You can helpfully provide a "debian" folder and the rpmbuild config that worked on one test system, and all the debian/redhat based distributions take your tarball and then adapt the things you got different from how they do things usually.
Provided your application already has enough users compiling it from source code to justify packaging it in the first place.
I think allo is referring to the "game-key cards": Nintendo Switch 2 cartridges that contain the title screen and nothing else, where the whole game is shipped as a day-one update. At least on the original Switch, Nintendo required the first few missions of the single-player campaign to be on the cartridge. Among early physical games for Nintendo Switch 2, only Nintendo's first-party games and CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 weren't game-key cards.
Mod parent funny. But so far the joke seems to have sailed right over the heads of the moderators.
My new "tech joke" attempt involves a different kind of computerization. It's a conspiracy joke about the bruised hand. The YOB can't sign his own name now, but he can't admit that he's using Joe's autopen, so they made a robot arm that clamps over his arm and fingers and guides them in signing documents. It clamps on a bit too firmly, but they had to focus on loyalty and secrecy over competence (as usual) as they were building the device in a secret closet somewhere.
The signing ceremonies? Faked. The documents are signed before he even opens them. If they want to pretend they are showing a camera angle with the pen in action, then that's being handled with AI video (AKA AI slop) now.
They just did. Jobs are still being created.
A recovery more like it
First off AI needs to sit in a desk and be watched for productivity. How do we know they are really working if we don't badge swipe and see them?
AI needs full collaboration and creativity that hallway moments and using shared poopy toilets, which brings in that real company value. It can't happen.
Just ask any pointless HR rep or CEO on this?!

If you don't have a CD drive, then you don't get to rip CDs. You'll have to acquire your files some other way. And/or buy a CD drive.
How can I rip CDs to a phone?
You don't. You rip them to your fileserver at home, and run a subsonic-API server on that. The phone connects to it over a VPN, and a subsonic API player plays it to the car with bluetooth.
seats packed to remind your knees that they are trying to maximize the headcount per square foot(see also, seats in blatantly undesirable positions relative to the screen); dickheads making noise or fucking around on their phones, some asshole who decided to bring a screaming-age child, the works.
I went to a couple movies a few months ago, and I didn't see any of that. My fat American ass had plenty of room in the reclining sear, and the next row of seats was a few feet beneath me and seemingly ten feet away. The theaters have become fucking luxurious.
But it's expensive. And I wonder if that's what's keeping the obnoxious screaming kids away.
And you're totally right about the half hour of ads. That's definitely the worst part, these days.
But the seats and space
Abandon hope, all ye who press enter here.

What would your hardened version of C look like?
It'd look like a subset of C where the compiler emits a diagnostic for every undefined behavior that's practical to detect at compile time and inserts code to catch at runtime everything else the standard calls undefined. The first step toward this is what GCC already does for -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -fsanitize=address,undefined. The second step is that a pointer variable doesn't contain a raw address but instead a base address and index, and every dereference of an array member is bounds-checked against the size of the object it came from. This ends up making the language's strict aliasing rule even stricter, and a lot of pointer casts or union puns become undefined and therefore errors. After programmers become accustomed to stricter pointer provenance, a compiler maker can add a concept of ownership, with a borrow checker to detect use-after-free and the like.
