  • Vancouver safe street advocate hit by car on way home from advocacy meeting

  • Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died

    I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don't like that?

  • FYI,

    She broke a wrist. So don't break your hearts.

  • Sure but the title sounds interesting on it's own and prompted me to learn what it was. It's clickbait but there's no bait and switch when you visit the article.

    And the description gives enough clue for me what the article is going to be about:

    What happens when a large open source project dies.

    Edit:

    And I find that focusing too much about upvotes won't make for a good community experience. If the material is good the upvotes will eventually arrive.

  • Hmm sorry for calling you a Rube. You make a fair point.

  • Linux Mint's success also means maintainer stress - The Register

  • hey accumulating stuff that you still find use for is better than throwing them away. And you said you give away stuff to other people for their use.. which probably saves even more devices from a landfill.

  • You're a rube if you think corporations can't throw some money at interns do a rewrite in MIT and bypass GPL that way.

  • In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?

    Jump

  • I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

  • The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about "disrupting the market" it's actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

  • VirtualBox has been packaged as a Flatpak

    Jump

  • The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"

  • Why Circular AI Deals Among OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD Are Raising Eyebrows

    Jump

  • It looks like the circle that is forming over the AI industry is going to soon turn into a spiral that collapses into the center i.e. NVIDIA.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • You're ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn't so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.

    There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.

    This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn't as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.

  • but that's just a choice whereas in C you have no choice but write flawless code.

  • StackOverflow has lost 77% of new questions compared to 2022. Lowest # since May 2009.

    Jump

  • That takes reading from existing users.

    Also not all answers are perennial for a question. So it makes sense to ask them again. In that case, closing a question as duplicate is absurd.

  • Oops yeah you're right. Sorry OP. There's nothing better than using a database that flushes to disk often enough that missing a small chunk of data due to interruptions should be fine. Probably some kind of memory mapped IO on top of eager writing filesystem should do a good enough job.
