But it isn't. Now people get to spread misinformation to Brazilians with no repercussions.

Well, Thorium developer stated he intends to support Mv2 past the 2025 deadline. Whether he'll make it, we'll see. It's a one man show, there was some drama involving it in the past, and there's the question of what's the point in maintaining Mv2 extensions support if you won't be able to install them from the store after they're cut off?

To the extent that a boss demanding sex in exchange for career advancement, I agree that makes them sex offenders. But those women still have a choice. They making the wrong choice doesn't mean they aren't the victim, but they still should be accountable for their choice.

Have you read past that screenshot of the code, though? It says the problem was not limited to Firefox, it seems Edge users reported problems as well. Anecdotally, I did experience that delay problem on Thorium this weekend as well. I have seen a variation of this problem almost a month ago, where sometimes the video would take a long time (like, over a minute, sometimes) to load, or often just not load at all. So I just chalked it up to Youtube having done something stupid on their end.

You have plenty of time to fall madly in love, get married, fall madly out of love, get divorced, and repeat.

As a 43yo, fuck did that hit hard. Well, except for the "repeat" part. I have a lot of issues to work through before I get to that, if ever.

Dominique Tipper in The Expanse (E: yeah, not a movie, but still an awesome experience all around)

I mean, not everyone in the community thinks much of her acting, but on Season 5 she puts out a performance that puts a lot of veteran actors to shame.

Yes, you are right, on all accounts. Pretty much all of cloud infrastructure is built on Linux, including Microsoft's Azure, except when you have apps deployed there that are based or dependent on legacy (.NET Framework and older stuff) or proprietary (AAD and stuff like that) Microsoft tech, but again, those are becoming more and more the exception rather than the rule. On-prem setups tend to be more mixed between Microsoft and "other" stacks, but Microsoft hasn't had the lead for a long time even there.

And you're absolutely right, Android runs on the Linux kernel; although the userspace is not pure GNU, the fact that Android runs on Linux is 100% relevant to the discussion since Linus is the lead maintainer and creator of the kernel.

The OC clearly has some bone to pick with Linus, I'm outta here.

Someone apparently doesn't know how Bill Gates actually got his start or how Apple started. "Money and power.". Bill Gates snuck into a library to learn about computers. Apple started with a group of people in a damn garage.

How one started is irrelevant to the discussion. A lot of big companies out there had humble beginnings. It's about what those guys turn into once they hit it big. And the thing is, Linus never really hit it big, not in the way that Jobs or Gates did, because he was always content to be the tech / architecture guy instead of moving up to more higher-level management roles, which is where the money tends to be.

For all their humble beginnings, Jobs and Gates were ruthless when they hit it big. Go read one of the biographies of Jobs - he was a notoriously difficult guy to work with, and was needlessly an asshole very often. Also remember that Apple wasn't just Jobs; at least half of its early success is due to Wozniak, who is still beloved by everyone to this day, because on top of being a brilliant hardware and software engineer, he isn't and wasn't a dick.

I'll cut some slack to Gates though - as ruthless as he was on his days as CEO, with his philanthropy on the past decade or so he has been at least trying to atone.

Apparently not good enough that Linus thought it was good enough to continue being an asshole. Pat on the back to him.

He didn't. Did you miss the part where I said he got therapy? He even went so far to apologize, which is more than you can say about most of those tone deaf, narcissistic sociopath CEO types.

Great? Ask enterprise companies and hospitals how secure and reasonable Linux seems for their business models.

I'm not even sure what's your point here. Sure Linux isn't applicable to all kinds of business or how they're built. How that invalidates what I said about the server market?

Yeah this one is a joke. Linux is far from ready for the mobile world at least for phones.

What? So you're completely ignoring that the largest mobile OS on the market is built on Linux?

Probably never. The dev seems intent on keep drinking the reddit kool-aid and push subscription to users. It's too bad, there is a gap for an app with the same polish for lemmy (although I have yet to try Sync)

If I understand correctly, the concern is not for the users on Meta's "Threads". It's the fact that the content you create on Mastodon or whatever fediverse part with which Meta federated would eventually reach users on Threads, and thus "you" (on the fediverse corner outside of Meta) are indirectly monetized.

To properly qualify how groundbreaking Elite was for the time, for those who don't know it: it was a space sim that simulated 8 galaxies with 256 star systems each, each system with a star, a planet, and a space station. All of that was wireframe-3D rendered, had a lot of complexities like different ship and enemy types, different playloops like trading, mining and combat, and it was one of the few games of that time that pioneered open-world gameplay.

This was initially released on the mid-80's for 8bit computers of the time, which had anything between 48Kb to 128Kb of RAM, and thus, the game binaries was also that small - they accomplished that by also being one of the few games of the time that pioneered procedurally generated content.

I think what he's getting at here is people asking him about building an alternative platform to Reddit - much like Lemmy, Kbin, Tildes, etc. are - as opposed to an app serving as the frontend for an existing alternative platform. I've seen poeple buzzing about that on some of those threads about Apollo on Reddit. Those people are so in denial, and there were so many of them, that I couldn't conjure to effort to point how ridiculous that idea is. Some people did, and were quickly shut down with the usual complaints (fediverse is confusing / doesn't work, etc.)
