Yeah, they are the two original founders and then he snagged his two cofounders from Viaweb who, I think, only worked part-time on YC.

He retired some years before her, which suggests to me this business is probably more "her baby" than his in some sense.

>If malware wasn't an issue with Linux running 90% of the servers on the planet, why would more desktop use matter?

Server admins are a different breed with different use cases than PCs.

One more time: you are arguing against a strawman. I've already shown I am not opposed to government intervention in principle.

>>This means relinquishing some individual freedom of choice and prioritizing our use of resources.

No, the existence of government and the pursuit of common goals through it does not require restricting any one's right to freely interact with other consenting adults, or depriving them of their private property.

I haven't heard anyone talk about DTI's in years. We used to call them "squirters". Takes me back to when I worked in the shop as a kid.

>That doesn't work the same way when anybody can fork it.

This is idealism. In reality, building and maintaining software takes incredible amounts of organization and labor.

>Okay, so Ubuntu had Amazon integration for a while. But Debian didn't. And because Debian didn't, and people didn't like it, Ubuntu took it back out.

As Ubuntu gets more mainstream, the percentage of users who agree with your opinion will shrink and those who disagree will grow, and Canonical will proportionally depend more on the latter.

>How's the outbreak of desktop spying that nobody asked for or wanted going on Windows?

I use Ubuntu LTS myself, but mainstream Windows users almost universally couldn’t care less about desktop spying on Windows. And I hate to break the news but they aren’t going to care if the same comes to Ubuntu either. Snap is already making it far easier.

>When the only way to put pressure on them there is to switch to an entirely different platform, that only works when you actually do it. Otherwise you're stuck with whatever they stick you with.

And that will eventually be the case with Mainstream Linux. That is the point here. Open source is not a magic solution and FLOSS under capitalism is a utopian fantasy that has seemed surprisingly possible so far, but it is likely that we are merely experiencing some of the best of times for desktop linux.
I made the decision to take the nearby fig, because, like, it's there, it's a little green, but hey, enjoy it! And I did. And you know what? After I awhile, I decided I didn't like it after all. I spit it out. I climbed for another fig, and even though I got that one too, it turns out...I really enjoy climbing for figs, perhaps more than I enjoy figs.
I guess everyone's journey is different.

Appreciate the response. That’s in line with my amateur musings.

It’s funny how it might be impossible to quantify but it’s often trivial to qualitatively know, “this ought to be way faster…” (but also the biases that make us think that given we don’t appreciate what some games have to do to render that state…)
> NAT not being designed for security does not negate the effect of security it does have.

This is true... but the security impact of NAT is negative. It provides no security benefit, but it does confuse people about the security properties of their network, often providing a false sense of security.
You're as much HN as anyone else here. Don't fall prey to the notice-dislike bias! It leads to an exceedingly negative false feeling of generality, in which the world seems dominated by whatever counts as the worst to you.

> No. This isn't a thing that happened.

Oh, I beg to differ. I saw many examples of this for certs my company had issued from a digicert private CA. Maybe this didn’t happen with certs from public web pki but I can assure you it did for private certs, for which browser support is still an important issue.

But I’ll admit this is moving the goalposts on you and your point is made. I still would prefer the more hard-ass approach but the reality is that consumer products are going to prefer ease of use over correctness, so what are you going to do.
Everything works well for me on Linux except MS teams.
My 12-year-old car plays MP3s via USB port, and that has worked excellent.
For certain distro + hardware it will certainly be. In my opinion, the Steam Deck is going to bring many new desktop users to the table. If Valve has brought their usual polish it will be Linux that 99% of people don't know is backed by a linux kernel (just like with Android). That's the beginning of the adoption and, if Valve is smart, they'll push for OEMs like Framework, System 76, etc to ship laptops with SteamOS 2 on them.
I learned of ADHD symptoms through a friend who got diagnosed and I've had other friends since recognise similarities and have asked me how I got evaluated

Sucks that there's people milking it for clout or whatever but it makes sense it's a word of mouth thing, I was never made aware of its existence or it's symptoms in school or anything. If you go by my education the only mental disorder that exists is depression

As for depression that has seemingly turned out to have been a side effect of untreatment. I've been sad or unhappy and all the normal down emotions but the depression basically dropped to nothing. Anxiety is falling away slowly too

I'm in the UK too so it's like a tenner a month for the prescription, probably not a money thing here at least

Similarly to how self diagnosis isn't the way don't self-undiagnose yourself either if you're suspecting something, ask a doctor rather than a web forum
If you have OP's level of control over the hardware (ie; you have a dedicated server on which you can access the hypervisor), then taking incremental backups of the entire VM is the best way to ensure you can hit the big undo button if anything goes wrong.

The most important, and neglected, part of backup & restore, is the restore. If resources permit, this is where I like to use a battle tested solution instead of rolling my own with scripts. For my self hosted servers I use Veeam, but there are many good alternatives.

It's nice having the option to restore the entire VM to a specific state, and to also be able to mount backups and pull files if only a few need to be restored. It's also handy to be able to spin up a backup into its own virtual machine.

The banks are going to require you provide an explanation and documentation for where all funds came from for the past several months. Besides they’re going to be looking at your annual income anyways — one time cash drops are only useful for making a larger deposit. But they’re not dumb enough to use a one-time infusion to calculate your debt to income ratio.

Clap (+structopt) is such an amazing tool that it's one of the core reasons I prefer Rust-made CLIs: the help messages and descriptions make sense to me. Basically every Rust CLI project will use clap/structopt, and the consistency wins are also great.

I'm interested to see whether people will continue to use structopt (which is a high-level macro interface on top of clap), or if they'll just use the new macro features in clap itself.
- Why do i need to conform to social mores?
- Why must i accommodate myself to "popular culture"

My response to this is because people who conform to social mores and have at least a little accomodation to popular culture are more interesting and relatable people. People who don't are grating and can be very difficult to live with and be around.

Being able to relate to and get along with others makes life a whole lot more fulfilling.

Windows and Mac has flexibility too. You could pay for software on Windows/Mac and find it doesn't meet your needs. Often many software vendors for Windows end up selling something akin to spyware.

Really what it comes down to is what distro you choose, and audio hasn't been an issue for probably 10 years. Recent changes with Pulse Audio and then Pipewire makes audio "just work".

You have to also remember that both Mac and Windows don't come without pain points and often I see people that are "set in their ways" simply because they don't like change, not because Windows/Mac makes things inherently easier. I personally find at this point Linux to be easier to get things done quickly. For example, with Windows installing the OS and then multiple updates, then re-configuring settings to disable telemetry, online account notifications, driver update shenanigans where Windows reverts drivers, etc takes far longer. Once you have a good dotfile setup on Linux things are a breeze.

Windows unattended setups are just as frustrating. With Linux, everything is scriptable in a more common sense fashion from my experience. With Windows, depending on the tool you have to use Powershell, VBScript, Batch, or some half-baked EXE to get things done.

Yeah, but how's the seek time affected on the reticulating magneto heads when the hydraulic torque is off by 1/1000th milli-Netwon-bars of mercury inches? And does it affect the read and write times equally?
I turned on a Windows 7 machine twice in 2021, for about 20 minutes each time.

I agree. There was a TIL thread on Reddit a few years ago about how smarter people are usually more depressed -- low and behold everyone in the comments was lamenting over how cursed they were to carry the burden of their intellect. No one really pointed out that if you were on one of the most popular websites on the planet in a default subreddit, chances were you were pretty average with average intelligence.

We fetishize intelligence too much as a society and too many don't understand what it really is and how it can differ. It's nice to imagine a world where we valued empathy as much as intelligence.

> For example, Many Worlds theory (from my admittedly limited understanding) says that the wave function's eigenstates each become the new reality in different universes

That's perhaps the Narcissistic Many Worlds interpretation. Another way of thinking about Many Worlds is that there's only one universe, in which: after measuring a particle in a superposition of two states, you are now in a superposition of two states. Each of the superimposed you states thinks your instrument measured a single clear result.

The wavefunction of the universe goes on propagating as usual, including both of the superimposed yous, but within each of the superimposed states, that you thinks that it has witnessed wavefunction collapse.

A reasonably good start:

Business oriented: try your hand at any of the best books on x, by forbes. Google the list "forbes list of best books". Its prob circa 2010ish. They put books on leadership (annapurna, great read), entrepreneurship, product (beijing jeep), etc etc. Some really solid stuff

Pulitzer lists: Just go on wikipedia anf look at winners by year. For example, controversial but interesting : guns germs and steel.

Reco engines: I think i used tastekid a loog time ago. Type in a book, it would give you recommendations on books you might like. With advances in ML, I'm sure there are tons of engines doing the same now
I expect you already have some books you’ve been ‘noticing’. They might get recommended a lot on Hacker News - Atomic Habits, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, A Thousand Brains, that sort of thing. Time to learn what all the fuss is about!

A habit I’ve picked up is to follow the deaths of famous authors (the NYT will feature one on regularly on their home page). When that happens, I like to read about their life and oeuvre and pick up one of their most famous books, which is usually both very interesting and worthwhile.

You can also just go to Barnes and Noble and wander around. Find the genre you like, poke around, and you’ll probably recognize some of the titles or authors, which is often a good sign.

If you have some favorite authors, look up their lesser known books! The fact that you liked their other work is a good sign.

Over time, you will develop a long list of books on your list so you can start getting more selective. Check the Goodreads reviews. Try to understand how this book fits into the bigger picture and whether it or the subject seem significant to you.

Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong early on. Imagine you were just being exposed to film/tv for the first time and you ask for recommendations. ‘I dunno, Breaking Bad? The Godfather? Titanic?’ Even though there’s a lot of trash out there, the best books, like the best movies, are easy to find and there are tons of rankings and compilations.
Competition Commission of India orders probe against Apple
Yeah, if you are into games and not just a few specific ones then Windows is still it. Linux has gotten a lot better in this regard, but you will always be missing out on something you want to play.

Software compatability is Windows primary selling point. Well, that and it being the OS that is bundled with almost every new PC.

I don’t mind Windows 10/11 as much as others. The “house” ads for their own products are an annoyance, but I accept that as it being largely free. I think it is better than anything Microsoft has ever put out.

XP gets a lot of love, but it had a terrible default UX and was so insecure it spawned the antivirus industry. I don’t really understand when people look back on the halcyon days of Windows, because it was a second rate OS more often than not. My memory of XP was it being severely out classed by both Linux and OSX, but as is the case now, though to a lesser extent, Windows had the software compatability.
> This is idealism. In reality, building and maintaining software takes incredible amounts of organization and labor.

All of the work is already being done. Debian is a community distribution and is one of the most popular.

> As Ubuntu gets more mainstream, the percentage of users who agree with your opinion will shrink and those who disagree will grow, and Canonical will proportionally depend more on the latter.

Yet Debian will still exist.

> I use Ubuntu LTS myself, but mainstream Windows users almost universally couldn’t care less about desktop spying on Windows.

Nobody wants the spying. If your choices are get spied on or pay the full cost of a platform transition away from one that has been spending billions of dollars for decades to keep you locked into it, some people are still moving away from it over this! If you gave them the choice without the transition cost, basically nobody would choose the spying.

Which is the thing you get when forks are possible, because somebody just forks it and removes the malware. This is a characteristic of the license.

> Open source is not a magic solution and FLOSS is simply unsustainable under capitalism.

This is a weird position to take when it clearly already exists. Would having more users make community development less sustainable? There would be more members of the community so the average one would have to do less work to produce the same software.

Even if 99% of the new users are non-developers, the 1% who are makes it easier rather than harder to sustain.
I’ll join you when there’s a variety of high quality ARM based workstations on the market.
> People are not developing major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders from not being on ADHD medications, at least not on the scale you’re referring to.

Evidence for this? ADHD meds have completely made my depression/anxiety go away because I'm no longer fighting with my brain. This has been the experience for dozens of other people that I know.

> Because they are not medical professionals. What they want needs to be vetted and discussed with a doctor.

Yeah. It's a schedule 2 drug. Which means you *need* to discuss it with a doctor anyway.

I still disagree with it being a scheduled drug. I wonder how many people are in prison because of self medication?

The code is the same, yes. The "binaries" are not, necessarily. The build environment isn't exactly the same and there have been bugs experienced in CentOS that weren't in RHEL and vice versa.

Ohhh. I'm sorry to hear that. I'd like to wish you a painless remission, and at the very least, a peaceful life.
Basics first:
The brain is an organ. Physical health and brain health and mental health are deeply interconnected. Find a physical activity that you can do several times a week with minimal motivation. Bonus points if you get friends into the same activity, or the activity is something like a martial arts gym. Accountability to others is an incredibly powerful motivation. Use it for both long term habits (daily fitness routine), and one time large goals (I'll lose 50 lbs this year or I own my friend $200).

Optional but valuable: learn how to cook [healthy] food that tastes good. This plays into fitness, and also can become a hobby. At a minimum learn 1-2 dishes suitable for bringing to a party.

This last one took me the longest: Find out how to truly relax. This is where it comes full circle, and you learn to use your thoughts to control the body. The Reveri app hypnosis routines were helpful to me along this journey.
