No one disagrees with him on his thesis. It's just that the way he presented it was extremely funny.

Of course the ramifications hit me, just like everyone else. Why do you think I get upset about the news?. The question is whether I should accept those negative ramifications or spend energy protesting against them. I wouldn't care ab

I've never really understood how one is supposed to use RSS. Do authors include the whole article in the RSS article "body" or only a glimpse? I think I've seen both things and don't know what to do. Are readers exp

Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu, but it has a more Windows-like (and IMO, saner) desktop environment.

I used to disable swap because it supposedly reduced the life span of SSDs, but I don't care about that anymore — when it dies, it dies.

Last time I tried it, flat didn't work correctly when using a touchpad, only when using a mouse. Touchpad flat profile was flat up to a certain velocity, but when you exceeded that it accelerated a lot. Flat profile on a physical mouse

I would like to know how many people still use the web in comparison to how many people use the Internet. My guess would be that normal people are moving to using specific mobile apps for everything they need.

Uncharted is a "don't think, enjoy" kind of game, and a pretty good one at that.

I can't feel upset about Valve's success. I think their existence has done a net good to the industry, the games are cheap, the system works well and they support Linux better than any other big name in the creative industry, the

Sometimes I pay for them, when I consider that the product is really good and I want to support the author, and sometimes I download them for free.

Not OP, but I'm against all forms of intellectual "property". So yeah, I'm not against "stealing" GPL code, from a legal standpoint. I know I'm an extremist though(statistically speaking), even in this for

> Things look differently if the binaries were built on a central & trusted platform or by trusted packers. How so? I believe the same principle applies for centralized distribution. How do I know the packer didn't change the co

it's not fundamentally different. The practical difference is that the ecosystem of Linux applications is composed almost entirely of open source software. Consequently, installing something you downloaded from the web is much less dan

I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I like the concept of AppImage much more than Snap and Flatpak. I fully embrace the idea of decentralized distribution of applications, as opposed to the way package managers work (central repository mantained by the distro) I believe the o

I'm curious about the proportion of people who started visiting HN because of ycombinator vs those who came just because someone told them it had good discussions. I'm of the latter group.

Wow, this seems important. Maybe post a link to a press article leaving the body of the submission empty so that it doesn't go to /ask and it goes to /news instead. Remember to not editorialize the title. Submit the actual ti

As a quasi-fanatic Linux user, I can say that the one thing I envy from Windows is installing things the Windows way. Half of the time, PPAs don't work. Snaps and Flatpaks are a step forward, but they still require a central server for
