The big picture isn't that different in Europe. Most EU countries are also oligarchies, just with a lot more bloody histories and national traumas. The social safety net is kept to the level of remembrance of those traumas. Once people

You can mount raw VHDX files even raw normal bare metal drives in WSL2, that's true. However, Linux needs to understand the FS inside.

If you are building natively, yes. However the original comment is about Dev Containers which runs under WSL2. If you open a native Windows folder in VSCode and activate the Dev Container, it will use the special drvfs mounts that communica

No, on Windows it is very quick too. On WSL2 compiling Rust programs are almost as fast as Linux on bare metal. However the files need to live inside the Linux filesystem. Sharing with Windows drives actually compiles slower than native Win

Yes, that's the part that Americans miss and the previous commenter missed. Charlie Brown is still optimistic. To dig the English comedy you need to accept that you are or the protagonist is a failure. Your or their life will never sig

A crisis prevents people from earning money. No money means nobody buys anything. Nobody buys anything means no company can now sell stuff, so no revenue. Companies start closing down, so there are even more people who cannot earn money. Th

That would cause huge big and small tech clashes.

Why do you need VMs or containers? Windows's architecture allows much granular control of applications, so it should be possible to limit what the applications can access to a great extent already. Unlike Linux the system ABI is stable

At the dayjob we have lots of sporadic problems with USB drivers of Linux in our fleet of embedded devices (RPi). I had a lot of problems with USB-C and Thunderbolt docks in last 5 years. If USB doesn't get enough eyes to not crash&#x2

Average PC user doesn't even know what an OS is. All they know is clicking certain icons. Newer GUIs are designed to be anti-intellectual. It has started to gain speed with iPhones and has been consistently worse. What you remove/

Oh man. That would be awesome. However they are already struggling to catch up with Vista-era APIs.

I don't know about you but I am happy with most of the stuff that Microsoft still ships with Windows userspace (surprisingly) and kernel. Win32, stable driver APIs (I can still run Win11 on my old Nvidia GPU laptop which Linux doesn&#x

You are not going to change somebody's opinion if they submit to Twitter discourse. Not even getting screwed personally would change their opinion. Hard right wingers at any time in history learn in only one way.

Why not? If it is a small shop, Word has all the features both simple and intermediate ones (like putting shadows on images or removing background). So a 2-5 person businesses can handle their digital needs at very low cost. The alternative

With bank key generators yes you are correct. With Yubikey and Nitrokey, their logic is standardized. With Yubikey you trust that their implementation is good just like Windows or Mac users trust their OS to implement cryptographic algorith

Speculating a cabal of authoritarians planning to change the world order is strictly in tinfoil hat territory. It is much more boring than that. Democracy is an unstable way of ruling societies and generating value out of people. Keeping it

For purely data, sure, that works. I have actually done it for multiple projects but for industrial purposes. It is slower than what a phone can achieve with an integrated baseband and SoC but would be good enough For VoLTE, it is possible

Things start to break apart when you have dependencies that adopt newer standards or use broader features. There is only so much you can do unless you would like to reimplement libraries like SKIA, doctest, Qt6 or any modern game engine. It

I think believing any for-profit business would have any morality is the problem. Especially thanks to the post-80s business conjuncture upheld by the relatively democratic governments. It is all about diminishing responsibilities while inc

How much does Librem 5 cost? Are they able to deliver reasonably up-to-date set of features that general population care? Can you still buy them? Will they deliver in a reasonable amount of time? Will they be able to stay afloat? Can they m

Those actually exist. Yubikeys, Nitrokeys (complete FOSS FW) or bank-approved code generators (For Germany these exist: https://www.reiner-sct.com/tan-generatoren/ ) are basically that. They provide independent assessme

If Microsoft didn't kill it, lack of YouTube and other Google services would. That was the primary difference. With iPhone you had access to Google-owned stuff, Google never allowed other platforms like Symbian/MeeGo/Windows

I don't think the usual distros care about the desktop experience as holistically as a long-term consumer company that Valve is. Otherwise one would expect Linux distros would be much better than what they were even 10 years ago.

Um, this is exactly what happened in the previous wars. Even modern ones. Auto plants are full of general purpose robots. They can make military stuff with some relatively low-cost changes.
