> I'm not talking about different things. There are a lot of side projects on Github to replace various parts of a Linux system, and various parts of systemd. They exist. What else…

> These kind of comments are really baffling to me. If they have no interest or investment whatsoever in A, then what are they supposed to do? Can you blame any distribution for no…

Gnome, systemd and its increasingly-tight integration with same, plus its eating everything in sight, wayland conveniently leaving everything up to the DE/WM (but gnome works, so w…

Red Hat would never participate. Their current (and for like the last decade or more) strategy seems to be to run toward various goals in convoluted and incompatible ways such that…

Every company's actual status page (and news feed) is on Twitter, no matter what else they say. I don't know where Twitter hosts their real status page. Probably Facebook. Notably,…

Isolationism's probably not a great idea, sure, and there might be room to argue that protectionism is typically bad policy for the US, but the argument that protectionism is bad f…

The cheap ones are all petroleum-based, and if you get an unscented one you can really tell. Gross. Cheap scented ones still smell of it, even. Beeswax smells nice, even unscented,…

This is similar to what happened with studio-owned movie theaters. The right solution is to outlaw exclusive distribution deals and production-company ownership of streaming platfo…

Ever read Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar? There’s a certain speech you might find enlightening if you think Trump was trying to cool things off with those tweets.

This is what open protocols were for, but those stopped being viable when trapping users to spy on them became more valuable than selling good services and software.

For three different “jobs”, though.

You'll find normal room lights obnoxiously bright and wonder what the hell we're thinking if you try exclusively candles or very, very dim handheld lights/lanterns after sundown fo…

I'm expecting the only thing that'll keep me on it in old age is VR chats with the grandkids or whatever. The rest of it's not worth the money, except that it's de facto required f…

Please tell me "keeb" isn't "keyboard". Clicks link Yes, it's keyboard, but occurs only in the title. Bad, but could be worse.

The rest all demonstrably eat battery like it's free on every other platform? IDK, maybe Edge doesn't, but FF and Chrome sure do. [EDIT] Let me put it this way: I see no reason to …

Not sure about the SAT, and maybe the test has changed since I took it, but the ACT was mostly a knowledge & skills test. Math: did you pay attention through at least high school t…

You can change browsers, just not browser engines. This might bother me if any other browser engines seemed to give a damn about battery life, but since they don't, it's justifiabl…

Having written for both platforms at the time, I don't know about 2010 but by around 2011 or 2012 it was sure as shit easier to program for than Android. By a long shot. And a bree…

This is why the pat answer of "capital is rewarded for taking risk, that justifies their pay" doesn't ring true to me. Your downside is... still being rich and never, ever having t…

I think you're considering a broader set of things a "corporation" than I am. Wikipedia: > A corporation is an organization—usually a group of people or a company—authorized by the…

Is Drone useful if you need to build anywhere other than Linux? Yeah Docker can run elsewhere, but it's still Linux. I'd love an excuse to leave Jenkins for self-hosted multi-platf…

Repulsion? Where do you get that idea? Corporations wholly creations of the state. They have no meaning or existence absent it. We shouldn't empower our government to grant the pri…

Lack of choice in tax regimen is entirely fine for corporations . They're creations of the state. We should bring them to heel, if they're finding ways to avoid what we're trying t…
