You’re right, but you have to consider what USPS has to contend with. Its not the fault of USPS as a government provided service.

They need to fully fund their employees retirement health benefits 75 years into the future unlike any other company. This destroyed any sort of year-year operation funding they had in the oughts. So when they would have been able to reinvest into keeping services timely and efficient, instead they were forced to kick the can down the road to focus on retiree benefits for every single postal worker in the branch.

Package volume increased from roughly 3 billion in 2006 to 7.3 billion in 2025. Package volume in USPS essentially doubled while national package volume increased somewhere in the range of 10x. Which shows that companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon captured a majority of the market growth due to their liquidity and better margins. USPS is forced to deliver to every domestic address so they’re stuck with tougher delivery routes that cost more while the other private delivery companies hoover up lower cost/simpler deliveries. All while the primary revenue driver of first-class mail dropped like a rock due to the rise in email traffic.

This is all ignoring the fact that congress won’t allow them to upgrade their delivery fleet. They’ve been forced to manage their fleet of Grumman LLVs from 1986 as though its the ship of Theseus. They want and everyone else wants them to upgrade but they’ve been hamstrung time and time again by lawsuits and Oshkosh’s own inability to build an electric truck. Instead their deliveries still rely on trucks last built in 1994, making them at least 32 years old at this point, with no airbags, no A/C, and getting 8mpg.

OP just posting to show off their 64gigs of RAM, 1TB boot SSD, and 26TB of platter storage.

I guess I shouldn’t have said kernel, but it’s used in virtually all major distros other than like Alpine and Gentoo.

You’re right. It was the whole Linux kernel but it was published in the official repo for Debian so criticism for Ubuntu seems hypocritical

I don’t have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

That’d be very illegal and you’d 100% charged and prosecuted, but I agree with the sentiment

Friendly reminder that it’s the most improvised

MacGyver is fucked

That was a fun little county fair roller coaster ride. Well worth the 2 tickets.

Well that depends. Were you suggesting that he do that officially or unofficially?

Hopefully not

Fishy how? As in a state-level backdooring like was the case with XZ and Jia Tan or are you weary of something else?
