What, does he have a coup for one special?

Maybe he has a... coupon...?

I'm a Norwegian Linux enthusiast and have never heard anything about the government using Ubuntu or Linux. Seems unlikely, from what I know. I know that within healthcare Windows is still widely used, even on the server side...

On the other hand, a lot of software for official services is being developed as open source now, so that's at least a good step in the right direction. Example: https://github.com/navikt

Probably my all-time favorite, I have had this one hanging on the wall in my kitchen for years!

I mean, that's quite literally happening, more or less. Check out the documentary Praying for Armageddon if you can find it.

An additional problem (maybe the biggest problem imho) is Amazon and Netflix et al refusing to give them more than 8 episodes per season. For things with a huge amount of source material (e.g. Wheel of Time) this forces the writers to make big changes in order to try to tell a big story in a too short amount of time. Combine this with inexperienced writers or writers who think they can do a better job than the source material, and you've got a recipe for failure, in my opinion.

The Wheel of Time, for example, had many small moments that were amazing, almost perfect, but overall the show ends up being disappointing when so many other parts fail completely.

I literally have an account there dedicated to porn. Have had it for years. I stopped using Twitter after the muskocalypse, except I still check my porn account every once in a while.

You have to actively go looking for porn there, but once you do it's a neverending rabbit hole. Especially if you're into some niche/fetish stuff. There's some unique stuff to be found there...

It actually wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be true

You should remove the executable permission, see my other reply. Movie files should never be executable, but directories should be.

chmod -R -x+X * should do the trick, that will remove the executable permission on all files, and set it on directories.

This is not correct. Movie files do not need to be executable, and never should be! Not that movie files being executable will cause problems, but it's possible to imagine a scenario where an attacker could exploit it, especially if the files are owned by root. Extremely unlikely, but I work in IT and always think about security :)

You might be thinking of directories, which do need the executable permission to let a user/group/all be able to read its contents.
