Short-sightedly.

Of course that’s how sanctions work… against nations. Linux isn’t a country, it’s not an American asset. They could have resisted. Linus chose not to.

Do they? They could have just isolated those commits as sanctioned and added a warning. Linux hates Russians as a Finn, so didn’t need much convincing to remove them.

I would be singing a different tune if our allies invading other countries at the moment were also sanctioned, but that’s not the case.

As it stands, let the individuals escape the nation state punishment. They didn’t start this war, and likely don’t support it.

Mindless Self Indulgence

A blue whale would be impressive.

Exactly. All the hype and excitement over a locked down arm ecosystem with evaporating battery life advantages. No thank you. Development efforts are better served elsewhere. I would prefer the Linux community ignore it rather than support it over RISC-V.

It’s almost like the whole customized apps to fit into the GTK framework concept creates too much added work and needs to be rethought.

I don’t understand why someone should choose any GTK variant when they’ll have to refactor and rewrite their application every few years.

Know what you want to buy before going into a store, stick to your guns. Unless you want to dilly dally, it saves time.

Organize your stuff, makes finding things much faster. Adam Savage had a good tip: Befor you put something away, pretend you’re looking for it and put it where your first thought was. Next time you look for it, it’s in a natural spot for you.

Not always good advice.

An exclusive relationship, by definition, minimizes your future options but opens up a subset which are better for many/most people.

Meh, sometimes you just know after seeing who’s out there. I wouldn’t recommend breaking off something good and risking not getting it back because of your insecurities.

After decades of user interfaces and internet access, we’re making things worse rather than better.

Someone at Microsoft realized that hardware will speed up, hiding the fact that the OS is getting bloated and riddled with code that doesn’t directly benefit the user.

The value Windows provides isn’t great enough to deal with this state any longer. In fact, my experience shows it’s slower and just as buggy.

We have technology available to improve experiences, let’s not mix it with profit incentives for once.

They refused to entertain offers. 1T dollars seems mighty, but TikTok is a multi-year if not multi-decade data collection hub. That data is on the youth of America and their trajectories.

That’s priceless to the power hungry. It’s not just money, it’s control.

Torn - Natalie I

Just hits the balls hard.

Sorry to break it to you, but everyone projects their own experience. A man’s experience is just as valid, even if you disagree with it.

If that were the case, the scientific method would not exist.

I create a projector and sensor in one lens to view the world in my image. I then grant my projectors the ability to run film reels I create. I keep the ability to punch holes to myself so that I don’t lose track of the reels I’ve made myself. I then allow my projectors to generate film off my original template, but they can’t make punched film. I then use attention and inattention to measure trustworthiness and use it to understand why parts of me misbehave when turned into projectors.

The xz backdoor hidden in precooked blobs would like a word with you.

It still might. Redox is a microkernel based around L4 architecture, but not formally verified.
