Yeah... Maybe expand it a bit and include mandatory therapy and a beer league softball club (they don't need to drink, but it is very okay to be terrible at the game).
Edit: My anonymity and brevity edits may have gone too far. This is not just about filesystem developers, but several kernel module developers I have interacted with.
Yeah, at they approach 9999 surely they will start using larger variables to store the year, and all of the 2000's code will have moved out of production (2000's and not 1970's because we may have fixed the 1970's code by now.)
Insurance companies in Des Moines, Iowa, USA tended to be heavy users of COBOL near the year 2000. If you want a job writing COBOL, I suggest looking there. I am sure at this point they will do some training.
Paraphrasing something a human said: With data and instructions mixed, there is no way to prevent an AI from following directions found in data.
#Fuck if I know. Also, I am a real human, and this fits with my understanding of cybersecurity and why we don't mix data with directions.
Like you, I only replace when there is a major problem. When there are repairs I can do myself, I do them to extend the life of the phone. My previous phone had corrupted internal memory or storage, and that was that.
I have run into issues where newer software runs poorly. I solve this issue by not running that software.
I have never purchased the exact same model, but they tend to not be offered at that point. I have purchased the same model line. I had really enjoyed the Motorola G line, especially the extended battery iteration.
Highlights from the very short write-up for visibility. Bolding is my own. Read the full ten paragraphs.
... A working knowledge of data protection, in particular the GDPR, is essential. In practice, the workload has been low: the team handled four requests in 2025. Additional proactive work, such as improving the privacy policy or advising teams on data-handling workflows, is welcome but optional and can be shaped by the interests of the volunteers.
This is a role which requires trust. An established track record within the Debian community is therefore important, and it may be difficult for someone who has only very recently become a Debian Developer to take on this role immediately. Since formal delegations can only be made to Debian Developers, this status is a requirement for the role."
I am alone in this, but I would love to see a note about what kind of a thing the seemingly endless random named things are. I was not up on the topic enough to know "Fedora Atomic Images" are a thing. (Though at an early step, that can stop. No need to define Fedora, Atomic, nor image. But enough to know programming library, Linux distro, streaming service, or program.
Like:Bazzle (a Fedora Linux Atomic Image) has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳
Building codes, at least the ones I am aware of, require the light switch inside the room with the light next to the door, similar to how nearly every room you have ever been in. (Everyone knows of exceptions.) This means either corners have been cut, at those switches should control things within the room with the switches.
As the interviewer if attention to detail and following build codes and specifications is important at this company. Is there a culture of safety, or are corners cut that put my life at risk.
Of course, the creators of the security modules could build tools to help them be used better. Maybe not on first release, but at least after other complain about the difficulty. AppArmor did attempt some tools, and is far better than SELinux. Still not great.
As a long time SysAdmin, but not your SysAdmin, I have used two of these. Both had terrible documentation for which many "must use" paid software vendors advise disabling the Security Module as a first step.
If random software vendors' lowest paid intern cannot figure out the settings for arbitrary Linux Security Modules, then the first line of the directions will always be to disable the security module. This leads to them not being used in many cases where the security module would be helpful.
(To explain, it is only the cheapest and most inexperienced person that is typically responsible for doing things as they are not in meetings all day.)
For those wondering, yes, that was a real issue submitted. There are other issues, and they are great.
