Slackware is more like a BSD of Linux, to stretch an analogy. A very solid base system, all packaged up as a complete operating system.
LFS is utterly different. There is no installer, there is no base system, there is nothing even approaching the power of Slackware's package manager, as barebones as it seems today.
This is compile everything from source in a separate environment and put everything in the right place essentially manually*.

Nice! When I bought my current phone I assumed a LineageOS would be out on it within the year, but little did I know how bad things had become. Will never by another device without doing oodles of research from now on.
Yuzu should have never played with fire. But to be honest, aren't Nintendo going after Palworld devs at the moment? Feels like this all ultimately boils down to someone in legal being let off their chain.
Yes, they certainly have a history of that. Copyright in Japan has very little carve-out for "fair-use" equivalents, and I believe it is also a criminal offense. I'm guessing some of it comes from the attitudes there being informed by that setting, but can't explain all of it, since other Japanese companies aren't quite as notorious.
Correct, it's a criminal offence in Japan, and you're even notified about that on the form you fill in (either online in advance, or on paper in flight) when you go there. Which is possibly one of the reasons it's close to impossible to find scans or similar (re the retro computing community - it's hard)
Fair play. uBO is THE killer extension, and apparently it never occured to Mozilla that if they were going to insist on using some hideous, Google style, machine led review process for extensions, perhaps they should at least make a carve out for one of the single most important extensions that exists.
I can totally understand gorhill becoming completely insensed by the whole thing and refusing to play ball when Mozilla "realises their mistake". Their mistake was assuming he would simply put up with being subjected to the drudgery that so many extension and open-source developers allow themselves to be subjected to in return for little thanks and ever increasing demands.
The outcome is far from ideal, but the fault, sadly, lies squarely with Mozilla. Real shame.
I did, it does not change what I said. uBO works perfectly fine on Firefox Mobile and doesn't use much battery. People can prefer uBOL, but that doesn't make it important to the ecosystem.
Out of all the criticism Firefox fans make of the mobile version, excess CPU usage and excess RAM usage are at the top of the list. Maybe high-end phones run Firefox decently now, but not everybody has a high-end phone. If uBOL has a place on Firefox, mobile Firefox is where it's best.
It's the same author, essentially same project. Mozilla shouldn't be wasting the maintainer's time and resources with this stuff, and that is the point of my comment. Their comment was nothing but failed pedantry and added nothing if that was its purpose.
Now that you say that, I wonder if that's Google's end game: keep Mozilla on the payroll, disincentivise them from innovating on their product and wait for Firefox to slowly bleed users until nobody is using them and solidify Chrome's position. And that's how they take care of adblockers. They already have wide control over Chromium so that would only leave Safari as the last viable browser alternative (a much harder product to attack).
Now, Google can't stop Firefox from allowing ad blocker extensions, but they can encourage Mozilla to run Firefox in all but abandonware mode, until it dies out.
It's embarrassing how hard the Mozilla Foundation has fumbled their position and I'm having a hard time attributing their actions simply to incompetence.
uBlock Origin is likely the primary reason Firefox has any amount of meaningful browser market share today. If Firefox didn't support it then I would be using another browser. Seeing as Mozilla has been struggling to get anything right, they should be kissing gorhill's behind.
Personally, I think this is a good call. People have a tendency to go with what they know and feel competent in. As people move more and more toward using laptops as their primary or only workstation device, the chances that admins or enthusiasts will choose FreeBSD as their go-to server diminishes if FreeBSD isn't what they're doing their primary computing through. Constant context switching is also made more difficult when you're using a very similar, yet oh so slightly different system, where many familiar commands are present, do basically the same thing, but take different arguments, have the same arguments do different things, or behave in very subtly different ways from your main computing device. Of course, I'm assuming the admin or enthusiast is using Linux on their main machine.
I actually think the structure of BSD projects could be better suited to building laptop support than something more fragmentary like Linux. It doesn't have the same resources, but it can wield those resources in a more concerted manner to support specific models very well, in a way that the structure of the Linux project doesn't facilitate nearly so well.
What exactly would you have the other countries do? What does "warn them" even mean? As if the only problem Pakistan has is that its politics arent sufficiently dictated by the West? I mean, thing would probably be better if that were something the West were actually capable of doing, but Afghanistan shows what that experiment looks like.
Every western and really non-western government should publicly state that the trajectory of Pakistan, South Africa, Brazil, etc is concerning and that if these countries do not change trajectory the human toll will be catastrophic.
Instead we just have silence, and some effective pretence that what is going on in these countries is entirely acceptable merely because the people have voted for their own destruction.
I'm not saying the west should invade and replace the governments as they tried in Afghanistan, but the poor governance in Africa, Asia and South America is incredibly costly for the west. If the west has to pick up the tab when it all comes crashing down, it should have some say.
Some people think that the west (and others) are doing similar things, for example: focusing on some migrants rather than tackling climate change. This too will have a catastrophic human toll in my opinion, I think people are warned, and still the focus is on basically anything else.
To be honest, I would have a different issue with "the civilized countries" (whatever east/west/etc.). They should be a role model, and while they are a bit better than some on the list, they are quite far from what they could be.
So, probably, rather than worry about how bad has it someone hundreds of miles away, try to improve something in the local vicinity.
Illegal immigrants will go to "the better" at probably any difference between two countries. Is that all that "the west" aspires now to?
And the level of hypocrisy in many countries is astonishing. A lot of companies in said countries take advantage of illegal immigrant labor, but nobody thinks about blaming them for the huge number of illegal immigrants.
But I think this discussion is in favor of "some elites". Rather than asking also for industrial development, redistribution, environment protection people are "encouraged" to blame everything on the immigrants. Look at UK. They wanted out of EU to "control their borders", and check how well it went for them in living standards... Probably now they complain their neighbors don't fix the problem for them.
To circle back to the start, everybody has a different opinion about what others should do, so doubt someone telling country X something will improve a lot the outcomes.
Brazil has been experiencing de growth since about 2011. The GDP per capita has been decreasing, unemployment has been increasing, corruption has been increasing, and governance has been getting worse.
If this continues the people of Brazil will necessarily be much more at the mercy of forces of nature than if they had a stronger economy and were well governed.
The line where he points out that you need to stir continuously is important. He's saying that by mixing the milk and tea reliably, you can eyeball the colour of the tea. Indeed, this helps you regulate the flavour over multiple cups as the tea may be stronger (and therefore darker) if you have not removed the tea leaves. Conversely humans are terrible at measuring volumes in isolation in a container thar may differ in size.
If you're concerned about regulating the tea (to water) to milk ratio, i.e., obtaining a reliable flavour), milk first wouldn't even be a possibility.
People however don't tend to have perfectly uniform cups even in their own home, and whenever outside one's home, the chances are very low that somebody can make accurate adjustments for a new vessel due to our well documented inability to compare volumes across different vessels.
Further the milk first method cannot account for differences in tea strength across brewings.
If we take the amount of times/chances milk first could lead you astray vs. the amount of times tea first plus stirring as you pour could lead you astray, the former is oviously greater and more likely.
I saw somewhere here somebody talking about the different ways the milk sugars might caramelise with the two methods being a factor, and obviously the article suggests there is a difference between the two methods in terms of flavour, but in terms of reliability of flavour, the latter option is obviously more reliable.
I take my tea black and unsweetened anyway, unless I'm drinking Hong Kong style milk-tea that is... then all bets on my blood-sugar levels are off...
