only big companies have access to the legal system. nobody else can afford it

Most of the world aren't American and we can afford our legal systems ;).

Thankfully shariah court is free. Inshallah

What did everyone expect? I can't understand this community's trust of microsoft or startups. It's the typical land grab: start off decent, win people over, build a moat, then start shaking everybody down in the most egregious way possible.

It's just unusual how quickly they're going for the shakedown this time

I think this "emergency break" is just going to get eye rolls from most people

That wasn't an up cycle, was it? Wasn't Microsoft was doing that at the same time as adding ads and stuff to the os. Silicon Valley people were just wowed by the open source initiatives and money. Everyone worshipped the ceo for it while windows for users swirled down the toilet, while new analytics couldn't be disabled, etc etc etc

Maybe not with the current administration pressuring the courts on the matter in some deranged manner or another

I doubt it was him who architected it. A team of lawful evil lawyers more likely

I've used linux desktop environments using Wayland and others using x11. No real problems with either.

Let's instead get excited by all the new linux users coming in thanks to SteamOS and Valve. If the trend continues, we might start seeing larger software companies releasing native linux versions of their software -- and then, the year of the linux desktop will start becoming an actual possibility!

(I heard affinity suite is linux friendly now btw, and davinci resolve too -- not sure if proton is necessary or not, but either way, really cool)

I like the idea of course, but I don't believe it for one second. Unless software is open source, it never properly supports Linux. A company making a proprietary executable for Linux will generally just make an Ubuntu executable.

My biggest fear with something like "the year of the Linux Desktop" is that it may end up making Linux be like Android: open source on the paper, but there is practically really just one way to do things, and that's the one controlled by Google.

What I like with Linux is this big mess of alternatives that manage to somehow compete with each other. Sure, it's not as polished as Android or Windows or macOS. But it's free (as in freedom).

Davinci resolve has had native Linux support for like a decade now.

IP laundering is a big part of AI, it's why big companies are so excited and workers / artists are less excited

ask apple to graciously allow you to install your own ram in the computer you "own"

Also for me. I cannot even get interviews anywhere. Enjoyed a really senior role at my previous position
