Any metric will become a target and then people will maximize that instead of whatever they were supposed to be doing. Goodhart’s law
Oof
That is why Microsoft spent a total of gazillion dollars to have its OS pre-installed on all PCs. We need more PCs with Linux pre-installed. This should be an antitrust issue but I am not knowledgeable enough to say how.
They are a very small subset of those people, and they are not a proportional representation of all types of people.
I agree. I also believe we should take care of that before we go granting them vast additional powers.
completely agreed
Shareholders do. They get a vote. The government is essentially a mutual fund you’re legally obligated to buy into.
yes but they vote to maximize profit not overall social benefit
I can’t really understand the tradition of never trusting the government in the US. The government is designed in a way that enables, even requires public oversight, public opinion. If that is not the case, you are not living in a democracy. Many Americans trust private initiatives, charity more than taxes and a working public system. People have no say in what corporations do. If people don’t trust the government the attitude should be towards fixing it and enabling trust, not to accept it as is. I am not judging, maybe a little bit but not really. I live in a middle eastern country. We really don’t trust the government but we keep working on steering it in the right direction. We are many times smaller than the US but we have minimum income, universal healthcare, unions are the norm, etc.
It actually looks great. I’m surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can’t make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍
Not sure about iron man but I can’t stand Robert Downey Jr.
Before Gaben, there was only vapour. He invented, nay, created steam.
Stop trying to make fetch happen!

open standards and interoperability should be the law.
I really couldn’t find a better way to describe how it feels to use gnome. I am used almost all tiling window managers through the years. I always got lost in configuring my setup. I know I didn’t have to, but there was almost another step of optimization that was available to me. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. I have been using gnome o arch for the past few years, a plank/dock extension, a system tray, and a clipboard manager. That’s it, there is nothing to fiddle with, to distract me. It is entirely personal. I just can’t stop myself from trying to optimize my desktop/workflow if there are still ways to optimize it. Before gnome I was using my WM/DE and then the applications necessary for my actual work. Now, the DE is “out of the way” and I just do what I actually have to do. But again, this is entirely personal.
not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.
unironically agree. if it is useful for the community someone will fork it. you are not forever a slave to your open source contribution.
that’s what I was trying to say.
touch file && chmod +x file
is good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.
Turkish military uses Pardus, a Turkish Linux distro, but I’m not sure to what extent.
