Windows gaming finally falling to desktop Linux, in terms of tech and mindshare among enthusiasts, proves to me that given a sufficiently large timescale open solutions tend to always win against a proprietary ones. Companies just can'

That case is why I don't think Google will actually roll this out in the US (and the EU for different reasons). But I was wrong about them even ever attempting something like this so who knows.

If you're going so far as to install Lineage, couldn't you take the small step further and download alternate browsers to change the user agent? (Unless the default Lineage browser can do this already.) I run a Google'd OS fo

That's fine as long as they unshackle the rules around municipal internet. Get out of our way and we'll build a way better system. Instead it's rules for thee and not for shitty massive telecoms. Hypocrisy is too light a word

Nadella is no Gates and Ballmer wasn't either. There is only one Bill Gates and I doubt history will repeat itself. It's a fun what if, I guess.

As vibe coding becomes more commonplace you'll see these historical safeguards erode. That is the danger IMO. You're right, saying you got something off SO would get you laughed out of programming circles back in the day. We shoul

Maybe you can tell me, since I only noticed around 2007-2008. Did Sourceforge always suck balls?

I knew this would be the next direct comment. If the comment was about a broken foot the response would be "Maybe people with broken feet shouldn't be driving. <smug face>" What do you think handicap spots are for?

That could be an accessibility issue for people with neck problems. I can see why general legislation put it at the front with everything else.

It's weird the guy going through the divorce seemed to deliberately avoid casting aspersions, but the parent commenter had to throw in his two cents anyways.

I mean, why did we go to Mars without any intention of colonizing it? The Moon? Exploration is what humans do. If Alpha Centauri is only 5 years away, you can bet we're sending people there no matter what. Permanent colonization only b

We can leave it pretty easily. :p Only took Voyager 1 about 40 years. If ~1.0C is the fastest man can travel, that's still pretty good. Alpha Centauri is in reach (less than five light-years).

Opening a window works for a very small livable part of the Earth. Try opening a window as Pharaoh... yeah, I'd rather have AC. And consistent heat in the winter.
