That there was a file system. AND A caching system with more or less the same name. Bcache and Bcachefs
The former being a way to semi speed up raid array's with a cache ssd.

No, surnames did not come from the religion, in Europe specificity it became necessary as the population boomed with the economy after the black death killed off the static social class system. Especially since families of lower classes could grow without the explicit approval of the land's nobility like the local Barron.
Before that, you were 'john of 'town's name''. Later that became 'John the 'smith'' because there were more than one John in the settlement and not all of them had the same profession. Not long after, smith just became a name and not a moniker of the person's profession they were born into.
Especially since not to long after this became necessary, the old 'everyone in your family worked in a smithy, so you can only work in one too'. Went away and the current idea of a person can choose and change what they worked as came about.

As for the Japanese side of things, any casual research from non western sources shows the opposite. The overwhelming majority of the public did not like this. They viewed it as western culture warriors 'trying' to imprint their ideals(specifically feminists) over Japanese culture and traditions. Marriages are considered a union if two families, not a separation of the children from their parents. The two partners are considered equal and in no way do the women feel 'oppressed' they can't keep their maiden name.

A hybrid is the answer for many people. They work well. Electric continues to improve but is still too much of a niche product.

I recently bought a new car. If I could lay my hands on something like a RAV4 Hybrid I'd be all over it. Good luck. I bought a VW Taos instead.

Don't worry, SystemD will copy it just like it copied the idea of svhost.exe of the pre-win10 days when it was a giant blob of minor process. And even if a minor one crashed, bluescreen. It's windows lite.

A few years ago I ported some legacy device firmware from its ancient Sun-based development environment to gcc (68k cross-compiler) and Linux. Most of the code compiled reasonably as-is. Some of it required a bit of hand-holding, like telling gcc that I really did need to store four characters one at a time rather than a single long when talking to a dual-port RAM interface.

Some of the low-level OS code did in fact require assembly. So be it.

I accept that no matter what I do at airport security it will be wrong. This is, according to some sources, by design. Keeps the bad guys on their toes. Something like that.

As a Canadian the only biometric ID I have is my passport. Despite the pressure to do so, I do not use it for domestic flights. International flights only. For U.S. domestic flights I use my drivers license. For Canadian domestic flights, my pilots license.

Ok so you don't know? You've admitted ignorance. Now go away. There's nothing valuable you can say on this topic.

The company issued an apology. You're arguing against something the company admits to doing. I can say factual things here and get modded down because they're uncomfortable to a certain tribe.

That it's 4 people here is merely an indication of the sad state of Slashdot, both in relevance and as a left wing bubble.

You're ridiculous. People in your camp will defend a black murderer as oppressed, and the white toddler he executed as his oppressor. (I'm referring to a real incident.)

There was some merit to the oppressor/oppressed argument 100 years ago. You're clinging to it for political points. Everyone has been equal for quite some time now, and shoving black characters absolutely everywhere is a tried and true race baiting strategy for companies who benefit just as much from rage clicks as they do from upvotes. It's reasonable to have push back to such despicable marketing tactics.

It's not the black man, it's not even the historical accuracy (though there's plenty of reason to claim false advertising of historical accuracy.) It's the toxic race baiting that everyone from every side should rightly abhor.

That part is storytelling magic. It's acceptable. The casting of a black person as a Samurai isn't. It was claimed by the company to be the historically accurate part, and people saw through the BS.

You better hope the righteous cause you're arguing for doesn't have one stupid person uttering threats, because you're going to be painted as just like them.

You'd never want to be treated the way you're now treating others, so why do it?

Trolls and dumbasses just want to see the world burn. For all we know it's lies and false flags, considering how useful it is to cry about their bad behaviour.

A perfectly insightful comment moderated into oblivion for political reasons.

They cherry picked the most sympathetic employee, amped up the crocodile tears, and portray their company as blameless despite the company also publishing profuse apologies. This is a hit piece against paying customers upset that they were sold a "historically accurate" game with modern 21st century race politics shoehorned in.

It's outrage over false advertising, nothing more. Nobody cried when Afro Samurai came out because nobody promised realism. Keep in mind the person who was "harassed" was hired specifically to make the game more realistic. Companies love taking those crazy exceptions to the rule and painting rightfully angry customers with that same brush.

People have had enough, and stupidly calling someone "racist" no longer has the bite it used to. Baizuos, all of you false modders!
