Answering fire with fire usually just results in the forest burning down.

Keyword extraction, AI summarization. Those phrases might get you started.

Isn’t capitalism the embodyment of a few bad actors versus masses of consumers, though?

From the book:

We are not a Linux clone, or POSIX-compliant, nor are we crazy scientists, who wish to redesign everything. Generally, we stick to well-tested and proven correct designs. If it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

That almost sounds sane! Refreshing to see a project which doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel.

I’m answering the quote you got from the article:

"[…] I don’t like making political statements. We are here to play football, and if we can’t even do that because we are making a statement and just saying normal things, like ‘no to discrimination’ or ‘no to racism’, and you cannot say that, then hey, then what?”

What is “normal” for you might be political for others. Harsh reality finally coming into contact with super rich football players?

Snap uses a server while flatpak just runs regular binaries in a sandboxed environment.

which webmail?

for six months

But will they feel happier a year later?

The power of open source! For many softwares, it’s not as easy to download older versions, I suppose.

Regarding that dialog: is there a bug report already? Maybe the devs don’t even know?

He he. Harder.

Then what really is ADHD and autism? There’s clearly people who are severely affected by symptoms described by these labels. Where do these symptoms come from?

Which programs and why did you fail?

I don’t have to buy Windows and deal with Microsoft licensing. Just had a one hour meeting discussing the differences between Microsoft 365 and Office 365.

There’s also Octave which I found quite nice especially in the visualisation department. For data science Jupyter Notebook is even better.

the init part of systemd was nice, if only it could be isolated… but it can’t

Which other “parts” of systemd are needed if you only needed the systemd init “part”?

minimal software once corrected to a reasonable extent becomes completely bug free. So softwares which update actually are inferior.

Please show me an example of a perfect software which does not have a single bug.

okay, then why is Signal “the best” as stated in the comment above mine? The shittiest argument is still better than none.

Linux is known for breaking compatibility with old games

Which ones exactly? I recently played the DOOM 3 Linux version and it worked after swapping out LibGL. If you ship Linux game with the Steam or a flatpak runtime they’ll probably run in 10 years still. Whereas you might already run into problems updating Windows 10 to 11…

That’ll be fun if we find out the same may be true for MERS, SARS and COVID…
