they’re mad that Linux devs regularly stop creating P&CI features, instead opting for CLI with no P&CI equivalent action.

I’ve never seen this?

It’s typically a completely different developer who creates the CLI first, and then one of us adds a P&C after.

So if something is brand new, sure there might be no P&C, yet.

I promise There’s no conspiracy to not have nice things. Haha.

Installing software on the command line is often a nightmare

In my experience, installers are often a nightmare.

For me, GUI vs CLI have about the same failure rate (for their operating system).

But I appreciate that the CLI version gives me a message I can search for instead of a “fuck you buddy” pop up box with an “ok” button.

Edit: There’s one case where I have a much harder time with CLI installs - when there’s only a CLI “installer” available. I don’t blame the CLI for that, I blame the person who shares seven CLI commands instead of writing an installer.

You may want to check out Ghost Commander and it’s many cross platform clones. They include a nice mix of graphical and batch command tools.

Shit. I wish we had that option (dragging files between folders) on Linux. Maybe someday.

(This is a joke, about how it feels like a lot of folks with strong opinions about Linux haven’t tried Linux in a long while.)

Linux has a UI now.

The amount of command line is grossly exaggerated.

What happens? (If, because again, that’s not what has happened, so far.)

• GrapheneOS would continue, but probably not manage compatibility with the next Pixel phone.
• Various forks of Android Open Source get created, with mixed success. Existing phones will keep working, new phones with proprietary servers drivers are much less likely to work.
• We create something like ndiswrapper to help us extract weird new phone hardware drivers and make them work with open operating systems.
• The fully open phone hardware projects suddenly get a bunch of new customers.

The last point is the only thing I’m confident is preventing Google from taking their fork of AOSP fully closed. (Yes, I know it wouldn’t be legal. But I’m not sure their lawyers think they would be held accountable. Most people don’t understand the existing laws Google already breaks daily since purchasing YouTube.)

Trabulsy noted that lawmakers passed the existing restriction in 1990 to reduce insurance rates.

“Lo and behold, insurance rates did not come down,” she said. “It’s about time that we change this law and put the courts back in the hands of Floridians.”

That’s something, anyway. I hope we stop falling for “we will lower your rates”, because we know they won’t.

What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

“Wage slaves” is the only answer I’ve found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they’re asking for.

I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I appreciate the updates.

🍿

That’s metal as fuck. Rock on.

I never had that problems. My messages are always perfect on the first to-do.

(This is a joke. I intentionally didn’t fix my autocorrect.)

I honestly mostly shop for “SteamDeck verified”.

This change will also have minimal impact on most developers. App developers are unaffected, as it pertains only to platform development.

Bullshit. Not being able to follow along with relevant changes absolutely affects us.

Trunk based development is a good idea. Working in secrecy is not. They chose evil.

This is a clear indication of a lack of commitment to open source.

Yes. The laws can be fixed.

Workers should be at the front of the line legally dividing up company assets.

The job may be gone, but folks could at least drive home with a work truck or a set of office chairs.

That looks like a Labrador / Bloodhound mix. Both have a lot of running in their DNA. And labradors are particularly communal. So very probably “greatest day of their life”. They finally found some humans who understand the value of a good long pack run. Haha.
