He can still run those on a kernel that has a.out support; and he can run that on a VM instead of using dos box or any of the other more complicated alternatives. I mean, dropping a.out support is not a retroactive change.

I have been using vim since the late 90s, although the experience back then was much different. I don't think I really used plugins until around 2010 or so, and I was more into gvim until I moved to tmux + vim combo around 2016. So my

I don't agree, but it is true that some aggressive DNS RBL may include Digital Ocean, for example, just because [1]. The point is not that much that there are such blocking lists, the point is why admins use them. Surely that's bl

Does it matter in which language is a text editor written in? I mean, that's not a feature of the editor, is it? There may be consequences derived from that, but that's part of the features (e.g. uses a lot of memory, or it is s

I profoundly dislike all that "hater" rhetoric. Sure, there will always be trolls, but by tagging any dissenting opinion as "Ubuntu/Canonical haters" I feel like there's a lost opportunity to improve. You can&#

So what is your opinion on the proxy behaviour then? I know is not like knowing what Google thinks about this, but I'm curious about how something like what is described in the post is allowed to happen.
