It's slow and you depend on the wind blowing.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn't switch to petroleum for the fun of it. Environmental issues put aside it's a pretty great source of energy.

Yeah, but everyone could see that as soon as they released it.

It doesn't matter how it's implemented, it could have been done as an app from day one.

But they made it a device instead because it makes it easy to raise funds and to get journalists to talk about it. As simple as that.

Well there is a reason we stopped using those.

It's the natural evolution of SMS. And SMS does what no messaging app does, it lets me send a text message to any mobile number without having to wonder whether the other party has installed the same app as me.

When I make phone calls, it's between me, the person I'm calling and our carriers. I want it to be the same for text messages.

He's working for Microsoft now but it's very recent, he developed systemd while working at RedHat.

I don't even know of he's still working on it. There are a lot of things to be said about systemd and Lennart but the link to Microsoft is irrelevant.

What's wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

I don't think Google pays significantly less in other US cities.

Besides, the kind of people who has the right experience to be hired by Google isn't cheap.

Unfortunately cost of life in Zurich is much higher than Seattle!

You get that working for Google in Bay Area if you're senior, no matter the language.

Those guys were participating in Python itself, maintaining the Python tooling for the whole company, served as a help desk for everything Python... Yeah I'm pretty sure they had a big salary.

It's not your little "glue libraries together" Python coding.

Cybertruck, and shitting on his customers on Twitter.

Most Tesla buyers are urban left wing people, not rural redneck. Shit on "the libs" and you're shitting on your customer base.

More likely running on servers

The title is super confusing, it looks like Kubernetes is part of Red Hat

I don't think Arch is more used than Ubuntu, unless maybe if you count all the Ubuntu flavors separately

I know it sucks to have to discard some manufacturers because of their poor Linux support but that's where we are.

I prefer to pick manufacturers that support Linux than having to go back to Windows.

To be honest it has always been this way. Especially when we were talking about "Free Software", and open source was in part a way that it was free as in freedom, not free as in doesn't cost anything.

Of course the term open source didn't change anything, because if you look at the definition of open source, you're allowed to share it so obviously you'll be able to get a copy for free.

And uesst what, not having to pay is such a big difference that's what people remember.

I mean if you want to live off your work, then of course you're a business.

Or if you want to get money without all the fundraising hassle, get a salaried job.

Basically you want to work in open source on whatever you want, not have to listen to users, not have to find funds, and still be paid for it?

The problem with this approach is that you might be cutting off your kids from their friends.

Smartphone messaging apps are the way kids communicate nowadays, and if your kid is not in the group chat he/she is isolated.

Stop using "crypto" as a synonym for Blockchain. Crypto means cryptography and it's used in the communication between your browser and websites.

The problem is those family sets the standard for everyone.

In middle school it started from poor family who can't afford other activities than handing down their old smartphone, then the percentage grew to the point not giving a smartphone to your kid means he's isolated from the group.

It is very well produced but there is very little actual content. He kept showing the same clips and saying the same thing over and over.

Bottom line is "in Steam Deck reviews, media is claiming Linux is complex without any proof or example." You don't need 5 full minutes to say that.
