If you have a motherboard still capable of running the remaining couple of Ivy Bridge era CPUs - due to tin whisker death - you may not be able to tell...

[stormcrow]

Enough with the stupid conspiracy theories about Github and the Microsoft buyout being somehow tainted because Microsoft can monetize what's already public...

[stormcrow]

My educated guess would be at least some of the maintainers don't want to add to the burden of support. Any particular device can have different reporting...

They use FreeBSD.

You know... the brain dead people at Netflix, Sony, Apple, NetApp, Cisco, Juniper... no one special....

[stormcrow]

He's pointing out that there shouldn't be a workaround. This is a problem in the Linux kernel itself, and it should be addressed at the level of the...

I think this is more of a matter of giving a green light to ISO sizes larger than the typical DVD +/- RW sizes than it is the ISO images themselves being...

[stormcrow]

I don't believe there's really any reason to panic even if a project hasn't converted. There are alternatives to upstream python2 support with various...

[stormcrow]

I think we should see if the original assertion can show what data files were used for compression to get the stated result. Some file types compress...

Congrats, you've all been successfully trolled. Don't you feel silly? ...

[stormcrow]

Ok, first off, I'm not in Germany and I'm not German so your legal arguments are completely inapplicable. I have a fundamental right under US law to...

ESR is going to do that anyway. His ego won't let him do anything less. If he gets rebuffed he'll whine about it on his blogs how he was wronged when...

[stormcrow]

This is ridiculous at this point. Just do it already and present it as a fait accompli....

[stormcrow]

I do wonder though... FAT32 is also patent encumbered and it's been enforced though the case was settled - see Microsoft v. TomTom. There's a strong...

[stormcrow]

Which doesn't negate what I said. Wayland has a very narrow range of support where it's "usable". I personally despise Gnome, which makes...

*For some value of usable.

Not very usable for much of anything outside of a fairly narrow range of hardware and software combinations....

[stormcrow]

For anyone that was actually AROUND back then and used them, they were extremely usable and widely used. Why? Because unlike today most computers and...

[stormcrow]

Commercialism and capitalism at it's "finest". People want to watch Netflix et al on Linux, so you have DRM. There's no room for compromise...

[stormcrow]

At this point this is almost becoming ridiculous... posts like the one you're responding to. This guy shouldn't even be using a computer if he's posting...

[stormcrow]

Poor in terms of usability, and comparative feature implementation. Not poor in terms of effort.

The only way this is going to change is...

I think we should be very careful about heaping praise on companies supporting LLVM. The reason isn't because of performance or any other merits of the...
