Every time someone mentions that IPv6 has integrated IPSEC encryption as an advantage of v6 over v4, we know that someone does not know about IPv6. He/she is just repeating what they have heard.

Right. Please stop trying to “fix” things that are not broken just because a minority feels they’re the center of the world.

"Very few people only do things locally now." Almost half of the world’s population has no access to the internet. https://www.weforum.org/agenda...

Please, do not take this as the normal way things should be.

Before installing a distribution, do a little research to know if drivers are available for your hardware. My 2

If you've read /. recently, Linux users themselves will build their own Ubuntu phone with a raspberry pi.

I dont know what is the great thing about instagram. It's just an app to apply some filters used mostly to apply a vintage effect in a photo of a meal. I know people here on /. don't need someone -me- to help you how to find an app to replace instagram, but please let your friends know about EyeEm or Snapseed. Anyway, results are almost the same.

A VPS is just an Internet-connected computer. "Virtual" means it may not be an actual physical computer, but a virtualized host, one of many, each running as if it were a real computer.

I did not know that and I bet, almost no one here on /. either.

I mean, 'r3dR0v3r' should know about web platforms.

Well, maybe and exception, but for non-business projects, Kickstarter works great if the idea of the project can make the people feel they're part of it.

I know about a movie, of a new Director that already made a pair of good very-low-budget movies that wanted to make a new one but better produced. Depending on the amount of money one send, you can get a different benefit like a DVD of the film, a ticket for the movie premiere or at least, see your name in the credits.

Simple projects that you don't expect much in return, but that you think they're a nice idea.

It looks outdated for new linux users. I like it because is simple, but for people coming from a windows world, it looks just "old". I think it does not help to adopt linux users.

... it will never be the Year of Linux in the Desktop.

I'd LOVE to use linux in the Desktop always (I love the Open Source philosophy) however, this kind of things make it hard.

Now what? Ubuntu users moving AGAIN to another distro? Mint? I do not know.

KDE/GNOME/Unity/X11/Mate/Cinnamon/LXDE/etc/etc/etc and still LibreOffice looks like Office 97.

I've decided a while ago to stay with debian, even if it does not look that "eye candy". Anyway, I'm old enough to not care at all if my desktop can not spin like a cube.

If someone cares about Linux in the Desktop, please stop this. Ubuntu is too popular between linux newbies, do not disappoint them. Please.
