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 why don’t you just use gnome?). Ubuntu…
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 they're always "ahead" of everyone…
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, Facebook hasn't updated theirs, though.
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 for all states in the modern economy, or…
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, but is really expensive (if you're…
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 platforms (yes, that means Netflix would have…
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 for a while (think, medium-bright night…
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 for work and (for the kids) school these…
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 expect the FF or Chrome engines 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 trig? Reading: how literate are you?…
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 justifiable for the reason of preventing people…
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 breeze to maintain an actively-developed…
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 to work if you don't want to? Hot damn,…

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-platform jobs, but nothing else seems to…
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 privileges of incorporation unless it's in…
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 to get them to do. Don't like it, don't…
