Let's all remember that Unity's core mission was to unify the interface modals across the complete spectrum of hardware all the way down to the telephone.

Now try to tell me that using my desktop with phone-compatible modality (single window per screen, keyboard optional, touch-UI as primary interface) has *anything* to do with reality. It was such a profound mistake and misunderstanding of how and why we interact with computers I still boggle to this day to comprehend the true depth of Unity's hubris.

Perhaps there were individual technological achievements with Unity that bear sustenance, but let's absolutely not forget the very real mistakes struggled with by everyone trying to be a good Ubuntu community member when Canonical so vastly misunderstood so many things to set us all up for failure.

Stop using this word crash in this context. Does an airliner crash when it descends 8%? Does a hard disk head contact a platter by moving 8% closer?

The hyperbolic titular editorialization by rehash is unacceptable.

Venmo won't let me use my Google Voice (ringcentral) number at all.

What's racist about this is the blindness to it being a CULTURAL problem. Speak recognition is blind. Literally.

Asinine reporting.

Don't let whomever has a financial interest in this cloud your vision; the traffic knock-on effects have been horrendous. Thank god for covid-19, cause now I don't ride bart OR drive. closing market has literally doubled the time it takes me to make it 0.8m in SF to park in a garage downtown.

Seems kinda obvious..?

I'm a citizen, not a consumer. And so is Mr. Barr. He can take his opinion and put it back where it came from.

The writer of this is just an overblown troll, backed by an industry that stands to lose basically everything when cars don't require drivers. Circular logic? Check. Overly flowery, net-zero phrases and rhetorical questions? Check. Erroneous assumptions? Hat trick!

Please don't feed the trolls.

So,

What would happen if you put this thing on a giant treadmill, and pointed it either upwind or downwind?

Hairyfeet,

I think you missed the point, and most of the comments. But I won't lay into you, because I don't believe anyone has made it plain.

The point is that this person should have known better. In fact, they did. End of story. They knew better, but that did not apparently affect the process enough to avert a negative outcome. Hence, Linus' response.

A.C., though your comment isn't clear in its entirety, I'll attempt to address what I see as a gross logical error:

I'm curious as to how Linus' comments are somehow going to result in a more unstable linux, according to you. Your fat check writer (pun intended), is interested in stability? The stability of what? If Linus hadn't been steering this process for years under the banner of "DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE", Linux wouldn't even be here for your corpulent bean counter to consider writing checks FOR, much less be interested in (the unclear part of your comment) how stable its development-base is.

In fact, the more I consider your comment, the more I'm surprised you haven't been unavoidably, mortally confused earlier in life.

Wait, is this the same AT&T that didn't officially admit until somewhere in the 'aughts that packet switching was actually a viable technology?

The same AT&T that couldn't possibly understand why telephones would replace the telegraph?

The same AT&T that tells Congress that competition among telcos hurts consumers?

Something doesn't seem quite right, here.

Because you want more than one mouse button, for instance?
