Just off the top of my head, they had hired a registered sex offender (sexual battery of a child) and didn’t warn any other employees about it. It didn’t come to light until he defaced another open source project’s wiki. The normal annoyances seem minor by comparison to that which are snap and (was) unity desktop, but unity hasn’t been a thing for a while.

3% and growing. Be sure to remember the publishers that catered to Linux in the transition and those that cast us aside.
No, I trust in the collective wisdom of the masses to generally make the best decisions.
I’m firmly of the opinion that government regulations create monopolies. Before all the car safety and fuel efficiency regulations there were many car manufacturers in the US. Then as more regulations were added over time, we were down to just 3 manufacturers and they all made shitboxes in the 80s and 90s that didn’t last and nobody liked and gave rise to foreign manufacturers coming in and eating the big 3’s lunch.
My point is that the big 3 were the only ones that could afford those regulations and were also the ones to lobby the government to pass those regulations to drive their competitors out or force mergers. Advancements in safety and fuel efficiency would have happened anyway. This is the case where advertising can be actually helpful by showing off their products advancement in safety and efficiency to drive their sales. Volvo giving away their patent for seatbelts is another example of a way way to get goodwill and generate sales from that goodwill while keeping competition healthy.
With no government, there would be no need to vote. I’m sick and tired of every election being tHe MosT iMPorTaNt eLecTiOn oF OuR liFeTiME. I’d be fine with the absolute bare minimum of government if it meant the people we elect would not have the power to abuse in the first place.
I’d say the far left libertarian is anarcho-communist (the true voluntary communism) and far right is anarcho-capitalist.
The right to be fucking stupid and do without or to do it yourself shouldn’t be denied. It’s why I self host stuff. I also have the right to be fucking stupid and not backup any of my systems, but I do my backups myself. Though if I was in a position to have a better fire control situation than my local solution, you damn right I wouldn’t want to pay for the inferior service. The same goes for any other utility or public service.
The whole idea of libertarianism is to take the power away from government and abolish it so that the people can be left the fuck alone. The government is just another monopoly in my view especially in the area of currency and violence.
I’m still leery after coming over from a TrueNAS app deployment of NC that crashed and I was never able to get back running. Docker AIO has been good so far, but NC is the reason I validate backups.
Most of the time in meetings I think, “this should’ve been an email…”

7 was the last good iteration of windows imho being that it wasn’t loaded up with a bunch of telemetry being sent to Microsoft like 10 and 11 and didn’t have the terrible UI stuff like 8 and 11.
2000 was marketed as business and server only, like NT before it. On the IT side of things, 2000 was rock solid.
I’m saying that the pricing scheme Nintendo has for the S2 ecosystem is not conducive to pushing volume. This is evident to my other comment from talking to my local game store. Console demand is high, while games, accesories and controllers are not. If the average consumer’s S2 library goes over 10 games average for the lifetime of the console, I’ll be surprised unless pricing changes. The people who have purchased a S2 are holding back on other purchases that usually accompany that purchase. The people who haven’t yet purchased and who will not purchase are likely aware of the prices as well. My rural local TV station ran 2 stories on price increases. Even if not all games are $80 each, the preconception is there for quite a few people that all S2 games are $80 each no matter if you’ve purchased a console or not.
Do you think parents or casuals know that, or do you think that they only know of the TV news reports of the console and game price increases? The biggest story revolving around the Switch 2 before launch was the price increases.
Hopefully this moves people to view kernel level anti-cheat as malicious and as nefarious as other malware.
