Blogspam that links to a ‘news’ website that just regurgitates this reddit thread. Somebody explain to me why is this upvoted so heavily.

Maybe Apple will have their Balmer moment but, as much as I would like to see that, I don’t expect it any time soon.

I agree, but years ago most of us would have said something similar when asked to carry around a device that will track your position everywhere you go. Now we all do that, because smartphones are just so convenient.

It’s opensource, strongly typed, works very well on Linux, its neither Java nor JavaScript and there are lots of jobs available; so you wont hear me complaining.

If there is one thing Microsoft is struggling with it’s naming things. I work mostly with .NET and the regular renaming of products is just something you have to put up with. 🤷

Thanks, fixed.

Don’t bother it is published by Packt. None of the books published by them I have read where any good.

Now this is the kind of ‘news’ I’d like to see posted on hackernews just to read their techbro shit takes.

No this is a reasonable approach. Arrowhead are a a rather small company of around 100 people and automating things is easier said than done. They also never anticipated the game to be as successful as it is so at the time it probably wasn’t high on the priority list. Now they pay Joel overtime (I hope) and can think about how to implement an automated script to adjust the game.

I have a Fairphone 4 since release. There where some bugs for the first couple of months. Now everything works as it should and I have no complaints regarding day to day usage. I am not using my phone for much more than messaging, navigation and some light web browsing though, so my experience might not be representative.

I use a Nextcloud app called Memories for my photos. I don’t know if it is one par with Google Photos but it’s good enough for me. There are a few providers that offer managed Nextcloud servers, personally I use the one by Hetzner.

The part about changing the login screen seems to be not entirely true. There is also this tool that claims to be able to generate rpm from sddm themes that you then can layer onto your system image. Take this with a grain of salt though, as I haven’t tried either method because I honestly don’t care how my login screen looks.

I am using Fedora Kinoite and it has been incredibly stable. I like that I can always rollback to a previous state if an update breaks something. This was a huge issue for me a couple of years ago and I stopped using Linux for quite some time because of that. I haven’t had to roll back anything yet but without that feature I wouldn’t even consider making a Linux distro my daily driver. Installing software is for the most part pretty easy if you are happy using flatpak applications and toolbox. I like that all the packages that I need for my work or for messing around stay in the toolbox container and won’t affect the stability of my system. The only thing I find a bit annoying is that you have to reboot to apply updates. For me, going back to a ‘mutable’ distro is out of the question.

I read about this a couple of days ago, apparently some support was there since DOS 2.0.
