Yes. It did. It's just another subsystem over the kernel. Kernel did not care about POSIX. The POSIX subsystem is yet another abstraction layer, not too different from CygWin on MinGW for the use case. Since it was limited, it would no

This is an old solution to a problem that does not exist. Yes, in that case the file system can be a key-value store. It would eliminate the need for a tree structure. But the tree structure has a meaning: it adds context. The directories a

This may very well be a good example of strategic ambiguity. They grant themselves a broad area for future, not a limiting direction. Since nothing is presented precisely, the following reports, articles, announcements can be shaped the way

By public services, I meant the public services provided by the state. For instance, health insurance, family doctor application, taxes, etc. Banks require your ID whether it's smart or not. But it's not for payment purposes but f

Not citizenship but residency, hence e-residency[1]. It actually means you can start a business here and pay your taxes here but you can be anywhere else in the world. [1] https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/

The application allows Latvian ID card to be used in the Settings tab. So I learnt that it's applicable to your country too. I recently moved to Tallinn and just became a resident. The thing is they are capable of doing lots of things.

There are a few issues. First, Estonia is a small country and it's relatively easier. Second, there's no legacy solution to comply with when a new feature is developed. US has both federal and local government systems, and many ag

Well, in Estonia, they have a different approach. 1. If you are a citizen or a resident, you get an ID card to use for every public service. It's just a smart card with a government PKI. 2. The public services provide an email account

Well, I am not the one who should talk about the goals since I am not a ReactOS developer. But I can tell that NT 8.2 do not exist. You probably meant NT 6.2, on which WDDM took over the business. I assume it's because of the backward

Oh, you mean these themes, Mizu and Lunar: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/09/react-0-4-12-released-do... They look like flat UI but not exactly a Windows 8 or 10 way. Well, at least they are optional.

Windows still has the same NT core, as you most probably know already. Yet, to be able compatible with NT 10, the ReactOS devs need to use the NT 5.2 > 6.0 > 6.1 > 6.2 > 6.3 > 10 path. Without 5.2, it's not possible and

By no means I did support the use of another protocol. All I focused on was that the IPv6 could not be a huge success over IPv4. For the previous 26 years, pros weren't enough to eliminate the cons. At least the overall usage ratio can

I believe that the comment is not a personal opinion but a reflection of the acceptance rate of IPv6. If most of the web still uses IPv4 and not using IPv6 is still defended with the "people against new things" arguments, it shows
