The article is over 2 years old and Alfonso Dastis isn't the current foreign minister. In any event Scottish Independence isn't going to happen anytime soon with Boris Johnson shutting down any possibility of an Indy…

The SNP were saying that Scotland could go independent on their Oil price not long ago. The SNP will say anything essentially to virtue signal against Westminster. This appears to be another case of that, Holyrood…
That is more true of old x86 hardware and older micro-computers (Amigas, Ataris etc). The SGI machines are difficult to get hold of in the UK to begin with plus they are as other said short supply. There is one Octane…
It is a different story in the UK. I would probably just get one if I was in the US.
This reply is total buzzword salad. > I've watched with great interest over time how Microsoft has evolved from closed source to open source. IMHO, Much of their motivation derives from huge demand from the community to…
Been wanting one of these machines for years, but they are sooo pricey it is insane. Mainline Linux support will be good, but I tbh I would be running IRIX as intended.
Most of the CO2 is produced in China and India so I doubt the conversation in the USA will be even relevant.
I would like to know Why I should contribute to Open Source when Microsoft is a massive company that has plenty of resources to fix its own bugs. Sure if you are at Uni, Just starting out or something that not likely to…
I am from the UK. But the last movie I watched in the Cinema was in 2014. It is expensive and unnecessary. I bought in the new year a 60inch 4k HDR TV for less than £400 from toshiba. Why would you bother when you can…
I've been doing .NET dev for the last decade. I have no idea how to get the whole browser part of the toolchain working with Visual Studio. I just don't bother. The client side debugging is done with a browser that is…
That is interesting. I assumed that innerHTML must have been wrong because textContent works in all the browsers I have tried it on whereas innerHTML doesn't work. A cursory search textContent vs innerHTML seemed to…
This is a shame in some ways. Internet explorer was always very strict on how it works. Anything before 8 was a challenge due to some atrocious bugs. This had it problems but it really taught you not to write sloppy CSS…

So why is it almost every-time I here it mentioned in regards to this topic it is by those who act pious and pompous as a way of shutting down legitimate criticism?
Toxicity seems to be a code word for "the plebs are saying things that I don't approve of".

It like you didn't read my comment. If I could count on customers or Valve just fixing it with a wrapper for me, why bother making a Linux version at all? You wouldn't.

That isn't true. Windows does provide something that other platforms don't. The APIs and program compatibility are supported forever in Windows. I can run the original Quake and DOOM on Windows 10 without any problems.…

I was asking her why she thought that. Not what other people thought.
