So even with the latest Fedora they have yet to figure out network storage mounting.

And this is supposed to be the backbone of CoreOS...

Indeed. Apple didn't really turn "anti-DRM" until they got into trouble with market regulators...

The whole thing about gun regulations over there is to regulate without actually regulating, because they have this constitutional amendment that everyone is so hot and bothered about.

What things like this mill does is reveal that the emperor has no clothes. A fact that everyone with a bit of interest in the subject knew, but kept mum about to maintain appearance.

Sounds about right. More and more long running software is facing a changing of the guards, and the new ones approach software development as if it is website devops (you know the bottom has been reached when a ever changing site is being talked about as an "app").

I'm tempted to blame Google and Facebook for this, especially the likes of Zuckerberg's "move fast and break things" slogan.

Costing just as many dollars...

> USB C was something Apple gave the USB folks

Huh?!

There are times i wonder if WW2 was facists vs facists about who was to run the circus.

Only because they are exporting like gangbusters.

Domestically the economy is at a virtual standstill.

In a sense Germany is damn close to Japan economically. If exports fail for either nation, its going to get messy.

> On the other side, half the countries in the world have fewer employment protections than America.

How many of those nations are within the proverbial West, though?

Meh, eternal growth is a economist hail mary anyways.

It is a statistical fluke born of the industrial revolution. It simply can't go on forever, as it runs into hard thermodynamic limits.

The way i see it, when you employ someone you hold their life in your hands. With that has to come some responsibilities.

Be wary of corporations in general, because they will put profits ahead of anything.

After reading a interview with Randall Munroe (XKCD) i find myself wondering if what is needed is a computer engineering course alongside existing computer science courses.

"And there's another distinction: There's coding, and then there is computer science. The best explanation I've ever heard of that is that coding is writing programs, and computer science is the study of computers only in the sense that astronomy is the study of telescopes. I think that's a really concise summation, because computer science isn't the study of computers, it's the study of what you can do with a computer and what stuff you can explore with a computer."

Best i recall was someone claimed their BIOS had been infected with something that would use speakers and mic to get around being airgapped from any net connection.

Not sure if it was ever verified by any security experts or not.

Yeah, Consolekit was dead. This in large part to the same people that are so heavily pushing systemd...
