Do we really want that?

As long as competition and choice continues to be the mantra of the Linux desktop, then yes, I'd love to see more and more people using it.

We have it pretty good right now. I would actually say we’re living in a golden age of desktop Linux: there’s constant innovation, good support, you get to do pretty much everything you need, while flying under the radar.

Very true.

Unwanted attention from Microsoft, who I bet are not going to be doing nice things once they start getting paranoid about it.

I mean, Ballmer called Linux a cancer pretty early on, so that ship sailed a long time ago.

I really don’t think that large companies like Adobe will care about Linux

Once they start losing large sums of money due to people switching and finding viable alternatives, they certainly will care. Right now Adobe has one main thing going for them -- apathy and muscle memory of the aging demographic of their users. That will eventually change.

the least we get to interact with them the better.

Absolutely. I used to be an Adobe fan, back when Kevin Lynch was a part of it, and I was a Flex developer. Then Jobs wrote his thing about Flash, and a year later, not a month after Jobs's death, Adobe dumps Flex -- and literally overnight my position changed from Flex to HTML5 and Java.

Well I guess we now know whether we have kept the republic as Franklin warned. The answer is no, we have just lost it.

And look at that, AOC turns 35 in October (minimum age for presidency)! If only half of this country wouldn’t see her rise to such a stage as some affront to their white misogynistic identity, we could actually see real progress take shape.

But yeah, Biden should not have ran and should have let someone younger and more cognitively astute in-the-moment take the stage. He’s probably a good person and probably a good family patriarch, but he is past the point of needing to step down.

I mean, we do have recourse — Congress — who have the power of impeachment. The problem is that they are spineless and won’t get rid of the three lying pieces of shit that Trump got confirmed.

As a PHP developer

I’m so, so sorry.

The installer is garbage in my opinion. But aside from that, the distro is probably fine.

I’m one of those users :)

And the moment a Republican administration is back, it’ll be gone again. This needs to be codified in law, not flip flopping every few years.

Take a look at Overseerr.

You’re welcome.

That is an enormous amount of words to say, “Elon Musk is a piece of shit.” I suppose the context helps. But as the events unfolded in real time in 2022, it was clear how much of a piece of shit he is, was, and always has been.

I long for the day his money is gone and he’s peddling his bullshit to anyone who will listen at the homeless shelter in which he resides. Wishful thinking, of course, since there are still millions of mindless stooges who think he’s Iron Man.

Linus has always struck me as someone who thinks he knows what he's talking about, acts like he does, and can sell it. When, in fact, he's nothing but veneer on top of a moron. This, to me, proves it. I'm so glad I never got caught up in his cult of personality.

So where’s Lunduke’s articles on the numerous right-wing shady organizations? I haven’t listened to or read anything by this hack in many years now because of the fact that he has a clear agenda motivated by his own political bullshit.

Maybe find an article that is written by someone reputable and post that to numerous communities.
