Never walk behind a forklift

Sorry for chuckling at your disappointment.

I try to follow Bash strict mode. It can protect you from some foot shooting.

I hate that my government (Sweden) is a driving force behind this.

No thanks

Odd choice to use Android 11 on one of them and Android 14 on the other. Makes me suspicious of their ability to keep these devices up to date over time.

Yes, unstable Debian is still hella stable. But you probably don’t want to suggest it as the first Linux dust since you need some extra carefulness when updating.

I agree with this but I suspect that a lot of the backend is dependent on other in-house infrastructure so it’s not as easy as most people think.

Won’t that allow for crap to fall into the USB port?

Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn’t sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

We have well established ways to deal with secrets. Also, everyone is responsible enough to not self approve changes where they do things they are uncertain of.

We very seldom resort to self approvals. Everyone in the team see code reviews as important. But also that progress trumps code review.

Who said anything about only requiring 1 reviewer? And no, I did not drop an /s. You should try working for a healthy team where everyone takes collective responsibility and where the teams progress is more important than any one person’s progress.

We decided that everyone in the team is allowed to approve changes. If no one has reviewed your change within 24 hours you are allowed to approve it yourself. It will usually come up in the daily sync that a self approval is imminent, which usually leads to someone taking a look.

Yes, the top most directory, /, is the root directory.

Each directory is a branch in one giant tree structure. For example, if you have a directory containing two other directories, that is a branch that is splitting into two branches. All directories are descendants of the same root.

Gnome with the gTile extension is quite nice.

It’s enough that you have read the code before implementing an alternative to get into legal trouble.

If it works and you are still figuring things out, I suggest not taking specific action right now. Use your package manager to keep your system up to date and it will deal with this in due time.

You can usually switch the default in bios.

I didn’t even see that picture in the OP. What that diagram calls a view I would call a viewport. But yes, it would have been better to use the same terminology as OP.
