We only have about 1 billion, maybe 2 billion at max years to figure out how to build a generational starship. That may seem like a long time, but it'll be right up on us in no time. You realize that with present day tech, it's basically impossible. We don't have the faintest idea of how to build a habitat in space. It's not even in the realm of imagination as to how to do it. We need to start funding it at a massive level.

Fun fact, there has been two Linux distributions officially certified as "UNIX". Inspur and Huawei for whatever reason bothered to get them officially certified.

On the flip side, there's an odd sentence in the XDG specification that explicitly qualifies the wording around filesystem feature requirements to apply only to Unix-like platforms. Clearly they had Unix in mind, but they explicitly bothered to give an implicit pass to any hypothetical non-Unix, non-Unix-like platforms.
