comparison.

why comment?

Because the concept that there's a sweet spot where motorcycles are danger free is asinine, even if you, the driver make 0 mistakes (as if) you're much more vulnerable on a motorcycle to other people's mistakes.

Those that (can and do) continue become super aware of their surroundings and are mostly the safest drivers out there, and the death and accident rate goes way down.

That's a hella cope, just admit you like the danger and embrace it.

Getting an old package will work for a while, but sooner or later dependencies will start to break and then you'll be back to square 1. At that point you'll need to rebuild it, and when that fails you'll need to start adding patches... and this is just one package. there's an increasing amount of slop in linux, including the kernel itself, i'm afraid if you have a purist attitude you're gonna want to start looking at other projects like freebsd.

GNOME stopped supporting x11 this year, and prior to that the x11 session was in maintenance mode for years - wayland has been the default since 2017.

I'd rather not run software made by convicted child molesters

I get that sentiment, but what would you want to happen here, should he have just stayed in prison? Should he end up in a ditch somewhere? At some point reintegration into society needs to be happen, and i sure as hell think contributing to FOSS is a good deal better for everyone.

Plenty of people have been banned from GNOME, if you feel like he committed an infraction you're more than welcome to report the issue. But i doubt you'll find sympathy just clutching your pearls over his past crimes that have nothing to do with FOSS.

So he's still active, I guess your witch-hunt will continue then.

GNOME is not a single entity, it's hundreds of developers - it doesn't assign things to people. It looks like he's part of the releng team which gives him some responsibilities. The status quo will likely continue as he hasn't committed any infraction, though some people will refuse to work with him i guess.
