not to be conspiratorial but stolen? or given away...

stay thoughtful and focused on the tech industry or other nerdy subjects and dont get emotional and make one line snarky comments that immediately attract an avalanche of downvotes and risk getting your account shadow banned.

people space, storage space, operations space... everythings a space? too basic? what about space and flow, flow of people, flow of light, flow of food, transitions etc... heh, this is fun

Cost is the primary constraint for most people and the tighter money is the more creative your solutions need to be.

seems like a made up hook, you come up with something. i like the "everythings a file" idea in linux. you can go a long way with a strong concept like that.

your example also reminded me about the "file over app" concept in Obsidian. this constrain actually limits and shapes the product decisions

judging from what i hear people say. all you have to do is be able to display who's online from your friends list, and a chronologically ordered list of their posts. thats it. the major platforms are optimising for ads so much they cant even achieve this level of basic functionality

interesting read, makes me think kernel programming isnt that much harder than app programming, just more manuals to read and hardware to understand.

edit: not to dismiss kernel programmers, you people are awesome!

Attention to detail is a lot more important. But the kernel is just a program.

try writing your own 512 bytes MBR sector.

It is so easy to learn x86 assembly that way, and actually understand WHY BIOS was so important.

Os development is so easy nowdays with internet forums...

It's exactly like that. :)

try it :D its a lot of fun!

being a bit of a masochist myself, with that user name you make a really tempting proposition

but violence doesnt work either, even if you conquer a whole nation (or social class or insert w/e here), you didnt really win and oneday they will get their revenge, so you're better off trying the non-violent way

Does anyone else see the disconnect between how Americans talk about our history compared to how we talk about political violence of today?

How can we glorify Thomas Jefferson and teach kids about him saying "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" only to then condemn the spilling of any modern blood? Truly what is the difference between torching a warehouse of toilet paper compared to tossing some tea in the harbor?

How can we condemn one and celebrate the other without being hypocrites?

Propaganda and "history is written by the victors"

Propaganda is the difference between rebels and freedom fighters.

I don't think anyone should be glorifying Jefferson.

You could have written L'Overture instead and it would have been a great example.

If Raymond Hill says blocking doesnt work anymore, ill use... umm... Lynx?

Most Americans Can't Afford This Basic...Commodity?

Very funny, thanks for adding that to my list of cynical ideas.

What, can't afford a Senator or two??

Not listening to users is what drove me away from windows. Not a fan of snaps either (or forced windows updates). Recently re-tried linux going to debian instead, which i really like. Reminds me of the old dos days. Gnome was a no-go, kde was nice but too buggy, cinnamon turned out to be perfect. So here i am, on linux finally, enjoying having my computer back and playing around like its 1992 again.
