You have to authenticate to github just to install a public package with maven? What a joke.
Driver issues alone disqualify Ubuntu versus Windows (where are all the three-monitor setups and touchscreen laptops?). So does the complete lack of desktop background options. And having to hold down `Alt` to make the…
Yes, Windows Home is awful, but I believe I got a Windows 10 Pro key for ten dollars. I think I used the same key on two different computers. No Candy Crush, slightly better control over the system. It would be nice to…

All this time I was under the impression that OSS design was heavily influenced by a subculture involving hacking and ruthlessly rejecting any unnecessary features in 'officially' supported versions. I'm sure that the…
From each according to his ability?
People choose proprietary software because proprietary software doesn't make you memorize and type things like "systemctl suspend" for the most basic of tasks such as putting your computer to sleep. They don't want to…
Savings rates in China are astronomical in comparison. RIP
Seems unfair that someone making 11x what another person makes used to pay 25x as much as them in taxes but now pays 40x instead (i.e. 550k vs 50k)
Not a cut? Based on what data? Or is this a bait-and-switch where anything less than $2k is peanuts (so it's not really a cut)? I understand that people who own homes in high-tax states are missing out because of the…
