Assuming the author uses their own software, disabling the ability to hear about problems with it before you trip over it themselves is counterproductive. The minority of users wou…

I installed it: no add-ons, they are coming "late 2020" supposedly. I think it's good to consolidate the branding but this is a half-finished preview replacing nightly, a step back…

Android is a bit of a siren... since there are many devices on current hardware working great, it looks like it should be possible to be the starting point for a lovely FOSS soluti…

It is... underneath all that shiny logical digital it's analogue all the way down in any real implementation.

The problem isn't that they're somehow oblivious to the various problems... the problem seems to be from this guy's articles that they don't have money and manpower to tackle them.…

That's not really solveable. Their focus has been okay... the foss os stack, the gpu driver the apps... even if they fail other projects can pick these up. It's just very difficult…

Fast buses operate at some multiple of a reference clock wired up to both sides, it's often 1/2 or 1/8th of the actual data rate which each side arrives at by feeding the reference…

That email says how the author doesn't like rms or his various writings, then switches to an unrelated drama about how the author fell out with a major contributor and there's some…

I have a cheap dedicated server with outgoing Postfix mail forwarding with sasl auth, nsd for the domains, a few web services over tls. Git server via gitolite + git-daemon. Mailma…

> In this study, we estimated a prevalence of EI of ~1/3652 in individuals of European ancestry born in the UK between 1938 and 1967. This is enough to explain the contents of Arnd…

Because in 2019 msft finds itself making big $$$ from renting servers running Linux and associated FOSS stack.

I skipped the rest after his trying to equate concluding you're not going to get accepted to a particular conference with 'ego'. Having self-respect and deciding not to keep useles…

"problematic person" eh... He's clearly a freethinker, and we have all gotten a lot of advantages from his courage doing his thing and making his vision for FOSS a reality. Now he'…

It's the Gnome webKit browser Epiphany (aka Gnome web). I'd prefer firefox but I don't have any real beef with it. Except on the dev kit the scrolling is more or less unusable. It …

What did you do to get them working? I flashed the latest image and no sign of them, even with a valid SIM.

I paid for a "dev kit"... it's not like I have unreasonable expectations. I went back to check it to figure out if I should buy an actual phone... I kept my money in my pocket. I c…

Wish them all the best, but I tried the latest firmwate image on my dev kit last week and although there's plenty of progress, many things are not there, at least on that image + p…

These large rich tech companies are really responsive to 'compliance' with the letter and spirit of laws that otherwise might cause severe losses. Look at, eg, gpdr, and google sud…

Yes... it's not just missing, it doesn't fit with this guy marketing his license, so it was excluded.

If he was though, it'd have various implications such as it not being difficult to prove he had access to his own private keys. I can imagine you might be the guy and not want to p…

It's maybe the latency to bring the whole cache line over.

s/principal/principle/g If they stop people making money from it, it's not open source any more.

It's acceptable because enough people are going to accept it. Spend a bit of time using a FOSS stack and stop creating anything new on the legacy proprietary stuff, it will solve i…

Important code needs love, it needs to be improved, made more robust, have security issues handled, consolidated if it starts to bloat, to be cleaned and kept legible even for whit…

Agree with the rest... every other solution is FOSS. A closed proprietary tool has a big mountain to climb. > Every good programmer loves to learn a new language. Er... no. I am st…
