That mistake led to the development of the most successful version control system in history. I wish my mistakes were 10% as productive as that.

Are you asking if Linus was right about something outside of the kernel

Until they release systemd-kernel. You can say I'm being ridiculous but they already have their own bootloader (systemd-boot). At this point, the kernel is just about the only thing left for systemd to consume.

Capitalism is an economic system. Everything you mentioned is independent of economic systems and could happen anywhere regardless of economic system.

Yes, as well as tanophobia.

Thanks to our great leaders, we're being given freedom from choice. We no longer have to suffer from choice paralysis, just use what you're told.

Agreed. Never trust a company that claims it owns colors.

Third time is the charm.

They chose to write code that's hard to maintain and now they're stuck maintaining it (or in this case, throwing it away and angering users). It goes back to the old maxim: there's never enough time to do it right but there's always time to do it twice.

Did they lie, or did they do a stealth update on their ToS that says the exact opposite of what it said prior to the update?

Real Linux users do all of their video editing in ffmpeg.

I do all of my CAD in Blender.

1. With the engine off, press the brake pedal three times and then the accelerator pedal five times
2. Hold down the power button on the infotainment center for five seconds
3. While still pressing the infotainment power button, lightly tap the ignition button
4. Douse the car in gasoline and light it on fire

It was obvious that Broadcom's plan was to shed their smallest customers and squeeze their biggest customers and I'm sure that they had models projecting how many customers would migrate away from VMware in the process. What I'd love to know is how accurate those projections have been but that information is harder to obtain.

Want access to the latest models? First you need to kiss the ring and bless Trump's Cashapp. Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing...

And the Steam controller is purported to use TMR sensors. I just put TMR sensors in my PS5 controller (it was the fourth one to get stick drift) and I'm hoping that should solve the issue permanently. I haven't noticed a difference in gameplay, but they're supposed to last a long time rather than the terrible potentiometers in the OEM controller. And the process of replacing the sticks was a bit of a nightmare, so I appreciate when a company uses quality parts from the start.
