Hoping I never have to use Wayland. But I expect the only GUI app I use, Firefox, will force Wayland upon us in a year or 2. Hoping I am wrong. If that does happen, I might as well go to a MAC or Windows /s since Linux will reach its goal, being a windows clone. Hoping the other browsers stick with X11.

To me, Wayland is a power grab by Red Hat similar to systemd. But IBM being IBM, I can see IBM defunding Wayland as they have done with many other things. One can hope :) I wonder if a systemd defunding occurred by IBM and that is why LP left for Microsoft.

Do not know why you were down-voted. But you can create a fake gmail/yahoo/whatever account for one/short time use. Encrypt your article and name it article.doc then email it. Plus all communication is sent as attachments as a fake doc too.

This will make people think it is a word doc and if they cannot "open" it they may think it is corrupted document and move on.

Are you dense or a fossil fuel shill ?

It is the speed of the warming, not the fact warming is happening. There is no question CO2 emissions from Fossil Fuel use is causing this crisis.

Also, the sun "warming" has absolutely no impact on the Earth in any measurable amount. After millions of years the sun will have some impact, not after 100 years. Earth's tilt has a greater impact and that tilt changes over many thousands of years, over 100 years, no impact at all.

Yes and no, I was at Lotus. Microsoft told Lotus that DOS and Windows is dead. M/S said you should develop for OS/2. Lotus being a small company focused on OS/2 and from what I remember, their 123 fo OS/2 was quite good.

During that time, Microsoft was enhancing Excel and Word for Windows/Windows 95, pretty much ignoring OS/2. When Windows 95 was released, M/S had Excel ready for use with Windows 95. Lotus had nothing. So the hype around W95 killed Lotus lead in spreadsheets. IIRC, it too an additional year for Lotus to have something for W95. The same move by M/S probably killed of Word Perfect too.

I wonder if this means they will stop providing 32 bit binaries only, but you can still compile it yourself. Or are they going to start using 64 bit only statements.

NetBSD and Slackware still compiles Firefox for their 32 bit systems. Will that be able to will continue ? OpenBSD dropped Firefox of i386 a release or 2 ago. FreeBSD is dropping 32 bit support, so a non-issue there.

Interesting, hopefully this can be found in other areas. Where this was found, that area enough fresh water. The only issue is water treatment. Many places need to build more treatment plants. So, the expense of getting it for the NE US is not really worth it at this point.

Now, the southwest US, or other such areas, this water would be a big help. But I wonder if the water is in that area because the Atlantic is spreading, where in the SW with subduction, this could be hard find.

I know little about geology, so my guess could be 100% crazy :)

Simple, launder some of the money Intel makes from Stock Buy Backs into Trump's + some of his lackeys pockets.

Well the US is in the process of following Europe down the same path

The US just banned all mRNA Vaccine Research and handed that huge growing Industry to China. We are now in the process of ending Renewable Energy Research and Deployment.

Never mind Trumps war on Education, when he is done people will only be able to read specific 2000+ year old stories in a book written centuries ago. We could end up as a Christian Taliban society.

But I guess in the long run it does not matter. There is a good chance Global Warming will end our civilization in maybe 100 years.

USPS cannot be ended without a constitutional amendment.

This will not last long, look at what happened to JC Penny when they decided to eliminate 'fake sales' and instead post the real price on their items. Almost went Cpt 11.

Granted this will not happen to MS, but people are stupid, they want to think they paid less than their peers even if false.

I can see some Sales People giving out some kind of benefit or discount behind the scene in a dark room. To me, this is a "feel good" ploy to make people thing they are all treated the same.

I care :)

Even though I never heard of the distro, but it is too bad to see these small projects closing.

To me, this looks like a "gentrification" of Linux is happening. Cool projects are closing down because of what IBM/RedHat is doing with their goal of making Linux work all the same way.

All thanks to the GOP's 40+ year war on education.

Now we have a new wrinkle from the GOP. Trump and Friends are turning US Universities and Public Schools into a kind of Christian Taliban like Religious School. Cutting research funds and stopping free flow of Ideas. And do not forget cutting all government science funding.

What did people expect to happen ? But hey, at least the very rich re getting richer while everyone else is struggling to pay for food, housing and healtcare. You get what you vote for.

That seems like it is the show I was referring to, thanks

I think there was a TV show that took place in the 70s, it was about a multi-generational ship that kind of looked like this. But it was cancelled rather quickly and my memory is rather fuzzy from that time. But this looks rather interesting.

But, does it run Linux ?
