I think their analysis is mistaken. I think NYT lawyers could successfully argue that virtual chat complies, at least enough that they'd get a slap on the wrist at worst. From the law linked in your article: (b) A business that makes a

Would this not count as "online"? Or is the law specific that a person not be in the loop?

I see the difference as being that boycotting is a means of protesting a specific policy or practice in the hopes that an organization changes. Cancel culture is wanting to punish a person (or virtue signal) for something in the past. Maybe

Yeah I'd love to see an update on this benchmark re: network syscall performance: http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/ . FreeBSD has very good results in some of those, but even then Linux was showing some truly impres

PCI pass thru, eh? That's pretty cool. I'll hand it to the BSD community (the community is another thing I love about BSD btw - attended MeetBSD a few years ago and it was such a fun crowd) - they create some killer compatibility

I'm a big fan of BSD and it's philosophy, but I think it's relative lack of adoption is now a vicious cycle and it's falling behind. It is better in some specialties, IMO: if I was setting up a NAS server, some serious f

I realize they're very smart and very thorough, but this sounds an awful lot like "I ran the test suite - if you can apply the patch in production it'll work".

They care, but not enough to slightly inconvenience themselves when shopping for a new contract. I have a lot of family that come to me for IT / device help and I make a big deal out of all these issues to them. I can't say I&#x27

My first thought was that companies that are selling complementary services (and that's really the difference between Debian and Ubuntu here) are obviously going to have mutually beneficial affiliate agreements. The vast majority of us

Canonical has had PR problems with privacy before: submitting desktop searches to external services by default, including Amazon results, etc. At the end of the day they're trying to monetize Linux and they seem less focused on traditi

And you'll notice it's immediately followed by ", but...". I agree this should be changed to the original headline.

Even though some of the API specifics change, the BSD sockets API has been widely copied. It's a pretty decent introduction to the concepts in general.

This "Beej" fellow is a legend. This is an example of very clear documentation that scales well with your level. When I was learning C/C++ as a teenager, I found the guides to be very accessible. They were recommended all th

Ah okay. I care mostly about Window Management shortcuts, and that Alt + opens the drop-down menus. I find most other shortcuts I use are application specific or what I thought were global conventions. KDE does have a section called "s

No. The Pop! OS UI is basically gnome with tiling. I wouldn't say it draws from either Windows or Mac OS, though I think Gnome takes cues from Mac OS. I wanted to like the tiling, but I always seemed to get lost after a few hours if I

Have you tried KDE? One of the reasons I like it is it's ability to remap every keybinding to what makes sense to you.

Yes! FreeBSD has great documentation. One of the great things about the kernel+userspace unity. When I worked on HBase they literally used the FreeBSD style sheet for their docs, and it was similarly good documentation.

This is exciting - I hope it gets momentum. I used to use BSD on my laptop and although it was a bit less convenient than Linux in terms of hardware support, etc. I really loved the philosophy. Some of the desktop-oriented distributions die

I don't think Senna had an unusually "speed at all costs" attitude. He was known for arguing that tracks enforce safe practices because racing drivers will inherently choose a faster route if it's less safe, therefore th

I agree it's unrealistic, but I think Stallman and many others like him would rather forego the benefits of a bluetooth remote than embrace the status quo. OpenBSD for instance, was recently discussed on here for dropping a Bluetooth s

There's a third possibility, and I think it's Stallman's ideal computing landscape: all users care deeply about the code running on their machines and they are competent in applying and vetting patches, building from source,

Depends what you're looking for. If you're used to Ubuntu you'll find Debian to be similar: just a less-polished, less-branded UI and maybe slightly older (perhaps more stable) packages. You might also like Fedora as a pretty

>> How do I run containers Agree on all your other comments, but BSD jails and Solaris zones were a thing long before Docker made it mainstream on Linux.

If an individual had no desire to ever retire and was able to pay all of their bills for the next 2 years with no further paychecks and no adjustments to their lifestyle, I'd call that a pretty deep level of financial stability. Especi

Natural selection doesn't "select" for anything except the survival and continuation of species. Everything else that it tends to favor is merely a correlation with that - so you have to expect a certain level of variation

In the best case, your CPU needn't really be involved beyond a call to set up mapped memory. It is (among other things) a common memory format, so you can be working with it in one framework, and then start working with it in another,

There's actually a lot of overlap between Hadoop and Arrow's origins - a lot of the projects that integrated early and the founding contributors had been in the larger Hadoop ecosystem. It's a very good sign IMO that you can

And being able to cite a legal reason when you're fired immediately after they learn of a disability doesn't necessarily give them a get-out-of-jail card. But it would vary from jurisdiction and the employment status here sounds c

You would probably find yourself asking similar questions a lot in OpenBSD land - they're very committed to stability and security even if it means forfeiting many modern features. As I say in another comment, wanting to run Go on Open
