Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

Yeah. And the exact same thing the last 3 times this was implemented in systemd/some Linux distros. We’ve discussed this to death in multiple threads, with many people saying they probably should move to BSD.

So I still think this is newsworthy solely because of that last point.

FAT Table

Can I just pay? I can go to the ATM Machine and enter my PIN Number

Yeah, nah. That’s not how the term up/downstream is used in the context of product streams.

Personally, a few reasons.

• I don’t need to run 2 containers and >10GB. I could just install and run in 10 seconds.
• My whole library and metadata is self contained in a single dir. On a fresh OS install I could simply point Calibre to the dir, and off we go.
• A rich plugin ecosystem, including deDRM plugins.
• I can just ignore the AI stuff (for now, at least)
• I’ve used it for close to 2 decades. Familiarity is definitely a factor. And yes, it’s still as ugly as it was 20 years ago. But once you’ve set your workflow up, the UI just kinda melds to the background.

It is one of the ugliest, most complex to configure, pieces of software I’ve ever used. It’s also the best ebook management tool out there. I love Calibre.

I hate that it’s the default for websites and there’s usually no option to change it.

Firefox with the Dark Reader extension is a godsend.

Ha. This reminds me that my Ubisoft boycott started circa 2010 when they introduced UPlay (I think it was called something else then). It kicked me off my single player game when it rained and my connection became unstable. 15 years clean. Quite proud of myself!

I was thinking more along the lines of, "let people pirate. Here’s a megayacht’.

Everyone has a price. Maybe a superyacht or two from Gabe’s fleet?

I had to double back to this comic, because I only got the pun two minutes after I scrolled past it…
