Yes, exactly, which as we all know stands for GIF Image Format.

Best of all, they would not have to work for Bezos anymore.

(I tried staying a subscriber to support the genuinely good investigative journalism they do, but Bezos's changes to it were got to be too much for me to swallow; what finally drove me over was the incredibly congratulatory editorial that the editorial board posted in response to the kidnapping of Maduro from Venezuela.)

Right, so the answer to your question is that it is trolling the uutils devs because Ubuntu was the one that decided to make the switch.

Whence the skepticism?

What did you think it stood for?

I actually think that this thread is extremely useful for demonstrating that the downside of obtaining immortality by uploading your consciousness is that you risk handing your digital soul into the hands of a wrathful and malicious deity for all eternity.

(Though honestly, I think that uploading is overrated anyway given that I will still be dead, so how does the continued existence of a copy of me help anything?)

It is true that I personally do not find most of her recent political comics to be particularly funny or insightful--which is fine, she does not have to draw to satisfy me--but there are plenty of her comics which are not about politics but about cats or silly reflections on life, especially before Trump got elected.

So in short, thank you very much for your comment because it totally inspired me to check this person out and find comics of theirs that I enjoyed! 😀

Interesting! I had not even realized that this was a problem, though it makes sense now after your description. How realistically feasible is this type of approach, though, given that the manufactures can always just ignore the kernel's request to reprogram them and continue to access the bus and memory directly?

Yeah, there is nothing more annoying in general when starting to type text into a co-workers desktop than having random letters show up rather than having the cursor move around.
