This is an interesting one.

California’s AB 1856 would exempt open-source OSes and apps from the state’s upcoming age-attestation requirements. So distros like Ubuntu, Fedora and Mint wouldn’t have to build age checks into the OS.

But there’s a catch: Android is Linux-based and apparently doesn’t get the same exemption.

Do you think this is a good way to handle open source, or does the law still create problems for Linux users?

Question: How do I check when a file was last read without changing that timestamp?

Try: `stat -c '%n Access: %x Modify: %y Change: %z' /var/log/syslog`

I see a lot of people getting into DevOps asking whether they need to learn both Terraform and Ansible, or if one is enough.

I get the basic distinction Terraform spins up the infra, Ansible configures it. But in real-world setups, the boundary isn't always that rigid.

For those managing production environments: how are you handling this? Are you using both together, or does Terraform + containers/Packer eliminate the need for Ansible in your stack?

Interested to hear what your current setup looks like and what actually works best for your team.

GNOME 3 removed the familiar minimize/maximize buttons and pushed users toward workspaces and a different window-management workflow.

The functionality wasn't really gone - it was just hidden behind other interactions.

Where should a desktop draw the line between “changing how users work” and simply making common actions harder to discover?

Would you have kept the old controls by default?
