   I've got the MOVs like Jaggar... Sorry, couldn't resist a well-assembled pun.

   I recently watched 'The Godfather' and was struck by the scenes filmed in rural Italy. It appeared exactly as you've described. Even as I watched the film, I knew this way of life was long dead. 'She will make a good Ame

   You can observe that there is instability in every post-industrial society, when there are fewer manual jobs for the working class. When factories close the knock-on effects on households and local economies are devastating. I see it in eve

   Wouldn't it be possible to write Wayland in such a way that it is similar and familiar to Xorg, so porting Linux GUI applications is easy? Or is the API already familiar enough that this is already possible? Surely it's possible t

   Looks like a clean and sensible design. Reminiscent of classic desktop map programs.

   I recently set out to try a simpler window manager and custom desktop on Linux. This led me to discover Fluxbox. The sheer variety of themes for that WM is unfathomable. Enough to suit anyone for a lifetime. The go-to source for Fluxbox the

   This reminds me of the off-world greenhouses that grew vegetables in The Expanse. Science fiction and science fact compliment each other again.

   It's actually a paid endorsement from VeggieTales.

    As an avid Linux user, I can't help but agree with the core of your argument. Open is always better, especially for posterity. But the aspect of Flash that hasn't been fully replicated by HTML5/JS/whatever is the fully i

    There will always be unhinged people in the world, with a tendency to violence. Video games or not, these people will kill and harm others. It's a dark truth. Otherwise, we have to wonder how much Doom was played by Jack the Ripper or

    Of course! Linux is free to anyone, even Steve Ballmer if he has a change of heart. My comment was very much intended as tongue-in-cheek.

    I just imagined an alternate reality, where the kernel came packaged with its own deeply-integrated 'suggested' browser. Linux had become everything it set out to destroy.

    > The ease of OS modification was certainly a double-edged sword...how much of the instability of the OS was because of drivers and other OS mods is hard to say. I submit that this observation also applies to Windows 9x.

    I'm also holding hopes that something will rise from the ashes of the Servo codebase. It's hateful to see something with promise go to waste.

    Thankfully, there's always MobyGames ( http://www.mobygames.com ) - the IMDB of computer games. You can always rely on the enthusiasts when the company fails.

    You may see it that way, but the overall effect of this on humanity is bad (see https://voxeu.org/article/advertising-major-source-human-dis... ). From my experience, I don't enjoy relentless targeted pressure to g

    Honestly, this squares with personal experience. I've had long periods of anxiety, which I'd describe as perceiving outside things as greater threats than they are, excessive worry and overthinking and withdrawal from outside worl

    While I prefer a simple editor, in the instances when I'm forced to use an IDE, I'm glad that VIM keybindings are almost always available. E.g., vsvim works quite well in Visual Studio. If I clinch my eyes it's almost like be

    Andreas Kling has used it to develop an entire operating system (Kernel to DE), so it can't be that bad.

    I wonder which editor the Nano devs use. It would make for an ironic anecdote if any used Vim or Emacs. Not to say they couldn't edit their own source in their own editor, I'm sure it's quite up to the task. But I am curious

    It's not included with a default Void installation, either. It must be a charitable move to encourage greater use of Vim ;)

    I have the opposite problem from Vim novices. I genuinely cannot exit from Nano.

    Routers mostly. I think some set-top-boxes and DVRs also used it. Shame, it had quite the history from being in all those old SGI machines.
