Mostly useful idiots. Many HN posters are tech people from US. They are mainly left leaning all the way into tankie territory. And those are a prime target for russians.
The administration is dispensing with the institutions of soft power. I don't think it's the main goal so much as a consequence of their worldview. Soft power is essentially worthless to people who have no interest in maintaining a facade of international cooperation.
Yeah, but right now, I just have that set for Desktop Mode. Hoping a browser will have its own setting, so I don't have to add a PIN for regular usage.
I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding here.
A multiuser system is a system where multiple users are logged in at the same time and ussing the computer.
So a multi-user desktop Linux would be a computer where multiple people are logged in each with their own desktop session on the same machine.
That was the way unix was first used, a big computer somewhere with multiple client terminals connected to it all doing their own thing. This is the environment x11 came about as well.
Nowadays even if the computer is shared by multiple people each with their own account only one of them is using it at a time.
No. gyulai complained of graphical login managers and advised to set up automatic login. Multiple users sharing a computer with their own accounts would use the login manager for account selection.
Putting Linux on dumpster-find computers is a hobby for some rich Americans. They'd be happy to hand those out to the poor and needy who, however, wouldn't be caught dead with one of those. Because, sporting the latest iPhone at all times is part of the reason they're poor. -- The world is a complicated place, man.
...let me rephrase that. I frequently am quite surprised by how poor some people are who still manage to sport the latest iPhone at all times. Conversely, a small amount of money or even no money at all and a dumpster find will get you surprisingly far, when it comes to having your basic computational needs met. The world is more complicated than a bunch of stereotypes. "Someone who thinks of sharing of computers as rare, must be rich and conceited" is not a good model of the world. "Someone who is poor must be spending too much money on iPhones" is not a good model of the world either. (One reading of what I wrote would be this, but it's not what I meant to imply).
