Unfortunately, the majority of resources available to learn programming are made by professional software developers and they assume what people using their resources want to be professional software developers too. So they start teaching y

Does anyone know when companies will start to charge for the air we breath?

It's started. People have been warned.

As developers, I think we need to think about how we reach this situation where we rely so badly on 3rd party dependencies to do our jobs. There was a time when all we need as a framework like Django or Rails to write our code on top of it

The consequences of consolidation are not unexpected, quite contrary. Everybody knows it and companies desire it, because it means endless opportunities to extract every single penny from the market. But, for a variety of reasons, people de

What are these issues of X? Because everyone talks about the issues of X, but Gnome, KDE, Xfce and others run flawless on X, but these same desktops have problems when running on Wayland.

Yes. Others are doing the same, probably to take some control for themselves, but have a look on the recent conversation about GTK5 being Wayland-only. It is the same playbook they used to force Systemd adoption all over again. So, yes, the

It's difficult to say anything without context. What does it do? What is the motivation behind the rewrite?

People have been warning this for a decade and nobody listened. But I am shocked to know Lennart "Systemd" Poettering is working for Microsoft. To be fair with Microsoft, they are only following Red Hat's playbook. Red Hat ha

Bun won my heart because: - it uses Zig and not Rust - it uses JavaScriptCore and not V8 - it has built-in support for my favorite database: sqlite - it is all-in-one

Your hardware is good enough to run any Linux distribution out there. The question is what your use case is and what is your level of proficiency using Linux. Linux Mint, Elementary and Pop_OS provide good install experience, easy of usage,

If you already have a job and you don't want a new job neither on the short-term or long-term, you could: - choose Go because: - it is easy to learn - it is fun - it is productive - it has good performance - it has good maint

The feature I really miss from Unity is tap Alt and type for menu options. It was really useful when you didn't remember the menu option you want. Pretty innovative at the time.

As a company it made sense to develop their own desktop experience instead of relying on the default experience provided by Gnome, since the majority of developers in control of Gnome are Redhat employee or ex-employee or affiliated to Redh

I think it depends on your goals. Do you want a job in the short-term? Choose Go. Do you want a job in the long-term? Choose Rust.

They want force people to adopt Wayland no matter what. They have zero care about user's needs. Everybody knows Wayland is far from being a full replacement for X but they obviously don't care. It's really funny to see how hy

But no government took the decision to end companies that pollute. So if you want a car, you should pay more for a company, while companies are free to pollute how much they want.

They clearly are using their ToS to circumvent privacy protections and probably others are doing the same thing. No matter how many laws we have to protect our privacy against exploitation, companies will start using their ToS to avoid lega

Github uses its terms of service to circumvent licenses and avoid potential legal consequences. But if they clone repositories outside their services, they can't use its ToS to shield itself since the only thing applying here is the li

Move fast and break things. This is the mindset of JavaScript community. Unfortunately, this mindset is slowly infecting other communities.

Honestly, they can. It does not matter all discussions about trademark laws, intellectual property and other stuff. It's just blah blah blah. In a world ruled by money, who has the money makes the rules. The rules that defines who can

The same old story: Silicon Valley company abusing their market dominance and destroying real world businesses while legally shielding itself with a term of service. The lesson to take here is you should not use Shopify or any other Silicon

iOS is a closed platform owned by Apple so I think they can do whatever they want in their platform, including ban other browsers for whatever reason they want to. And this is not different from Google creeping their services in other brows

Our society is doomed. Why don't these people demand humanized working conditions and payment for warehouse workers?

by akagusu 4y ago
I think we must do it. We need to do it as individuals, as groups. We need to alert employers of the potential legal consequences. We need to educate developers to not use it.

This is a comment by Linus Torvalds from 2012 about Gnome: "That’s exactly the reverse of the gnome “we know better” mentality, and “We will force Corba/.NET down your throat whether you like it or not, and if you complain, you’re

The author makes a bold statement and it is a bit aggressive, but he is right about Gnome devs removing features people use when they think people shouldn't use. People complain about Gnome not because their mobile-like interface, but

People complain about Gnome devs removing features they don't like or don't use since at least Gnome 2, long before Gnome 3 and its mobile-like interface. So it is not about people using mobile touch screens or even about populari
