After a PR fuck up this large I am disinclined to agree.

Interesting point. Perhaps if you click through the upvote button shouldn’t appear until 5 minutes later?

Yes but to be clear the folk that may make that decision may not be aware of that. I’ve been in that situation before myself.

Oh this is normal. People upvote the title, then comment, then read it if the comments aren’t agreeing with their preconception. Humans are a mess of a species.

Never seen any drama in the freebsd camp. It’s utterly boring. Which is how I like it.

To make an argument of this scale you have the burden of proof. There is no proof here past casual correlation. An analogy I see here is the scene from an old film where a woman walks behind a wooden screen and a goose walks out thus the wo

It’s a bit arrogant telling everyone that they’re wrong when you’re changing the entire purpose of a product. It’s dead. It was accurately described already in the press release and that killed it. If there is backtracking it will make it m

I guess that’d devalue my certifications. Time to fuck off and do something else which isn’t being commoditised!

Next step they’ll stop publishing the RPM spec files or change the license on them. Edit: why the downvotes.

IBM sure knows how to piss off its potential customers.

Exactly that

Correct. I had one. It sucked. But less than my XP machine. I have the spiritual successor, the M1 mini now.

my T440, T470 and T495s all do the same thing. Nightmare. I use a mac mini most of the time now though.

I've got one, a T495s, which is officially supported by Ubuntu and it still goes bananas occasionally.

The rose tinted lens of vintage computing strikes again. I too fell for this numerous times. In fact I actually went back to an Acorn RiscPC 600 for a bit once instead of a modern windows machine. It was what I considered to peak productivi

Developer productivity is inversely proportional to complaining. Listen to complaints carefully.

I don't know about that. My HD25's are 17 years old and it's plastic on plastic on them and they are as good as new. I mostly use bottom end Airpods though because they are more convenient and sound just as good!

If it does happen no one will use it. What will happen is Microsoft will introduce a shiny new Surface in a barrage of marketing which rips off most characteristics of the M1 Macbook. It will contain an SoC which is a vaguely rebranded off

I think the problem is actually that content has no value because it’s cheap to copy. It never did have hence why we had to come up with other parasitic models to make money out of it. One way was to stick a wall around it but because it’s

Boo hoo. Crocodile tears. I know this is probably the wrong audience here but I’m getting fed up with whining from companies who have dubious funding models based on trading something less honest and more invasive than money for gain. Opera

I'm still using classic vim. Should I move over?

Clearly the issue is it should suggest vi for emacs and vi for vi :)
