@nafonsopt The Linux distros have to be the biggest issue. Everyone wants to be their own special flower and have their own “right way” to do the same thing. Whoever unites the distros will be god, an insufferable and obnoxious god.

For anybody saying "Just use Linux", you need to realise that Linux is worse than Windows. Windows has all the bloat, and while you can have Linux without any of that you still don't have tools like Remedybg, RAD Debugger and Super Luminal. Once you have such tools, then Linux is a suitable app development environment. But _it is still trash_ because of the whole Linux model of you needing to compile everything. The fact that you cannot run an app built using a newer version of glibc is an insane decision. I shouldn't have to upgrade my whole machine in order to run something built on a newer version. I shouldn't be worried that an upgrade will break my machine. I shouldn't be forced to compile things from scratch to work on my machine. I shouldn't be forced to install N packages, I just want self contained binaries I can just download and run. I shouldn't be forced to develop with an old distro to have "max glibc compatibility". I shouldn't have to worry about X11 / Wayland / Window Managers. I shouldn't have to worry about asking the user to select a folder, display a dialog or show notifications. Linux is such a huge waste of potential, if they got their shit together they would completely obliterate Windows. I first got into Linux in 2000, and even back then there was this "it will take over Windows any time now!". It's been _26 years_! The same way I'd pay quite a lot for Windows without any bloat, I'd be willing to pay for a distro that gives me all this.

Anybody who thinks that it is ok for telemetry to use 100% of your CPU should be fired immediately.

🚨 TURN OUT THE LIGHTS - New York has introduced a bill in Albany that would FORCE ALL residents to TURN OFF their outdoor lights at 11 PM or face FINES of $250-$500+ EACH TIME! The "New York State Dark Skies Protection Act" is a bill aimed at "reducing light pollution, conserving energy, protecting wildlife, and preserving views of the night sky." The law would require property owners of all kinds, (single family homes, multi-family homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, etc) to shut OFF their outdoor lights from 11 PM until sunrise. Leave it up to New York to IGNORE blatant problems like CRIME, BUDGET DEFICITS, and HOMELESSNESS surrounding us, yet FORCE it's LAW-ABIDING residents to comply to their USELESS and DRACONIAN Lighting mandates, OR ELSE! Keep Fighting 🇺🇸

Hey @Adobe. 1.14GB just to *read a PDF*? Your Adobe Reader is now officially bloatware. We don't want "podcast summaries of your docs" we just want to read, print and maybe annotate. Please make this insanity STOP

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@LundukeJournal I think that is a fair move, but, it does violate the GPL. Source: #gpl-forbids-restrictions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">media.pivx.org/linux-licensin…

@BrianRoemmele It will cost about the same. You are paying for a brand name first, then a product.

@Itsfoss I mean...PornHub did it, so the technology definitely exists. I don't see why not; play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I'll be interested to see what the normies make of it when it hits MS Windows and MacOS.

So it begins. ArchLinux 32 project has restricted access to Brazilian users. This is due to recently implemented Brazil law that enforces age verification at the operating system level. But this is more of a workaround, if I can even call that, than a solution. More and more US states are proposing age verification laws at OS level. What then? Will Linux distros start restricting their web access in those states as well?

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.
