Some people just want their name in the contributor list, whether it's for ego, to build a portfolio, etc. I think that's what it comes down to. Many projects, especially high profile ones, have to deal with low effort contributio

Really cool product. How do you plan to monetize it? You guys need some marketing help. There’s a lot of potential here, but you don’t do a good job of selling it. Tell me what problems I’m going to be able to solve or what headaches it wil

Why should Red Hat be expected to contribute to Gentoo? A distro is funded by its own users. What distro directly contributes to another distro if it’s not a derivative or something? Red Hat primarily contributes code to the kernel and vari

That’s the wrong way to look at it. Instead, look at how much does land upstream. Linux moves at an incredible pace. Edit: BTW the figure I cited are contributors to mainline.

It’s not exactly obscure. It’s Arch with a nice installer and binaries with compiler optimizations for the latest hardware. It’s not a crazy choice if you have very new hardware. It feels exactly like Arch because it is.

Someone has to pay for it because it’s expensive to develop. There’s a ton of money in Linux just like there is in proprietary operating systems. There are like 4000-5000 kernel contributors and most of them are doing this work on some comp

Law firms are notoriously behind in tech. I’ve seen some shit. A small firm running on the owner’s personal Dropbox account with client matter files stored alongside his porn collection, ancient, unsupported software, unpatched systems, bas

It often comes down to not using the right software and training issues. They have to use Acrobat, which has a redaction tool. This is expensive so some places cheap out on other tools that don’t have a real redaction feature. They highligh

This is great. I've been checking on it periodically. I'm using the Framework 13 Ryzen AI 300 and the Framework Desktop so not quite there yet. Interested in taking FreeBSD for a spin when the support is there.

The anti-AI people think they are in the majority. They could be, but I suspect that's not the case. I would be surprised if many in the anti-AI crowd could even point to the specific features of the devices and software they use daily

You can disable all that stuff. We used to have email clients, newsgroup clients, HTML editors, etc. built into our browsers. It used to be about creating a suite of tools to meet all your needs on the web. Since then, all that stuff just m

I hear you. I've been through it too. I'm not necessarily doubting there are fake job postings. Just asking if there's any credible evidence besides our anecdotal accounts. Is it possible it's largely caused by shitty AT

I've heard this from other people. Is there any evidence of it though?

How is that a realistic estimate? It's more likely their revenue would go to zero than increase $150M.

To be fair, shopping at Amazon is nearly the same as shopping at some Chinese company. They bring in Chinese products by the boatload, warehouse them here and offer 2 day shipping. That's virtually their entire retail business and valu

Yes, because that's a pragmatic and realistic solution.

If other brands suffer from this, they would also be bad quality.

I hope this signals a move away from Liquid Glass. It's an absolutely awful design. Android has enough of its own problems that I'm not in a rush to switch, but I'm really not happy at all with this new design direction Apple

What does testing some other brand have to do with anything? If I put 5 of the exact same TV’s next to each other and they all look different, they are objectively bad quality. Maybe someone else makes something better or worse, but the one

I don’t know how Samsung has been getting away with it for so long. They have this stellar reputation as a premium brand when they are more akin to Roku. Their software experience is among the worst in the industry. Their hardware isn’t as

Flags are a terrible way to indicate language. At best, they are unclear. At worst, they can be offensive. Assuming you are a US company catering to non-English speakers in the US, which flag would you use for Spanish? Which flags would you

Linux was dealing with SCO just a few years later. There was also a period where Microsoft was out to destroy Linux.

You’re looking at it with the perspective of someone who understands the language the site defaults to. Most non-native speakers have a hard time finding the link and they leave.
