Comment WTF (Score 1) 237

From TFS:

They further estimate that GRBs prevent complex life like that on Earth in 90% of the galaxies.

So, life possible on 10% of the galaxies means that those are none at all? What about our own one? This smells of clickbait.

Comment Drivers (Score 5, Interesting) 61

Does anyone know whether the drivers for all those wonderful devices will be open source? Will they have open APIs at least, or will I have to install the app of the vendor instead, where some "extra features" cost money? Will I give every device connected to my smartphone basically root access, or access to a system bus which can be used to read and write arbitrary data to RAM?

Comment Re:X or Wayland? (Score 4, Informative) 84

KDE on wayland is not complete yet. There has been work for kwin, but one thing is sure: if you want to use it on wayland, you will need, as usual, systemd. Of course, the author points out that this does not imply you will also need to install a web server and a ntp daemon, and that the dependency is on the API not on the program itself, but then show me an alternative implementation i can use. You know, systemd brings nice new APIs and so on, but then I read about the next thing systemd broke. Its in the man page of the shutdown command that this should work.
