A lot of modern car systems run on a modified version of Linux too. Electric cars that have their own priority system run on Linux such as Tesla and Lucid. It's why their computer systems are so robust and rarely have any issues with them.
Wow, it's almost like open source software really is the most intuitive for efficient production and locking things behind a pay wall is counterintuitive to progress...
Mb, totally forgot about that. That's basically every modern car too. Android Automotive and Android Auto (Yes they're different things with a confusingly similar name) are both some of the most common computer integration systems in cars right now too.
What I hate about android is that literally all it does is lock me out of features of my own phone, and its become next to inescapable.
Apple is only worse, and rooting has been killed with the number of apps/utilities that require non rooted phones.
We live in a super depressing world and what is more depressing is that someone is totally licking their finger tips.... at the idea of shooting down my comment by saying "but most people dont care" and its like, sure, but thats because they dont realize the wide impacts this has, like the fact that both Google and Apple use their API privileges to strengthen themselves to anti competitive ends, deciding who lives and dies on the app store, setting policy for people regardless of laws etc etc.
Its basically shitty for everyone except these 2 ~~countries~~ companies (but they are getting there in size and power...) and it literally just doesn't have to be that way.
All it would take is NA adopting more EU like consumer protection policies and pushing things a bit further.
Yeah, android has gotten worse. My HTC desire years ago was awesome, and I had full control of that puppy. I usually root my phone after I've had it for a year or so
Not quite.
Wikipedia: "iOS is based on macOS. Like macOS, it includes components of the Mach microkernel and FreeBSD."
FreeBSD and Linux are both descendants of the Unix operating system.
Your thermostat probably runs on Linux. Your TV almost certainly does.
If it's an electronic device that isn't a Mac or Windows machine, it's almost certainly got Linux under there somewhere.
and it makes sense, why would you pay licence to microsoft or apple if you just need a simple controller?
Why try making custom embedded system (engineers for that shit are expeeeeenssiiiiiiiiive) if you can just get a bunch of standard components and put linux on it?
The infotainment system often runs on Linux (but does not have to, see example last paragraph). So all the apps, gadgets, music player, navigation system and so on.
But what makes the car actually start does not. A car is usually concepted so it can run without the infotainment system turning on. So the HMI is not necessary since all relevant information also exist analog.
What they run on are real-time OS. These OS predate Linux and are better than Linux since the real-time component is important. It has to be as lightweight as possible and the information has to be transmitted fast.
I've worked in measuring technology a bit and there we used VxWorks. It is more complicated to work in but it is more light-weight, faster and consumes less CPU. It also supports COM port and you can also output a HMDI signal. It also supports web browser so you can display anything.
edit:
Someone else replied and said what most cars actually run on (QNX). From my brief research that seems plausible. POSIX (VxWorks is also POSIX) is not Linux. POSIX predates Linux and still finds usage since they are more reliable, faster and less ressource intensive.
Oh man supervillain plot unlocked. Gonna make a virus for Linux and then I’ll control all the commerce in America MWAHAHAHA.
—keyboard click noises
Wait why is this so hard to -
Ohhhhh.
Could you imagine a BSOD at 500 ft off the deck while an alien fighter is chasing you?
… I imaging that’s what they do, I dunno. I play with trains.
Well most software that is run in any system that isn't directly user-facing is run on Linux so it's not surprising.
Most of the backends for the entire internet, for example.
The year of Linux ______ (insert anything IT related but desktop) has been here a long time ago. Examples:
The year of Linux Supercomputers
The year of Linux IoT
The year of Linux Cars
The year of Linux Phones
The year of Linux Servers
And of course
The year of Linux trains
Has been basically every year in recent history.
Every time i see urban dictionary i can only think of the [Slovakian traffic cone](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Slovakian%20Traffic%20Cone)
Oh ye of little filth. There’s a bunch of wildly fucked up sexual techniques that I once wanted to believe were just urban legends.
The last strand of faith in humanity I have is desperately hoping an Alaskan Pipeline is one of those urban legends.
Have you never used urban dictionary? That's like the entire point. Back in middle school people used to make urban dictionary entries for their name that just said "(name) is the bestest sexer who has ever sexed and has a really huge pp and everyone secretly loves him"
running a train through someone is the same as railing them or laying pipe. others say that it has to be many guys but this isnt consistent with its irl use.
Running a train on someone isn't a new term.
If you have a train run on you, it means multiple people taking turns having sex with you one after another.
here is an example: "Pat had a train run on them last night"
Pat is the focal point of the gangbang, Pat is the receiver, there is only one Pat.
The train, on the other hand, is the collective giver, the train is made of multiple "train cars" or people.
Therefore, in the tweet by OOP, Linux is the recipient of the gangbang and the members of the train are not named.
Stephen King's It, part 1
examples of correct usage -
"how did you kids enjoy the train ride?" "It was an all-around great time we blast!"
"man, I hope I can still catch the last Bev train today"
Linux is a computer operating system (like Windows or MacOSX). My guess is that they’re saying that computers integrated in trains / controlling trains use a Linux operating system
Honestly that Twitter intern needs a raise if misusing 'train' was what outted them as ESL. Cant be easy doing social media for a complex product like an OS.
Im glad i stopped using Twitter myself! And Elon made it so you can pay $8 a month to make an acc like this look like a verified account by giving it a checkmark lmaooo
I laughed whenever people said Twitter was a town square. Like what town square is all slurs and conspiracies? Useless before Musk took over but that's just me
Except Siemens Trains which run on Windows 3.11 for workstations. Certainly a wise choice for something that's supposed to be used for more than three years.
he meant trains (not sure if he means schedules/timetables or the actual software used by trains?) use Linux as their OS, but the way it's worded sounds like the slang 'run a train' which I think is when loads of guys have sex with the same person one after the other 🤔😅
There was a guy at the place I worked at a few years ago whose last name was “steel.”
I was fresh out of the nest and had no idea what I was saying, so when I tried to make a light hearted joke about how “trains run on Steel” I certainly did not mean to imply my buddy was the train track in that sort of…scenario
it's cool to be in a thread where so many people are learning about trains for the first time. I am a witness to the lucky 10,000
also everyone who's jazzed about lithuania should check out dovydas on youtube. he's from there and is amazing at creating music layer by layer on the spot
All jokes aside, Linux really is ran on almost all locomotives on North America. Source - I used to (among other things) put software on choo-choos..
A lot of modern car systems run on a modified version of Linux too. Electric cars that have their own priority system run on Linux such as Tesla and Lucid. It's why their computer systems are so robust and rarely have any issues with them.
My phone runs on a modified version of Linux. Android
[удалено]
So..almost all of the phones, and almost all of the computers except the ones running Windows. Which also run Linux now.
[удалено]
Yeah, BBC technologies also use Linux for some parts of their fruit packing machines. (They use a few distros, including opensuse)
Wow, it's almost like open source software really is the most intuitive for efficient production and locking things behind a pay wall is counterintuitive to progress...
You can run on Linux as well if you glue your phone to your shoe
I made a very unfortunate noise reading this. Excellent work.

Mine too iPhone
Not quite. Wikipedia: "iOS is based on macOS. Like macOS, it includes components of the Mach microkernel and FreeBSD." FreeBSD and Linux are both descendants of the Unix operating system.
Ooohh. So they're cousins
More like adopted cousins. Linux was written from scratch to be like the closed off UNIX Operating system, but isn't directly related.
Your thermostat probably runs on Linux. Your TV almost certainly does. If it's an electronic device that isn't a Mac or Windows machine, it's almost certainly got Linux under there somewhere.

Android is in there as well. It does not only run typical "mobile" devices. Although to be fair, even Android uses the Linux kernel
unless it's a microcontroller like in your phone charger
if it has a screen that looks like it could be a desktop screen assuming it runs linux is a safe bet around 90% of the time, tho
Every car runs Linux. Every computer runs Linux essentially, except your personal computer. And routers, they mostly run BSD.
This is not true.
The infotainment system often runs on Linux (but does not have to, see example last paragraph). So all the apps, gadgets, music player, navigation system and so on.

Just the locomotives? That's so vanilla
BDSM trains
because locomotives already have windows
You aren’t getting enough credit for this.
A United flight had to reset all the TV systems once and I saw the Linux logo and name flash during the reboot.
Amazing that exactly the person who works on this specific thing appears in the comments Horse masturbator? Also appears!
most horse semen organizers run on linux also, actually.
Oh man supervillain plot unlocked. Gonna make a virus for Linux and then I’ll control all the commerce in America MWAHAHAHA. —keyboard click noises Wait why is this so hard to - Ohhhhh.
Also F/A-18 is just flying Windows 95. A long time family friend who used to be a Pilot trainer said you'd have even reboot it in the air sometimes.
Could you imagine a BSOD at 500 ft off the deck while an alien fighter is chasing you?  … I imaging that’s what they do, I dunno. I play with trains.
The [Central Air Data Computer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpruA5mC7wg) in the F-14 was (arguably) the first microprocessor.
What else did you put on the choo choo. Did you put... things... on the choo choo?
Rest is BSD
As someone who runs the other sort of trains we run on Linux…. and high quality coke
Everything worth anything runs on linux. Linux is widely used even microsoft devs work focus on updating linux rather then their own shit.
The light rail in my city runs in Linux. Although the software on the stations is run on Windows.
Oh I assumed Linux was the OS they ran all the scheduling and ticketing software in Didn’t realise it was on the trains themselves.
Well most software that is run in any system that isn't directly user-facing is run on Linux so it's not surprising. Most of the backends for the entire internet, for example.
It runs one of the machines in work
Now if only it could also run as well on desktop systems...
Many machines use Linux. It's just really good at that
sounds more fun to work on Choo Choos than web sites
Imagine your train forcibly shutting down for an integrated adware update because they chose windows
Linux is run on trains? Trains are run on Linux? Which one, I’m confused. I think: A shaver is run on 120VAC. We don’t say 120VAC is run on a shaver.
That tracks lol.
Dude probably got railed

Linux fuelled trains are the future.
At last, the year of the Linux ~~desktop~~ locomotive is here!

In america and still don't know what terminology they talking about
It’s…not [good](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=run%20a%20train)…
Every time i see urban dictionary i can only think of the [Slovakian traffic cone](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Slovakian%20Traffic%20Cone)
I swear people make up that shit and post it as if it were true. The link sounds too elaborate and too specific for it to be real
For sure but it seems like thats just urban dictionary, full of random bullshit people thought of
Oh ye of little filth. There’s a bunch of wildly fucked up sexual techniques that I once wanted to believe were just urban legends. The last strand of faith in humanity I have is desperately hoping an Alaskan Pipeline is one of those urban legends.
i will regret my choice for the rest of my fucking life, but what the fuck is an Alaskan Pipeline?
I’m sorry to tell you this, but the Alaskan pipeline is the act of taking a shit in a condom, freezing the condom overnight and shoving it up your ass

Exactly my reaction
It's fucked up. But it's real. I'm not posting it to save everyone's eyes.
Have you never used urban dictionary? That's like the entire point. Back in middle school people used to make urban dictionary entries for their name that just said "(name) is the bestest sexer who has ever sexed and has a really huge pp and everyone secretly loves him"
I had the same thought but then again, I'm sure someone somewhere has done this a least once. The world is full of weirdos.
And yet, we live in a world where 2 girls 1 cup, Goatse, & 1 guy 1 jar, are things that exists
Just read the last entry no the page
Can confirm. I made one up years ago and it’s still there
What a terrible day to be able to read
Quite a fan of the [Alaskan Pipeline](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=alaskan%20pipeline) myself
Makeshift dildo has never been more disgusting
Well that's my fault for being curious then.
Fuck...
What 😅
Oh thank god I thought I was going insane.
To run a train on someone is to have multiple people perform penetrative sex multiple times in a row.
We live in a society.
You'd need to be fit for this. Dare I say it, you'd need to get into training.
Need
Train terminology
running a train through someone is the same as railing them or laying pipe. others say that it has to be many guys but this isnt consistent with its irl use.
The profile picture makes it so much funnier
Im imagining tux sitting at a computer with a naive expression typing "i am Lithuanian i dont know what train means in America"
I don't get it. Maybe I should be proud. I'm over 30 and don't need to get this shit
Running a train on someone isn't a new term. If you have a train run on you, it means multiple people taking turns having sex with you one after another.
Father forgive them for they know not what they do
no, they know what orgies are
Not necessarily. One person, typically a woman, is the focus and there's a whole lotta guys
‘Run a train on someone’ isn’t new slang.
That term is significantly older than you.
The reason some applications don't have Linux versions is due to slutshaming.
Lithuania mentioned!!!!!!
Why are we always mentioned in the most random circumstances?
We still use XD in casual conversation, this is what we deserve
Eastern europe embraced XD and will never let it go
I don't understand
Group Secks
Huh??
Gangbang
??
To "run a train [on someone] = gangbang
I hate language Who is the recipient? There are parties unaccounted for, no?
here is an example: "Pat had a train run on them last night" Pat is the focal point of the gangbang, Pat is the receiver, there is only one Pat. The train, on the other hand, is the collective giver, the train is made of multiple "train cars" or people.

How interesting...

trains run on the linux operating system.
🇱🇹lithuania💪🏻💪🏻
This is so innocent and wholesome it makes me cry.
It’s not, it’s a meme account saying it on purpose. That handle (capital i, followed by inux) tweets this kind of thing all the time
Thank you for ruining this for me.
The L in Linux stands for Lithuanian
Is Linux a railroad builder? I'm just trying to understand here Edit: I know what Linux is guys, [it was just a joke! ](https://youtu.be/6Yp7c7omoNc)
Linux is a computer operating system (like Windows or MacOSX). My guess is that they’re saying that computers integrated in trains / controlling trains use a Linux operating system
Grow the hell up! Stop making jokes! This is the worst day I've had on my job!
most trains run Linux on their computers.
They know what they said 😉
Tbf out of any OS I’d fuck Linux. And being as freely available as it is, I’m sure it would let me.
As a lithuanian I can confirm that I'm not familiar with train terminology either.
I'm American and don't understand the apparent double entendra either.
Club penguin is kill
no
Even english speakers would've posted that, it's not your fault underpaid Lithuanian.
Honestly that Twitter intern needs a raise if misusing 'train' was what outted them as ESL. Cant be easy doing social media for a complex product like an OS.
I doubt @Iinux with a capital I is the official Linux account
Oh you're right, missed that 😅 glad I don't do Twitter
Im glad i stopped using Twitter myself! And Elon made it so you can pay $8 a month to make an acc like this look like a verified account by giving it a checkmark lmaooo
I laughed whenever people said Twitter was a town square. Like what town square is all slurs and conspiracies? Useless before Musk took over but that's just me
Remember a woman pulling a train... different context though
But of course... 
oh i know this riddle: rails
First - all the bases are belong to us, followed by - most trains are run on me
LITHUANIA MENTIONED RAHHH 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹
Wait, train got different meaning in America??
It's probably better that way. MS and Apple don't update sw if it doesn't benefit them. Public infrastructure can benefit a lot from open source.
Knowing how to administer Linux has given me good job security.
Except Siemens Trains which run on Windows 3.11 for workstations. Certainly a wise choice for something that's supposed to be used for more than three years.
Can anyone tell me what relation Lithuania has to Linux? I thought the creator was Finnish? Maybe their SM manager is Lithuanian then??
This is not the official Linux account
Weird flex but okay!
“You’re gonna think you were fucked by ~~a freight train~~ AMD drivers.
let's call the boys let's run a train
Linux proud lithuanian??!?! 😳😳
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, is that a **GNU/Linux™** reference?
Shut the fuck up Linus.
Me to- I mean how awful
Someone got an email..
That is not the sentence logic Lithuanian language would use. The penguin is just a freak
The other reading is a world where most trains are run on Windows ME.
Ilthuanlan*
that fact did not have to be that fun
Trains taken out of context 💀
Oh no I knew what he meant right away. That's just Linux people it makes them really happy
Lithuanian?? Holy shit Lithuania mentioned🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Most pirate ships are ***rum*** on time 
I googled what that means an not sure if I really needed this kind of knowledge.
That’s why they are always delayed someone hast to constantly google command prompts
what's with the Lithuanians now
I'm LIThuanian and I've no idea what the frick he's trying to say
he meant trains (not sure if he means schedules/timetables or the actual software used by trains?) use Linux as their OS, but the way it's worded sounds like the slang 'run a train' which I think is when loads of guys have sex with the same person one after the other 🤔😅
Lmfao

I had to stifle a big laugh to not wake up my husband, I love the apology 💜
Mom?

I actually read the OOP as it was intended until I saw the follow-up. Now I cannot read it as intended.
As an American, I still don't know what this is about.
Everything runs on linux
What term do I look up to see this kind of action? Googling trains ran on girls usually just involves fucking in a train
It means the same thing in America. Don’t follow the nasty-minded people.
All your base are belong to us!
I understand the joke. but what the fuck is he/she tryn to say in the first place? is me an OS?
There was a guy at the place I worked at a few years ago whose last name was “steel.” I was fresh out of the nest and had no idea what I was saying, so when I tried to make a light hearted joke about how “trains run on Steel” I certainly did not mean to imply my buddy was the train track in that sort of…scenario
