  • While title is click bite, they do say right at the beginning:

    *Right now, it is pulling through only because of Microsoft's $10 billion funding *

    Pretty hard to miss, and than they go to explain their point, which might be wrong, but still stands. 700k i only one model, there are others and making new ones and running the company. It is easy over 1B a year without making profit. Still not significant since people will pour money into it even after those 10B.

  • I was thinking it is better if you find it by yourself, because that way you can better asses truthfulness, but I do know it is not easy to find so here are some examples, just listen to few videos on Niger situation:

    Some videos with opinions: https://youtu.be/3IIAB05hh-U

    Those are channels that I never noticed some affiliation beside toward whole Africa.

    Also do read the comments bellow videos.

  • Take a look at individual african channels on youtube. Don't listen to only white people what is happening in africa.

    Calling Mohamed Bazoum "democratically elected" is quite a streach of definition of the word "democracy".

    It us not much different situation for Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is now threatening to attac Niger and the reason is gas pipeline that goes toward EU through Niger.

    Inform yourself from different sides, we have internet now it is pre 90s era anymore.

  • If they were not aware of it before buying then it is illegal.

  • People are writing different opinions, but you are right, best IDEs are comercial software.

    I think it is just because it takes a lot of time and effort on boring stuff to make this tools smooth. Generally in open source we work on fun parts and leave those boring last 20% unfinished, which is ok with me.l

  • Linux Mint

  • Keep in mind that it all started 20 years ago with Pulseaudio. Pottering was not really a nice guy (on mailing lists ofc, I don't know him personally) whose software I wanted on my machine.

    Problem was never speed or even technical, problem was trust on original author and single-mindedness that they were promoting. Acting like it is the only way forward, so anyone believing in freedom part of free software was against it. Additionally, it was looking like tactics used by proprietary software companies to diminish competition.

    It looked scary to some of us, and it still does, even worse is that other software started having it as hard dependency.

    All of this looks like it was pushed from one place: Portering and RedHat.

    While after 20 years I might have gotten a bit softer, you can imagine that 15 years ago some agresive and arogant guy who had quite a bad habbit of writing (IMHO) stupid opinions wanted to take over my init system... no, I will not let him, not for technical reasons but for principal.

    I want solutions to come from community and nice people, even if they are inferior, I will not have pottering's code on my machine so no systemd and no pulseaudio for me, thank you, and for me it is an important choice to have.

  • I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.

    Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don't think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let's make space out of it.
