Yes, you're right. My mistake was talking about better/worse governments, while we don't have to choose at all. I should rephrase it as: is our government good? I'm sure nobody can say it is, whichever government it may

Well, I'm more concerned about my platform being subject to the control of my own government. Because I don't care very much about foreign governments given I happen to be a western citizen that has nothing to do with that countri

by severino 6y ago
Yes, there is. However, you should not be worried. I mean, as a western citizen, I prefer my data to be in the hands of a government which has nothing to do with me, instead of my own government. That's what this is all about. Trump wa

But do we have evidence that privately owned airlines have a smaller record of accidents and incidents than those not?

All of .net is open source? So you can now run any winforms or wpf app in the operating system of your choice? That's great.

So it's quantity v. quality. As others said, don't pretend to make people believe you have 1.800 repos worth of useful software. EA may have only 27, but at least it's something you may benefit from even if you're not a

Yes, for the technical reasons alone, I'd be switching to AMD. And I guess a lot has changed in 15 years, sure, but as a Linux user, comments reporting issues like these is what worries me. Compared to the mostly hassle-free Intel expe

All my computers were Intel based except for one. It was an Athlon64 X2 from ~2006 and I also felt something was wrong when running Linux. Random crashes happened quite often, I never got to know the cause. Performance was not amazing eithe

Can you please elaborate a bit more on this "now being maintained and advanced with the latest versions of Ubuntu"? I mean, is it really different from the Unity version you can still find and install from the 20.04 official packa
402.
by severino 6y ago
I heard Ubuntu 20.04 still shipped with Unity as a package, but I suppose you can't get it just installing it. After quite some time using 14.04, I miss Unity. In fact, I always liked it, despite all the criticism it got. Compared to G

Yes, but even if they won't call it ZoL anymore, it's not ZFS either, right? ZFS itself is a closed source product by Oracle which doesn't share the same codebase.

This has always been like that. You can download the current version JRE, either from java.com or https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk... , where you can get the binaries just by a

With "porting" I guess he doesn't mean replacing one codebase with another one, but creating another client in a different language. In fact, he states The objective of the port was to keep it as close as possible to Java co

But why would you want to move away from an ecosystem with a great IDE, type safety, speed and limits that prevent yourself from shooting yourself in your foot?

He said "no big corporations behind". Also, it's not fully open, as you said.

And then, if this second voting yields a different result, shouldn't they hold a third referendum afterwards? And maybe a few more, as you can always say the last one was not the genuine one.

Why exactly do you consider it an old technology? The language is evolving the same way others do, with improvements and additions. In fact it recently got a shorter release cycle with new versions every six months.

If that's true, maybe we should stop relying so much on a single company like RedHat. Maybe we need to stop making so many distributions, and instead focus on the tools everybody use.

by severino 8y ago
It is, but it's also the init system of some Ubuntu versions still supported, so you can be running upstart on a modern, supported distribution.

by severino 8y ago
That's right, but we've plenty of "plumbing" software for the Linux ecosystem whithout funding companies behind, and they get regular contributions. The same should happen with the init system. Of course, it's diffe

Yes, it's 14.04. I tried 18.04 a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't really like the new GNOME interface. For me, Unity was (is) a great DE. I know other things improved too, but I'm not really enthusiastic about them either. F

Now talking seriously, even if IBM stopped funding the project, it wouldn't be such a disaster. First of all, it's open source. A new mantainer could take over the project (for free) so the distributions can keep using it. But eve

No, it was just a joke, you know... but in fact I've checked and I'm already running upstart right now, as part of my Ubuntu LTS system. So really no need to "go back" :P
