Blackstone inc.
Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide
Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.
Mandrake 2003. Followed by Ubuntu server 5.10 in 2005.
Switched to Debian in 2020, been on Debian since.
I use it because of the lack of BS.
Secondly, it’s stable.
Actually because of the density you wont be able to sink more than about 1/6th of your body into it.
Human leather bound books!
This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.
Going out in public in your pajamas.
How difficult it is to find fresh produce in small shops (food deserts)
How much fat is in all the meat.
How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)
The levels of national arrogance.
Saying someone is ignorant is not calling them stupid.
Someone who does not understand that difference, while having access to a dictionary on the other hand…
I was not talking about Tokyo, I was talking about German cities that were firebombed.
Firebombing multiple German cities was fine?
You need to educate away your ignorance.
I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.
I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.
I think it should be: “Software that is yours”
Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.
Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?
Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?
How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?
Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.
The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.
For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.
Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.
Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.
Line that is straight in two dimensions.
I think the moral consensus is, if you own it, it’s not piracy.
Media owners only want you to think that.
They abandoned it, you did not.
Yep, civ 2 is my all time favourite.
Take2 is blacklisted for me, for stealing early access money from kerbal space program 2 and then cancelling it, while still accepting money for it.
I have owned every Civ from 1 to 6.
The franchise is now dead to me until Take2 is replaced.
I believe so. Have not checked recently. All my Firefox extentions work as expected
Yep, many identity movements exist in order to foster us vs them politics.
