Nah. The comments in this thread are just fan-fiction of people that are unhappy with the actual story.

That's the story; he proposed new software and his employer liked the idea and paid him to develop that idea. End of story. People getting mad because they are "forced" to use a free software system? That's the fan-ficti

No one is forced to use it - you can always switch distro. I also use hyperbole as a rhetoric instrument but in text seldom works.

Linux audio was never working fine. It was a mess of broken drivers and incompatible implementations. I cannot fathom how people are able to repress the memory of how bad Linux audio was before pulseaudio.

Oh boy. At least we can now put the myth of the "apolitical" Supreme Court at rest and start thinking about how to reform it. The Supreme Court has been overreaching for some time now, maybe it's time to limit its powers? Ter

Every project needs to have a vision and if your patches don't fit into that vision, they won't get accepted. That's how FOSS software works.

You're not. I really like Gnome and how it gets out of my way. Most of the time complaints about Gnome boil down to "It's not behaving the way I think it should" and that - to me - is not a valid criticism. People love t

To me, you break down very neatly why "self-made" is a strange moniker. A lot of people are hard-working, persistent, full of ideas and determination. But they are not being called "self-made", except if they have that

There are no self-made millionaires. I'm from a poor family and got pretty wealthy. Yet I'm under no illusion that this was "self-made". No one of us is "self-made". We all depend on a society around us that gi

There's more than enough evidence that macroscopic biological entities use processes that depend on qm effects. See for example photosynthesis or enzymatic reactions. As I understand it, the wave collapse is wholly probabilistic and th
