  "account": "Stockholm's digital signage station proudly displays a large example of GRUB, not the delectable meatballs for which a Swedish furniture maker is known, but rather the bootloader familiar to Linux enthusiasts. GNU GRUB, short for Grand Unified Bootloader, is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software. Users have options such as UEFI firmware and Dank Material Shell, presented in an attractive desktop. Pressing 'e' allows users to edit commands, while 'c' drops them into the command line. While this massive GRUB display may seem excessive for a few seconds of ad display to Stockholm commuters, it serves as a testament to the enduring presence of Linux in the open-source world.",
  "summary": "No, this is not GRUB of the meatball variety",
