I agree with you, but Rust syntax is such trash. I know they can’t really help it due to their ownership system, static typing, immutable data structures...

[cynical]

Based on what? JS bindings for the Gnome platform depend on significant parts of Gnome being installed? Not surprising....

[cynical]

You're thinking of Hong Kong....

[cynical]

True, but let's not forget that there is nothing wrong with doing good and making a profit at the same time. In fact, there is really no sustainable way...

TSMC is Taiwanese, not Chinese. And judging by the F16s they just bought from the US, I don’t think they like the idea of China stopping them from trading...

[cynical]

Can’t say the comments here aren’t predictable. We can’t have any company trying to make desktop Linux successful. They are the enemy, and they...

[cynical]

There is no CLA, its licensed as GPL. You’re just making stuff up because you hate Canonical....

[cynical]

The minute the company was founded? If they spent money to pay developers to work on desktops that they don’t even use, I would think that they had...

Author is bullshitting you, or didn’t know you were asking about POWER. Yeah it’s fully optimized... for x86. The best you could hope for is to benefit...

It's true that the loading of apps was slow at the time, but that was at the very beginning. It's nothing that wouldn't have been fixed by now had they...

Things like Slack that aren't available in the repos, for one....

[cynical]

Uh, Amazon?...

[cynical]

Did you even read it? He said it had a good UI design lol. And we know that's a fact now because Android/Apple both copied the gestures idea for their...

[cynical]

You get that this was just the initial plan right? They were trying to start out being compatible so manufacturers might give them a second glance since...

[cynical]

I wish Canonical had stuck with it. Unity 8 was soo nice, and they were very much in the early days. Imagine where they would be now if it were still...

[cynical]

JavaScript is not being used to do any significant amount of work in Gnome, so blaming it for performance issues is bizarre. It's there for ease of use...

I’m using a 1080p iPhone atm, and have had higher resolution phones, and definitely don’t notice or care about the difference. I’m younger so maybe...
