I'd think it's because of tertiary costs like customer support, etc. It's feasible to have support staff that would listen to customer complaints for releases on one uniform platform. It certainly won't be feasible to do the same for Linux releases as they and their problems will vary as much as the distro fragmentation.
Have you considered this is a good thing?

Parents and children are a generation away, there are flights over cultural differences that drive wedges. I'm glad I only see my Fox News repeating parents once a week.

However my co-workers are my peers who I can bounce ideas off.

This isn't new or Western either. Japan has a phrase "Foolish father" that both means what it sounds like, but also respect that everyone has a father. A more general term "filial piety".
If anyone wonders why I'm asking this. I read (and voted) on the depression thread and I think it was a pretty interesting and kind of terrifying at the same time due the high percentage of people with depression.

But I think this could be a better question or an easier one to answer as sometimes we don't even know what depression is or if it's really depression what we're feeling or going through. I'd say happiness is something we all know well.
Sleep/wake has been 100% perfect on my X1 Carbon running Linux. Not a single issue since I got the device over a year ago.

Battery drain is higher during sleep than a Mac though.
That's fine. Humanity has survived much bigger problems in the past, and I'm sure we'll be able to get by just fine now. And as an added note, as I personally have no appreciation for democracy, in my opinion anything that diminishes its power in people's minds is eminently desirable.
The first wakeup issue I had was on a T495... but a software upgrade fixed it thankfully.

On some laptops and desktops it works flawlessly. This is purely anecotal, but my last 5-7 linux computers over the years (~15 years) have never had issues sleeping and waking.

Usually, I've been running something that is either not very new, or else, is specifically branded as having linux support.

Which is also the Apple approach. Mac OS is pretty terrible at sleep and wake on non-Apple hardware, but of course it is, Apple doesn't test against hardware they don't support. In both cases it isn't anything wrong with the Linux or Darwin kernels, it's inconsistent implementations and little manufacturer care.
I worked for a telecom company for ten years. The first few, everything was good, but we were struggling and raises and bonuses were non-existent and layoffs were frequent. Eventually I realized I was making a lower salary from when I started so I just started working less. Toward the end I was working less than four hours a week, getting positive feedback from my manager and skip-manager.

It hurt my career staying at a dead-end job but it gave me years of free time doing pretty much whatever I wanted.
There are two types of "younglings".

1. Those that want to refactor the entire codebase and are shot down, and become jaded about the management structure.

2. Those who refactor the entire codebase and learn why they should have been stopped. They then become the managers who stop the next generation.

I dislike having to enter my extremely long decryption password every time I boot.

Also, I have no idea how your computer boots in seconds.

POST to UEFI is at least 3-5 seconds.

Than I have to wait about 5-10 ish seconds after I type my password to decrypt my drive.

Than it gets to OS selection screen which takes 3-5 seconds. Then it has to load all services after boot which takes about another 5-10 seconds before things get into a vaguely usable state.

This versus 2 seconds to wake.

Productivity is important, sure. But as with all other professions in which people interact, the interpersonal skills and behavior tend to be more important IMO. Productivity can be massively impacted (positively and negatively) by how well people communicate and get along with each other.

Parking lot? A truely motivated employee who cares about his job will sleep on a bedroll stored neetly under their desk. Mobility is only an issue for those slackers who choose to spend time away from the office.

Given that they claim to individually review each app within a short timeframe, a bulk upload would make it impractical for them to provide this service.
I think there is some value to that metric but I would not call it excellent. A really good developer might come up with a slight requirement change or an engineering detour that makes many tickets meaningless, he might improve tooling such that things that took hours now take minutes, he might be able to write tests or come up with new processes that increase quality 10x. If we think of guys like Jeff Dean, the ability to close tickets written by project managers is not what makes them stand out.
Yeah, I imagine this is testing some marriages, but I think my spouse and I are both happier for spending more time together. It really depends on living arrangements as well - just our office space is nearly as large as our first apartments entire living space so we can take the time apart we need.

Unfortunately as YouTube and the rest of the internet has grown larger, and more consolidated, [1] the positions allowed have narrowed in scope and counter narratives have become less acceptable. While websites with counter narratives (WikiSpooks for example) do exist, they're generally not very visible anymore. I think what you're describing is largely what is happening will happen, and those who present counter narratives will be de-legitimized, including and conflating both those who are genuinely illegitimate (Dr. Gene Ray/time cube) and those who aren't.

The closest alternative I can see is reading media with opposing spin (People's Daily, RT) and yours and hoping together they composite a clearer picture. For example I would not expect to see this [2] headline in a US paper.

This circular logic is more disingenuous noise (the userbase of HN is utterly irrelevant given that you're trying to prove your own absurd claim that only HN cares, when clearly the entire developed world cares). How are you not moderated down to transparent by now? [I will tell you why - because the title draws in a certain crowd that is comforted by your nonsense, however fictional it is]

Whatever you hope the position of Apple is doesn't correlate with reality.

Aside: Ferrari has between 0.01% - 0.1% marketshare in a given year in the richest countries, and that is your example why Apple -- at 20% or so in most of the world's economies -- is irrelevant. That is some perilously embarrassing nonsense. Hyundai, in contrast, has 7% marketshare in the US and is considered a pretty big player.

Go's Append Behavior and Potentially Unintended Side Effects
Analysis paralysis. Legal frameworks are rarely just conjured up out of a singular document, the exact same way that a finished program is almost never published as a single commit. I say do what you can, when you can, then iterate until it's good.

If that makes things too complicated, well... some of the greatest legal achievements in history stem from compiling existing law into coherent codes based on what worked previously.
Yes. Freedom in computing is a very sharp double-edged sword. On one hand, it gives you control of your device and your computing world and lets you create anything you want. On the other hand, it lets malware and spyware take total control of your machine and steal all your personal data or extort you with ransomware.

Security is always somewhat like that. It really wouldn't be that hard for a determined burglar to break into my house. I could make it a lot harder, but doing so would come at the expense of a great deal of my own convenience and even freedom. I don't want bars on my windows and I don't want to have to authenticate against a panel or app/keyfob every single time I enter or leave my home.

My neighborhood has police and I live in a very civilized place. The Internet is an open war zone overrun with criminals and malicious privacy-invading corporations (and governments, and not just your own government) bent on subjecting you to a total panopticon. Computers must be secure in a much more hostile environment than my house or my car. A computer today must be more like a hardened compound in a failed state than a house in a typical developed world city or suburb.

I've been saying "the Internet is a failed state" for a while. Apple with its locked down walled garden is like one of those private mercenary security armies that provide security to the rich in failed states.
I have had the polar opposite experience. After many unsuccessful trials of DDG in past years, I recently switched my default engine to DDG about 2 months ago on all devices (desktops and mobile). Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised. I would say I end up prefixing !g (to redirect to a Google search) once every 200-500 queries. For the remainder, the DDG results page is such a welcome change from Google’s, which basically has gradually morphed from its original 10 links only into a glorified link farm run by a surveillance megacorp.
I'd expect e.g. Ubuntu certified devices [1] to handle it. There are certified laptops from at least Dell and Lenovo, and probably the odd model from other manufacturers. While the certification technically only means the hardware is compatible with Ubuntu, and perhaps only as pre-installed by the OEM, in practice that probably means general Linux compatibility. I have trouble seeing any point in making Ubuntu-specific tweaks to an OEM install, as it's easier to just send only the models with compatible components for certification (or to pick compatible components in the first place, which may be feasible at least for premium laptops).

But as a user, you do have to pick your hardware.

My ThinkPad X240 has been suspending and resuming reliably for the majority of the last 6 to 7 years. There was a time when the touchpad didn't work after resume without tweaking (in Fedora), which was annoying and surprising and something that IMO shouldn't have happened. But other than that there have been no issues.

There are an awful lot of "normal people" who want an ethnically homogeneous, harmonious home for their children, while those advocating abortion, transsexuality, homosexuality, childhood sex education, etc are the epitome of evil "hate groups".

Remembering Defender of the Crown with Fredrik Wester from Paradox Interactive
I feel like we're kind of mixing up a bunch of things here, or maybe I am.

The reason you don't need to mess with GRUB or you BIOS when you change your
hardware is that modern hardware interfaces have built-in discovery and resource
allocation features. Before that you had to deal with pesky low level details
like IRQ allocations and the like (which was a thing on PC not that long ago).

That's not really a feature of "PC" per se, it's a feature of USB, PCI etc...
That stuff works exactly the same on ARM or anywhere else.

The things that need to be described in the device tree are generally internal
components of the SoC and motherboard, things like IO expanders, SPI interfaces,
serial interfaces, and of course the USB/PCI/... controllers themselves.

I think there maybe some confusion because of the term "bootloader". It's true
that both u-boot and GRUB are bootloaders, but bootloaders in the ARM world have
a lot more to do than PC bootloaders, they're effectively the equivalent of UEFI
+ GRUB, not just GRUB. You can write a simplistic boot sector loader for PC in a few hundred ASM opcodes, that would be a lot more difficult for the average ARM bootloader because there's a lot more to do before you can just call into Linux. In general you won't even have RAM or caches available when u-boot begins executing.

And I think it's actually a better design, because it means that proprietary
built-in firmware crap is usually kept to a minimum on ARM: the BOOTROM usually
just initializes the bare minimum to be able to load u-boot (or some other
loader) into on-chip SRAM and then it's over. Of course that means that the loader is
significantly more complex, but that complexity has to be some place or an
other.
The Western nuclear family is a very unnatural social arrangement. Anthropologists have found that in most hunter-gatherers, the average infant is held at one point or another by 30+ people in a typical day.

The nuclear family has the twin downsides of putting tons of stress on parents of young kids, who shoulder the entire childcare burden, and deprives a lot of grandparents, aunts, cousins, and others of meaningful childcare time. In the industrialized West, for most people it's either all babies all the time, or no babies whatsoever. Both extremes are suboptimal relative to the environment humans evolved for.
Too bad EU population is a drop in a sea and it’s already in some parts quite environmentally conscious (if not to say “friendly”).
So it was Apple's moves into ARM that finally prompted Microsoft to improve Windows' support for ARM, whereas Microsoft's own forays into ARM were largely ignored and forgotten, even by themselves.

I suspect the political appeal of this would be limited because inflation doesn't hit everyone to the same degree - and there's not way to control that degree of impact.

With taxes and spending you can far more easily pick out who you're hurting and who you're helping. Those tools are knife while what you're suggesting is for politicians to use a rock.

Also as a practical matter having the government need to raise taxes to pay for spending is a (for government any way) relatively immediate form of feedback. Taxes go up and those who are taxed start complaining right when they hear what the tax bill will be. Inflating costs is imprecise - the "cost" comes on slowly and the "fix" for it - almost always raising interest rates is very painful and happens very quickly. So painful that politicians have historical needed a buffer - an appointed federal reserve in the US - to actually do it.
- In car magazines, we might expect to hear about that, too.

- Apple has big impact.

The most durable headphones I've ever owned are Sennheiser HD 25 and made from plastic and super light. It was ~£100, sounds amazing and lasted me 15 years of being dragged to clubs, house parties and getting a fair beating. Only this year have I replaced them and that was only because I lost my old pair in a recent house move and figured "it's been 15 years, there's no shame in buying a new pair even though the old pair might turn up in a random box later".

However those cans don't have bluetooth, noise cancelling, a microphone nor adaptive EQing. They're literally just a high quality speaker, headband and copper wiring.
I stopped using Messenger once they started with the ads. Signal is a great replacement. The chat heads on Android were cool but I don’t find I really miss them.

IRA was totally overblown in terms of its impact. See Thomas Rid's Active Measures.

Andrew Bosworth, former head of FB ads, has been pretty critical of Cambridge's claims as well: "In practical terms, Cambridge Analytica is a total non-event. They were snake oil salespeople. The tools they used didn’t work, and the scale they used them at wasn’t meaningful. Every claim they have made about themselves is garbage. Data of the kind they had isn’t that valuable to begin with and worse it degrades quickly, so much so as to be effectively useless in 12-18 months."
> The burden of proof needed to break up a company should always be lower than that needed to execute or incarcerate a human for life.

This a fair point that got me thinking. On first pass, I broadly agree but as I unwound it more I realized there are some second-order downstream consequences to at least consider in the calculus balancing net harms. My other realization was that my own analogy to criminal sentencing was not really a good fit to this context. Trying to benchmark two such different things in relation to each other is hard. Especially when moral intuition is involved. I'll concede the point and plead it down to simply supporting the statement that going for higher penalties or more invasive remedies raises the bar for prosecutors within the same legal domain.

> If our values are that companies are sub-human (as they should be)

Companies certainly aren't people. But they are created by people, owned by people, support people's lives, serve people. It's obvious but worth mentioning that FB isn't just a huge company, it's the center of an entire ecosystem of companies all made of people and it serves a large fraction of the entire planet. The scale alone makes it exceptional in how far-reaching the consequences are, both in the harm it can do (to privacy, etc) and how many people it seizing it can impact (employment, economics).

> The individuals making these decisions are almost certainly shielded from liability, and on top of that the fractional damage fines do to large companies tends to be a rounding error relative to profits. Companies should be fined comparable fractions of their income as humans, yet we persist in special treatment for them. Breaking up facebook is the only corrective action left with any teeth.

I feel like each of these remaining points are things where I may agree that element of the system needs fixing (fine scaling, officer indemnification, etc) but those being broken and notable examples of fat cats "getting away with it" (along with the feelings of moral outrage they evoke) don't necessarily support leaping to breaking up this company, in this unique context, based on this evidence.

> Breaking up facebook is the only corrective action left with any teeth.

If the goal is corrective more than punishment/deterrence, the I think there are probably some other options at least worth exploring. Some legal analysts have already suggested that going for a break up is a tactical first move by prosecutors to force a negotiated settlement that's less than prosecutors are now demanding but much more than Facebook is now willing to do.

Thanks for the thoughtful response!
