One issue, is they have an App for every platform, and thus is distributed through .. less than auditable .. means.

I'd wonder if there weren't some sort of agitprop with Linux virtualisation, in published articles in the future... (Long-time subscriber, gonna renew my subscription and tune in and find out just what the PIA to the LWN is gonna

Not just the same code, but in many cases, the same developers! So there is a vested interest in making things match as closely as possible - it sells hardware, after all!

I concur! As someone who has spent, probably, close to a quarter of a million bucks on synth/audio hardware over the decades, I'm extremely keen on VCV Rack because it lets me design my "perfect" Eurorack setup withou

Hi - there are tons of great VCV patches available here: https://patchstorage.com/platform/vcv-rack A couple in there might qualify for your "full stack" requirement - or are at least pretty close. I'd b

Yeah, you can easily avoid having to make an account, if you just download and compile the plugins yourself. The account just makes it easier for those of us who don't want to fuss with all the compiling and copying-into-the-right-pla

For every single one of your points, I have a counter-example that is positive to Ubuntu. Seriously! So, its really neither here nor there, in my opinion. For the last two years I've found Ubuntu Studio a superlative OS to be running

I have been a Debian user forever, but my current go-to for "recommending Linux to friends" is Ubuntu Studio. Latest release pretty much rocks, everything works smoothly out of the box, and the system is set up and ready for multi

Seriously un-true. Just this weekend I set up a friends old, aging laptop with a fresh Ubuntu Studio install, and .. everything just works. Video playback, drivers for everything. Seriously! Even multi-screen (i.e. projector) extensions

I've been using Linux since the day Linus dropped it on us, and all I can say is: you are what you eat. Hotel and home food is equally awesome and undeniably potentially un-healthy. Cook your own food, eat well.

I remember a time when the only way to play video games on my computer was, if I programmed them myself. Like, there literally wasn't any other way .. the system I'd chosen to hang my chops on (Oric-1/Atmos) wasn't that

So you are saying the event horizon for police brutality is closer than that of the citizens willingness to move the goalpost for how violent things should/could/can be? Yeah, the point is, we are really, really beyond the point w

I think there are plenty of societies which would not have responded to this incident with violent force, and would have checked themselves before they wrecked themselves as a consequence of normal, functioning, day-to-day job responsibilit

Yeah, who cares about some dumb list? The point is why can't we put any - and all/other - of these languages in the Excel runloop by now? You say Python, I say Lua, someone else says Go.. seems to me that all of the above oughta

At what point does the average citizen look at "SWAT death as an option for what could happen to me today" and think, 'well .. this is okay'? I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but there has to be real moment of res

Pro-customer would be: 1. Measure the battery, see that it is not optimal. 2. Tell the user: "your system has been slowed down due to non-optimal battery performance. Please replace the battery as soon as possible." 3. Let the us

GPD Pocket fits the bill, although it has a keyboard (but also multi-touch touchscreen) .. runs Ubuntu though, so support shouldn't be a hassle, and its great to write apps for this thing with a full-blown Linux. https://w

Not incorrect at all. Its a perfectly reasonable function of the operating system to tell the user that their battery is end-of-life and it should be replaced. What is "incorrect" is all the justification for this unacceptable, a

I think the outrage is justified, for one particular reason: none of this would have happened if Apple hadn't devolved the feature: user-replaceable batteries. It is Apples' arrogance that painted them into this corner, and nothin

They're going to have to suffer some way, before they'll change their attitude. And they've got a few billions of dollars worth of buffer between them, and suffering, so .. you may indeed be right. Lets see.

I've been a Linux user since the day Linus posted it to the minix-list. I too remember Yggdrasil. ;) We've come a long, long way.

I honestly feel that Lua would be a better fit, since the Lua table maps pretty nicely to Excel cells... but I'm sure there's some reason that it would unsuitable?

I recently got myself a GPD Pocket, which is a great little laptop with many of the same ethos as Apples' MacBook product line .. unibody, great screen. Interesting keyboard. (Takes some getting used to.) Well, I blew away Windows and
