I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system.

Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

FWIW the Radioactivity article is about the Kraftwerk original while OP linked a Fatboy Slim remix / cover. Kinda reminds me of early Ladytron actually

On purpose? Please elaborate

You want earplugs that dampen above a certain threshold. That rules out most earplugs because they always dampen all sound.

Wait, how does that work? Surely a dynamic limiter like that would require some electronics

Lol wait, the RuPaul’s Drag Race bit with the pickle suit was based on a real thing?

There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I don’t think this fits the community

Edit: Yup, that’s it

Yeah, fair enough - you do have a point.

Or don’t, since the actual devs get nothing from the sale if you do.

This whole section gives me Myst vibes too

I can see why!

What letter is the black blob covering?

That’s a knee-slapper
