   My employer uses Windows on all workstations. How is this related to my comment?

   Rephrased less incorrectly: A 5-day-old project is advertised on a quite popular website but still only supports one niche operating system.

   This would be just another use case for SCCS, actually.

    Forum platforms have either been dead for twenty years or they’ll never die. Admittedly, the days of “everyone runs their own phpBB” are long gone (basically, Facebook killed them), but no single social network can replace structured, threa

    Everyone knows that. :-p In fact, Corel finally asks for feedback for WordPerfect explicitly, so I imagine that they finally noticed what a gem they acquired. Quattro Pro is still a mess, but WordPerfect remains to be the most amazing WYSIW

    To be fair, IBM still has them. But IBM doesn’t care about AIX much anymore either.

    Which I prefer to use myself, but it was born as “like NeXT” (and it still is); so, just another “like an actually successful desktop”.

    At least, the assumption that “nothing” was sent back is wrong. I agree that the BSD license allows to take the code and run away with it, but you don’t have to. In a way, that makes BSD more free than the GPL.

    And now, Solaris has, in fact, died, other projects have left ‘Orrible before it was too late. It’s all over and gone because Oracle bought it and does not care. (One could debate whether keeping Java alive was a good thing.)

    Oracle bought Sun because they wanted MySQL. To me, it looks like they noticed everything else in their portfolio only after they bought it. “Oops. We accidentally bought a CPU design, a complete enterprise OS, a virtual machine, an Office

    GitHub is toxic though, it’s focused on social justice these days. Meritocracy is dying and everyone rejoices, probably because they can’t bring merits. Has GitHub stopped violating our licenses already? http://www.mirbsd.org&#x2

    It AT&T wouldn’t have been such a PITA in the late 80s, Linux would not exist. BSD became “free” one year too late, sadly.
