Which was 32 of 35.

I mean sure if you bothered to read it and not just ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-v.

Yeah so maybe literally every student used AI but 3 read the output before submitting.

Why not just say “32 of 35 students”?

University degrees serve at least two functions.

One function is a sort of guarantee that you have the knowledge and skills of the particular degrees you obtain.

The other function is to show that you are the kind of person who gets university degrees… whether that is because you are competent or just that you come from a socio-economic background that values university degrees nad can afford them.

For that second function cheating matters very little if you don’t get caught.

For the first function, it might also not be super relevant. I had to take a humanities class for my computer science degree. If I had cheated on the theater exam it would not have made me a worse programmer. 😄

especially when his parents excellent test scores are added in

…what? 🤔

If only they didn’t weigh more than a car…

I came from Debian and Arch and was pleasantly surprised at how easy to set up and run NixOS is. I’ve been using it on my personal laptop for months now without any major issues.

If you have a credit card then you can owe a bank 20 dollars, so…

I use MoCA at home, 1 GBit. It works pretty well, and I get almost full speed.

Every now and then I have some blip and have to power cycle on one of the coax-to-Ethernet connector, so that’s annoying. It’s like twice a year, so not a huge problem.

The biggest drawback is high latency. It’s milliseconds instead of microseconds in the house. I guess it’s buffering and framing, so maybe unavoidable.

I also do see some small packet loss. Less than WiFi, but not zero like you’d see from a proper Cat6 cable.

Maybe just but a pair of MoCA adapters to try in your setup?

Lots of different reasons.

Some hated the GPL, viewing it as less free (which is kind of true depending on who’s freedom you care about… personally I care about freedom of users and protecting society from large corporations, but you do you BSD fans).

Some disliked the crappy network stack (the superior UDP performance and IPv6 compliance were much touted at the time… although my own benchmarks didn’t confirm the BSD folks beliefs there). It may be hard to imagine with all of the innovation in networking layers that continues in Linux now, but that was the situation 20 or 25 years ago.

Further on networking, some disliked the ipchains/iptables (now nftables I guess) firewalling and whined constantly about how much better pf was. My firewalling needs have always been simple (except for whatever horrors Docker forces on me), so I never understood the rage.

Some complained about the terrible threading model in Linux (back before this was essentially solved in Linux, leaving Linux threading far superior to BSD threading).

Some pointed to the plethora of distributions as inferior to the obviously better model of the OS shipping with a blessed set of tools (think FreeBSD “base” or whatever).

Some bemoaned the lack of “jails” in Linux (essentially a primitive form of containers).

Anyway.

I think basically it was just annoyance that people used Linux instead of their favorite.

I used to use Linux.

I still do, but I also did in the past.

I worked at a company filled with BSD zealots. Their burning hatred for Linux was all-consuming, bad really put me off of the lot.
