Sort of. Because a lot of what Musk was doing didn't make much sense at the time. Basically you needed a person who was already very successful and had a lot of clout and was willing to bet all that on a boondoggle (certainly not in hi

Wasn't AMD or even Intel the same sort of "startups"? Also what's so special about TSMC? I mean they were doing quite well in the 90s and early 2000s before falling back behind Intel before they caught up and surpassed i

SteamDeack is a much more open equivalent of Android/ChomeOS. Yes you can use it as a Linux "Desktop" but form the perspective of most people it's just there to run a single proprietary app while Linux is just an impleme

Steamdeck is a gaming console not a general purpose device from the perspective of most people (yes I know it's a standard PC and completely open but that's not something most people care about). Linux is more or less just an impl

Yes. I probably drifted too much from C (which this thread is about) in my head and was just thinking about "general" software development (whatever that means.. : D) I agree if you want to write software targeting GNU/Linux

But isn't housing extremely unaffordable in Taipei (and presumably rest of Taiwan)? Price per m2 is comparable to San Francisco or San Jose but median earnings are several times lower.

> You can learn to context-switch. Presumably experienced users know how to change shortcuts/profiles. But that's fine, such a design philosophy just means that Linux will never become appealing to non-advanced users.

by Wytwwww 2y ago
I don't agree. This isn't about different behaviours in Linux vs Mac/Windows but rather about Linux apps having different shortcuts for common basic operations in different apps. That's just poor UX.

I don't think anyone is questioning whether that's technically possible, just whether it's an appealing use case for the majority of it's target users.

Right, so if a new Linux user who uses Ctrl+C/V in all GUI apps finds that he needs to paste something into terminal that should be perfectly obvious for them? Or should that person feel confused and annoyed since they can't they

No, you can fix them, though. Of course if the developers of Linux/KDE/Gnome/etc. want to make their software unnecessarily confusing to new/less experienced users which would make inconsistent UX an intentional feature

Right.. except the whole "argument" falls apart if we consider liability insurance. You can't force other people to have an extra $30k "just in case".

You mean "Super/Meta + C" is the default for copy on Linux making the whole argument redundant? I don't think that's a default shortcut on Gnome or KDE....

That would be nice but it would put you at a significant disadvantage compared to authoritarian/totalitarian states which would certainly have very terrible consequences.
