The article describes “Platonic” co-parenting in which the parents have sex with each other repeatedly on an ongoing basis, conceive a child, bear it to term, and parent together. I don’t know what’s “platonic” here. Sounds like regular as

In these cases, forks were deeply interconnected with project abandonment X11 gave us XFree86, because changes to the X386 server weren't being merged. There wasn't much of an alternative to forking. Xorg was forked from XFree86

It's worth noting this is not the first time that X has become abandonware. It's not even the second time. This is the third time X development has been abandoned. And yet, millions of us use X11 every day. Don't hold your

If they do something to Chrome, Google no longer has a reason to write checks to Mozilla. Those fat checks are written in part to keep anti-trust regulators off their backs. A constrained Chrome be good for Mozilla.org, as an open source e

Mozilla's principal source of revenue is a fat check from Google every month. Anti-trust is a mixed blessing for Mozilla.org, at best, and a huge negative for Mozilla.com.

The final digs about Verizon Fios in Hell's Kitchen are pretty fucking rich, if you ask me. There's no need for "telephone poles." That is complete nonsense, not least because Verizon has the monopoly on underground co

Snap, Flatpack, and Docker applications almost universally use dynamic linking. They just use some combination of rpath fields and virtual filesystems to make sure the dynamic linker only inspects the paths mandated by the application autho

Firefox. Chromium. KDE. Gnome-shell. Libreoffice. Static linking is an atavism. Application authors don't spend time thinking about it any more. The main reason static linking persisted as A Thing into the 1990s was that fossilize

Those problems were brought up as objections the very minute that Flatpak and Snappy arrived. OP has just provided concrete examples of those problems appearing in the real, existing public repos for Flatpak. This is not surprising. It has

Golang doesn't really support static binaries. This may be confusing, since it compiles-in all golang dependencies, but by default, all output is dynamic, and it's quite difficult to get static binaries out of it at all. The gola

Firefox has a hard dependency on GTK, so it is literally unbuildable as a static binary.

Static linking is dead. Most applications cannot be built statically, at all. Solaris-style RPath is still an option on Linux, but it is rarely used. As far as “security,” dynamic linking is not an attempt to contain applications, but rath

Americans are highly mobile. About 15% of the population moves every year. Their core "finding" is nonsense. Additionally, this survey is terrible. 2,300 people nationwide is plenty to collect national aggregate data, but it
