  • Yeah, I hate this. I want to know onion articles aren’t real.

  • Funny thing. All those North Korea ICBMs, they’re launching barbers who question the haircut into the ocean.

  • Will Heads Roll?

    Jump

  • Indeed. Wood chippers roll out!

  • If we are living in a simulation, do you think it is running a FOSS OS/software or a proprietary one?

    Jump

  • The universe is just being restored from backups. It took 7 days to fond a backup which would boot, and the Time to Restore was wildly inaccurate.

  • Oh, so it’s written in Lisp.

  • The primary ways in which the Mozilla Foundation earns money is through search partnerships, donations and grants.

    Yes. It’s the same thing with the Linux kernel and other large FOSS projects. There isn’t a perfect fit for Android, but it would be better than the way ASOP is run now.

    As for Red Hat, this comes down to subscriptions or enterprise offerings, neither which really apply to a consumer OS unless you're willing to pay a subscription fee out of pocket.

    Consumer devices ship with proprietary software which is licensed all the time. It could be a library or an entire OS. Consumers are not the target market, like consumers aren’t the target market for RHEL.

    The prime example is Windows. It’s licensed to Dell or whomever and ships with the hardware. The license is baked in.

    Some people might be willing to pay if the price is reasonable enough. Android has support for major vendors, so using it as a base would be a boon to people doing things like media boxes and signage.

    I doubt there will be much to be earned from offering consulting or training, either, unless they make Android exceedingly confusing to use.

    It’s the opposite. Make it easy to use. Companies pay for tools which reduces developer time.

    The only companies that would pay for Android are OEMs who are already making thin margins, and effectively it'd drive the price of non-iPhones up.

    The smaller OEMs would pay for licenses, PS hours, and backend services. They don’t have the expertise or budget.

    Samsung? They’re going to keep doing what they’re doing because they have the expertise and budget to fork from upstream. It’s possible they would rally around Android, like companies have rallied around the Linux kernel.

    OEMs do this with Linux already, so it would bring Android more inline with the norms.

  • It could be profitable the way RHEL or the Mozilla Foundation is profitable.

    Companies will pay for OS support, and companies will pay for access. Android as a foundation with a company selling OS support and services which could be rebranded would be profitable.

    I’m thinking about the wider IoT space here beyond only mobile.

  • Yeah, MS would probably buy Android to get back into the mobile market.

    I agree. Ideally, Android would be something like Debian or a mobile project of the Linux Foundation. It would really be better off if it wasn’t beholden to a company.

    The mobile OS wars have already settled on Android and iOS. Closing off Android would destroy the market, and I don’t want to go back to the days when Windows Mobile was the leading mobile OS.

    Odds are low of anything good happening because of this administration.

  • the void is instantly filled by someone happy to oblige in propaganda.

    That’s the part which makes this so hard. The position will get filled with some empty bootlicker eager to carry their water and curry favor.

  • American Millennials Are Dying at an Alarming Rate

    Jump

  • This is pretty much it.

    I was coasting along, and doing pretty well for myself. Things needed to be changed politically, but nothing dire. Working on that change. Then everything went off a f&@“ng cliff into the ocean.

    Life is bleak, and like any disaster, know where the exits are.

    Are there any Linux distros that handle updates similarly to FreeBSD and OpenBSD?

    Jump

  • It’s not so much about a second package manager as it is about having a base system and separating extra software from the base system.

    Moving extra packages out of the base system allows the extra packages to be updated quicker. Fewer things get frozen when the stable point in time distro release is tagged. This also helps the base as it can move without having to worry about every piece of software in the repos being compatible with the changes.

    The concept exists as 3rd party repos. However, most aren’t setup to be as cleanly separated as ports are.

    Jump

  • There are none. Linux is a baseless system, which is its power and frustration.

    You could install Debian or Alma Linux and run pkgsrc on it to approximate a base and extra packages setup like the BSDs.

    There are parts of a tightly coupled userland forming, like iptools and systemd, but there are many things missing at the moment.

  • CC and open carry laws vary by state in the US.

    I am in an open carry area with lax laws. Most people don’t open carry because it’s dumb in an urban area. Out in the rural areas it makes more sense.

  • Yeah. These problems are why I left Ubuntu for Fedora.

    Asking for me, because I’m an old CS grad in a bad job market.
