What happened to my computers being reliable, predictable, idempotent ? :'(

Ubuntu is a fork of unstable Debian packages

And where do you think debian stable packages come from exactly ?...

it's basicaly the exact same thing. In both case :

  • At some point freeze unstable (snapshot unstable in case of ubuntu),
  • fix bugs found in the frozen set of packages,
  • release as stable.

  • apt something that ended up removing sudo. No more admin rights.
  • used rsync to backup pretty much everything in / , with remove source option...
  • find with -delete option miss positioned. It deleted stuff before finding matching pattern
  • chown / chmod on /bin and/or /usr/bin
  • Removed everything in /etc

Also I've read that C# is C++++ (like put those + on 2x2 table, which in turns ressemble a #)

Un lave linge, une machine à laver le linge, un lave vaisselle, une machine à laver la vaisselle. It actually all depend on they way you phrase it. Agreed though. It was mostly for the joke.

It's a she, because that's a woman job. Same goes for dish washer !

Also, there are a few words that even french (most of them) would have the gender wrong...

I guess pilot is some kind of a special thing. They really need to speak english and require some minimal level. They will learn the basic they need for the job. Also, they get constant exposure to English, which help maintain and improve it.

IT people, that's a different story. I know "many" that don't speak english or have such basic knowledge that they understand something different than what is actually said or written. Many job in IT will not require english, mostly a bonus. Take microsoft docs for instance, their website auto-translate to french. And even when needed, read/written is often enough. It's also easier because we mostly learn to read & write english in schools and both language have common/similar words. Tools like google translate are also a blessing. Those 2 categories are in the upper class and I don't really think they represent even 5% of the french people :)

The real pain point is the accent. Because we mostly learn through text (reading/writing), many will fail to identify the word pronounced because it doesn't match how a french would read/pronounce it out loud despite knowing the word. Same goes the other way, there were a few times when someone had a hard time understanding me because I failed to pronounce a word properly : brother vs browser. Any french would read out loud those two the exact same way.

And about your point on social media I cannot say. I grew up at a time when they didn't existed, and I don't have youngsters around me to see their exposure to english and how they deal with it.

Have you ever eard of "fecal microbiota transplant" ? Because that's basically eating shit.

No rational person would accept $100 to eat feces.

Well, actually, big pharma will make you pay for it, which is even better :)

Except that games are broken at release and need day1 patch in order to work. Although you will ship BD, the day update servers are taken down, your physical copy won't allow you to play the game either.

The only question I have is : Is torrenting game patchs / updates concidered piracy as well ? If it is, we are definitely doomed.

if you do not provide a root password during install, the default user is in sudoer.
