Ruined the internet? How?
I like the prospect of more Linux hardware hitting the market with officially supported distros. The European Union should be funding this kind of stuff to supplant Microsoft within its borders.
Why do piracy apps still put their source on github? It's just asking for trouble...
You do have to consider that Intel has a head start of multiple decades, should've had a war-chest the size of a nation (like Nintendo), and has a nigh monopoly position in the CPU market. Intel also has preferential treatment in the US (similar to Microsoft), so it's not it isn't already being funded by the US government.
You don't catch up on decades of research just by pumping in money. That's like trying to have a baby faster by having more women.
Trying to pretend Intel is the underdog in this scenario is not credible. Despite - or maybe exactly due to, their head start, pseudo-leaders who thought they could survive any boneheaded decision are giving that lead away. And yet again, tax payer money may have to be used to correct the decisions of a private company (yes publicly traded but the government doesn't own Intel). Privatise profits, nationalise debt. Works every time!
My immediate thought was: why not NixOS as a base? Building KDE is such a nightmare that if they had to deal with it themselves on NixOS, it would help them clear up their dependencies. Right now it's such a big mess of unnamed and implicit dependencies that exposing it to the team would also show them how to cut down on them.
My hope was also that if the KDE team were invest in a NixOS offshoot, that the OS would finally get proper GUIs or integrations into existing GUIs like Discover (why not Diskover?) Or the system settings and other config management.
But, to be fair, I could understand if they considered it, took one look at the documentation and noped out.
Fan-made, for free, no opensource 🤨 I feel like there's going to be a "surprise" in the near future.
Oh, so if China helps out their companies, it's meddling but if the US government fucking bails out a company that should go bankrupt because of dreadful and shit management, it's a necessary step to secure national interests. So much for "the free market will regulate itself".
Hypocrites.
Was IPFS considered? I've tried it myself but it seems like an unstable product and I'm not sure if it's living up to its promise...
This is the same argument as "capital flight". It's a bad one as most opensource isn't used commercially. There are thousands of projects maybe millions of projects out there not found anywhere in commercial projects. Most aren't written to end up being used commercially either, but if they ever are, they should get paid.
Arguing against adding a line to get paid in case it's used commercially, is as bad an argument as taxing the rich "because one day I might be rich".
Is that a problem with java? In fact, is it even a problem on github where repos are namespaced by user or org?

I know what Eternal September is, but how have mobile phones "ruined" the internet? I'd attribute whatever ruin is observed to financial greed not mobile phones.
Again, how have mobile phones specifically "ruined the internet"?
