That's not the only problem with RMS's philosophy. He makes statements that are opinions, such as what is or isn't unjust, stating them as if they were fact. He then makes leaps to a related point based on those opinions. He's an interesting character, and a talented if unfocused developer, but beyond entertaining I don't find anything he has to say to be useful.

It is about time this state does something I agree with. Houses built in area prone to flooding, houses that become prone to flooding because of oveconstruction, this is a real mess here.

With fewer BR/4KBR releases, and fewer places selling what is released, and fewer players available, and now theaters dying out, it's like the studios don't want you to consume their content unless you subscribe to their streaming platforms. I don't see this as a good strategy on their part.

  I don't need a bunch of subscriptions, so I don't have a bunch of subscriptions. That's not going to change. I don't believe I'm alone.

From a stockholder perspective, I think expanding festures to third party systems makes sense, but after it has been an Apple-exclusive feature for some period of time, maybe 3-5 years. This allows Apple to leverage their investment in developing the tech without locking behind their walled garden forever. I don’t like expanding these features by country or region. That’s confusing for the consumer.

Ditto.

Absolutely. I could pick right up with edlin like I never stopped. It was so handy for really quick edits.

Honestly, since they left for Bluesky, X/Twitter has been more civilized. At least my feed is. The hate from just a few years ago seems like it ran out of steam, but maybe it's just on a different platform now.

That makes sense. Here in the US, I was an early reader of Linux Journal and Linux magazine. I hadn't heard of this one either.

I did. Was going to make it, but was beat to it.

All of mine are. They come in handy. No code in the car though. ;)

Oh boy, now they feel empowered.

Exactly, which is what government subsidies bring with it.

Sure, let the government run it. Without privatization, there is no competition, without competition quality begins a steady but certain decline. We benefit from competition in quality, choice, and usually cost. If anything, we need more competition in the space without small players being gobbled up by the behemoths.

Same here, although I was 9 at the time. I recorded the news on a tape recorder that day as Skylab was falling, just because I thought it was the craziest thing that something from space was falling and may hit something.
