Nothing better than boring technology. Unfortunately, boring technology is rare these days.

That weird guy that everybody loves to hate (RMS) has been talking about this for at least 3 decades, but instead of listen to him, people prefer to ignore him and pretend Microsoft is a "friend" of open-source. Why do people keep

Unfortunately nobody remembers that Red Hat has so much influence over the Linux stack that they practically own it.

Why big corps like Ford are allowed to sell unsafe products to people?

If my small business was accused from underpaying women, the prosecutors would probably do the best they could to the judge give my business the worst sentence ever, so my business could serve as an example to other businesses to not do the

Of course they are. Why do you think they change the UI in the first place? Amazon is well known for the use of dark patterns. The best thing you can do is stay way from them and if you couldn't, inform yourself the best way you can an

It doesn't matter if Firefox boosts privacy protections if it breaks popular websites. Regular users do not know how the web works and when some website breaks because enhanced privacy protections, users think it is a Firefox problem a

I really don't understand why people keep pushing Kubernetes to developers. Every time someone talks about infrastructure software to developers, the answer is always the same, from top to bottom and up, from devs to executives: develo

It was. Now it is a full featured and lightweight DE. I've switched from Gnome after 15 years to Plasma 5, and I've never been so happy. Contrary to Gnome, Plasma is lightweight, works out of the box without 3rd party extensions,

The transition from KDE 3 to 4 was a completely disaster, but KDE devs learnt from it. They made a successful transition from KDE 4 to 5, and are committed to users needs, so we can expect a smoothly transition to Plasma 6. Now, compare it

Although it makes its way to Steam Deck, the Linux community favors Gnome and other DEs. If you search for videos and blog posts, Plasma is usually a second class citizen.

Plasma is the best modern desktop environment for Linux and yet people barely talk about it. It is complete, mature and works out-of-the-box. For users it has sane defaults but provides virtually endless customization and contrary to other

It really is bizarre, specially because it doesn't make sense in terms of money. They prefer to spend dozens of hours seeking, testing and tweaking free/gratis products (in some cases their hour worth more than $100/h), but t

Sorry, but developers don't care about freedom, they just want things that are free == gratis == zero cost.

Linux is not Unix and it is not developed to be one.

We won nothing, we lose everything. Linux and other opensource software were just tools big corps used to build the stack they use to control users today. There is no freedom anymore, because developers didn't care about it and I doubt

The problem with Linux desktop is that there is no such thing as Linux desktop, because Linux is not an operating system, it is just a kernel. Unfortunately, instead of treat each Linux distribution as a different operating system, people t

It won't happen, ever. The actual model of cities is optimized for profit, so all parts involved in building cities can take as much as money they can. Things will only change when the alternatives to the actual model exceed the actual

Today we can clearly see that as anti-competitive and anti-consumer acquisition, but at time, I guarantee you the FTC saw the agreement as business as usual, since it does not know how to regulate tech companies even today.

Glad to see that someone remembered FreeHand. It was much better than Ilustrator, this is why Adobe killed it.

My path: Sublime -> Atom -> Vim -> Emacs -> Emacs -> Emacs -> Emacs
443.
by akagusu 4y ago
Just buy a license for Sublime Text or any intelliJ IDE. If you use your text editor professionally, they more than worth the investment. And if you want to build a text editor for your own needs, Emacs and Neovim are your friends.
444.
by akagusu 4y ago
Emacs is up and running for the last 40 years and it will be for the next 40. Definitely is a software you can bet on.

In our economic system, economic growth happens through population growth. You cannot keep the actual rate of consumerism if population decline and corporations live in a fantasy world of unlimited growth, so they cannot keep growing if les

Docker is not dead, despite the attempts of Red Hat (and Google) to kill it. The market changed and Docker changed to stay relevant. Just that.

Nobody is free to install AOSP unless you want to lose your warranty.

It could not be immoral to follow the open core model but it is absolutely immoral to trick users to think that the binary they are downloading is open source when in fact is proprietary.

There is no way to have consensus on the OS because there isn't a Linux OS, Linux is just a kernel. Each Linux distribution is a different OS based on the same kernel. And if you look very close to each community, built around each dis

These kind of applications you want to build require access to xorg api, dbus and many others. Your best options here are gtk or qt. If you don't want to use c/vala for gtk or c++ for qt, you can use python which have bindings for
