??? Java was originally Sun Microsystems. However - if Java was Oracle to begin with (and as successful in the mid-90s) then might have done some marketing for the Java+Oracle mix. Some people (ie Managers) if they decide on using Microsoft

My last comment, which you referenced... focused not just on C# or .NET.. but the focus of "you need Microsoft" in general.. this includes Windows, SQL Server, etc. Again, my comment is focusing on someone on the outside looking i

I think the "confusing" aspect with C#, being part of the Microsoft eco-system, is that there are many smaller companies (and startups) that may have concern paying for such tools. To the uneducated, C# is linked to Visual Studio.

Always facinated by ancient egypt... though never been there. One day I will.. and this museum looks like a place I will truly appreciate looking around in.

I'll admit that I might misunderstand the point but surely there is a gray area of what is considered "stolen" and what is "preserved" Humans or groups can be responsible for many foolish acts. Stealing is one of th

Seems we live in a "cool" or "flashy" era or rewriting everything in Rust. Dont get me wrong, despite not taking time to learn Rust at this time, I am aware that memory safety is the thing at this time. Yes... some softw

I understand your views. However, I still stand by the idea of having options. Many of us in developed Countries are likely to remain on our IPhones or Androids, but there is still a chance for FSF to shine in other areas. Also, as someone

I have been a software developer "for many years" and I have been using Linux full-time since 2007. I rarely have issues with Linux, and some of those systems also had nVidia Graphics cards. One time I had an issue was my wireless

^ This I am more into Blender than I am FreeCAD, but it has improved a lot over the years. There are some good (modern) tutorials on FreeCAD.. there are a couple of gotchas to look out for.

My daughter was given a pretty nice laptop by her grandparents a few years ago. It came with Windows 10. I installed things like Gimp, Blender, FreeCAD... just to open her eyes on what she can do. She has used in sparingly. Recently, she co

After just submitting my recent post --- I do like your suggestion. Maybe 2 phones are the way forward. Maybe a PAYG phone which stays at home on my network for particular needs like banking. Then a standard phone which is essentially a GNU

I keep my eye on Linux phones from time-to-time. By "linux" -- I guess I mean using a phone that runs a valid linux distribution that gives me freedom of control as well as software freedom. I know people have a love/hate wit

"We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own" When it comes to my views, this relates to a recent Nintendo Switch 2 post. At the end of the day, it is up to the purchaser to know if the product they are b

If people want to spend £400 on a console, as well as £40-£100 on Nintendo games is their choice. I am sure there are many people who purchased a Switch 2 on launch day and now regret it, likely due to Nintendo's practices. If anything

With the behaviour Nintendo has been 'in the last few years' - I no longer will purchase Nintendo consoles. We purchased a Switch and the kids have enjoyed many games on it. After reading other comments on here, I am surprised my

I dont think I've come across this one. I have experimented with other text-based diagrams - but this certainly looks interesting. While I am always forced (at workplace) to use a GUI-based diagram like Visio... I see more merit to thi
