Rubbish. Stallman's catchphrase about free beer vs free speech may sound like a tired cliche but apparently he hasn't repeated it enough yet. No one has...

[jacob]

It would still be playing identity politics, seeing people as groups, not individuals, and reducing them to assumed identities. As such, it would be nothing...

[jacob]

This is the exact argument once used by one Darl McBride, by the way.



Ummm no we don't. Or, more precisely, not always and...

[jacob]

Grown people can, and do, put up with abuse, which is unavoidable and is just a part of life, like bad weather. And if the "activists" are so...

[jacob]

So once again, I don't call for any discrimination. No one, I imagine, claims that people suffering from GID, flu or who have a broken limb should not...

[jacob]

Would you care to show where, specifically, do I advocate for white supremacy? If you can point to it, you can have a full year's subscription to the...

[jacob]

You are missing the point. No one is advocating for discriminating against people - in fact I don't remember there ever been any case of discrimination...

[jacob]

Hello World in JavaScript? You give the Gender Studies or Critical Theory graduates too much credit. They will never be capable of such an intellectual...

[jacob]

The problem is that the Code of Conduct doesn't say you will not harrass or discriminate against those who believe in "gender identity". It...

[jacob]

Oh no. Even Linux is now contaminated by this idiotic Lysenkoist notion of "gender identity"... Next I presume they will move all their repos...

It also has great integration with firewalld.
I agree that eventully NetworkManager will (and should) evolve to a graphical front-end to systemd-***,...

[jacob]

That's already being used in Ubuntu 18.04 (among others, presumably)...

[jacob]

networkmanager handles WIFI with WPA etc., USB and Bluetooth network interfaces, VPNs etc., all with a nice GUI and application integration.
AFAIK...

[jacob]

If I was to switch I would probably go to Fedora, but I have too much baggage to carry over (custom packages, workflows, automated reinstallation etc.)...

[jacob]

Is it too late for Ubuntu 18.10?

[jacob]

I think that's the main thing. Rust itself is based on LLVM so as large parts of the Firefox code base move to it, having both Rust and C/C++ use the...

[jacob]

Wayland support is next to nonexistent, but I would say support is poor overall. Blob drivers in general, and nvidia in particular, tend to break with...

[jacob]

I doubt that Gnome Shell's problems will be fixed conclusively until at least Gnome 4. Until then, the current design where all extensions run in the...

[jacob]

Actually no. Redhat didn't "deprecate" Btrfs, they never used it at the first place. For a while they considered using it at some point in the...

Interesting. Would you mind sharing your opinions about C#, and why you like it the most? I'm just being curious. I don't develop in C# but I got to review...
