The new app is universally hated. I’ve been reading bad reviews everywhere. In the App Store itself there are no bad or good reviews, apparently the reviews have been disabled. How can apple fumble something so bad? During the beta tests my feedback was constant about all sorts of problems with the UI and the workflow. It does not work as simply as it used to, or the way it should since the old way wasn’t perfect either but at least it was usable.

loved it!

Completely junk news. grrrr

I've stopped using google for many months now. Don't miss it. The only google service I consciously use is Youtube. Now there are other ways to get things done.

Bear with me...

If we all rally behind the free desktop ideas, we can achieve the goals and be able to present an alternative to modern OS X, Windows and mobile desktops/laptops.

Well said

... Cashing out

Couldn't say it better myself.
Systemd is simply re-re-re-implementing the wheel with barely any breakthroughs in something really innovative.

SELinux is not a distribution of Linux. This is a security tool (kernel level). Do a research.

Yep, with assembly is a breeze to keep the system secure.

I say this to all. Social media is for those who want to use it. Whatever the usage might be, it's a choice.
Bragging about not being in social media only makes you look passÃ, and you probably are anyway as tech and knowledge moves way to fast for us to keep up. You can try all you want but the fact is that you will be obsolete by the time you finish reading this message.
Enjoy your life at your private cabin, off-the-grid, and keep feeding the bears. Your time is only important to yourself.

Time to move off gmail. Good write up.

As someone who was taught C++ as a way to introduce one to programming in college, I have to agree.
Later, many years later in fact, when I discovered C, I was a much happier person. Everything is so much simpler in C starting with the syntax and ending with compiler optimization and debugging.
By comparison, one could say the same about using ECMA^Wjavascript versus CoffeeScript. JavaScript has many features most of which are good, however the syntax gets in the way. CoffeeScript "fixes" that by making code simpler without sacrificing on features.

So wait... 15.04 was supposed to get systemd and now they activate it and you think it shouldn't be activated until ...

I don't see your argument as valid. However, this is slashdot and you can rant all you want.

You are misled. This is well tested. Now it's just making it official.
