[10:17] schestowitz[TR][10:17] schestowitz[TR]"helloSystem is a desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the Less, but better philosophy. It is intended as a system for mere mortals, welcoming to switchers from the Mac. FreeBSD is used as the core operating system. Please refer to https://github.com/helloSystem/hello if you would like to learn more about the ideas a [10:17] schestowitz[TR] nd principles behind hello."
[10:17] schestowitz[TR]The developer himself is the founder of another technology, called AppImage, that helps GNU/Linux both users and developers adding and distributing applications for computer in simple ways. We use helloSystem version 0.7 on ThinkPad Core i5 6GB T430 to do the test.

[10:23] schestowitz[TR][10:23] schestowitz[TR]In layman's terms, GDB lets you peek inside a program while the program is executing, something that lets you help identify where exactly the problem is. We'll discuss the usage of the GDB debugger through a working example in the next section, but before that, here, we'll discuss a few basic points that'll help you later on.
[10:23] schestowitz[TR]Firstly, to successfully use debuggers like GDB, you have to compile your program so that the compiler also produces debugging information that debuggers require. For example, in case of the gcc compiler, which we'll be using to compile the example C program later in this tutorial, you need to use the -g command line option while compiling your code.

[10:23] schestowitz[TR][10:23] schestowitz[TR]Computers represent strings using bytes. Most often, we use the Unicode standard to represent characters in bytes. The universal format to exchange strings online is called UTF-8. It can represent over a million characters while retaining compatibility with the ancient ASCII format.

[11:38] schestowitz[TR][11:38] schestowitz[TR]The National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) and the College Art Association (CAA) expressed their deep concern with Arkansas Tech Universitys handling of its on-campus exhibition, Artifacts, by artist Dominique Simmons. According to the artists statement, Artifacts sought to acknowledge the past, good and bad, as it relates to the American South and included fraught imagery. Howeve [11:38] schestowitz[TR] r, the universitys museum did little to contextualize the exhibition, address exhibition critiques, or provide forums to explore controversial issues, thereby failing both the artist and its audiences.

[11:51] schestowitz[TR][11:51] schestowitz[TR]If you've seen the news recently, you'll have noticed many articles on the comet with the green tail (C/2022 E3) that will only come once in a lifetime for everyone to see.
[11:51] schestowitz[TR]In theory, you can see the comet through a telescope across several days, but I don't own a telescope. So my window to see the comet was down to one night when it would be visible without any special equipment.
As of writing this article, that would be tonight.
But as I write this article, there's full cloud coverage and rain.

[11:53] schestowitz[TR]From Mesa to the disk encryption package cryptsetup and Xfce software to GraphicsMagick, the snapshots are rolling with new software updates.
