Boring. 1999 called, they want their good, old Linux rant back. Seriously, I have heard every sentence of that before. Ten times and I have argued against all of it just as many times. Respect to everyone who still does but I have come to the conlusion that it's just waste of time. Whenever I'm hearing these meticulous lists of complaints I know they're not written by anyone who looks for solutions but just loves to complain and tell other people how stupid they are. That's a lot more satisfying than feeling technically incompetent. You could just restart your system and be a happy Microslave ever after. There's no need to bring down reasonable people who have kernels to compile and cryptic configuration files to edit on theiir green on black Tectronix terminals. Hahaha. Ha. Ha.
This isn’t the US’ war, why would Trump be making any demands?
Because he sees a chance to profit. His war or not, Trump wants his cut. Or else. He's got a right on his cut because he's the president. The best president ever. Everybody knows that.
You're not calling out anyone here. That has happened elsewhere. You're nothing but gossiping about it. You're not the defenders of anything but spiteful, ugly people.
I miss the days when the OS community found -often painful- ways to deal with excentric or even toxic and erratic developers. That definitely had more class than conformist mobs celebrating each character assassination of somebody disagreeing. Not that I'd support any anti-vax bullshit or bigotry, I just dislike mobs of holier-than-thous. Because they aren't holy or as "good" as they think they are. IMO they're just the sort of people waiting for a reason to get their torches and pitchforks. I don't think that's any better, morally, or less intolerant than having unhinged opinions.
Not even in the days of the cold war there was remotely enough bunker capacity for everyone. What for anyway? Want to spend the next 100 or 1000 years in a subterranean hole? Good luck with that. Waste of money and resources but probably just the pipe dreams of some beaurocrat in a mostlly irrelevant institution.
As a design engineer you don't have CAD software that can predict shading? It's a pretty trivial function, actually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.
People certainly enjoy to learn how things work, even on the console. They don't enjoy working around rocks a hostile OS throws in their way to line Microshit's pockets. Because it is a lost battle, knowing your workaround will only work for so long until Microsoft will find a better way to sabotage you on your own computer. You need to be completely insane to enjoy this shitl. And a complete asshole to comment based on assumptions and allegations like this in an arrogant tone that tries to hide the hollow incompetence that's behind it.
Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they're even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they're massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners' interests are involved. I've kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I'll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I'm suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.
Tsss... Firefox, NoScript, Ublock origin and Tracker control (via f-droid.org). Also actively cursing trackers' employees, their wives, children, houses and pets using tradited ancient Roman ban curses. (Yes, I am speaking Latin. And I do have a black cat.)
