  1. #Linus #Torvalds bluntest opinion :

    " #Microsoft does a fair amount of OK applications, and some of them are outstanding.
    From an OS perspective, they just suck.
    From a moral perspective they sick even more.
    #Microsoft has been concentrating a bit too much on making money"

    Thisbcould apply to some supreme leader.. 😅

  2. I think this #Linus/#LTT video makes it very clear this thing I've always thought about #Linux - Linux has been for a while now, extremely ready for Developers and Tinkerers. Ready doesn't mean trouble-free, nope, but usable AND pleasant to use (a big productivity boost even in my case) - but will encounter issues that these groups of people will be able to solve, or, work around them with relative ease.

    For
    normies though, nah, it's def not ready to varying extents depending on who you are. This doesn't mean that they couldn't use Linux, cos it is indeed still usable and pleasant to use for ~90% of use cases - but they will most def encounter issues they absolutely would not be able to solve on their own, and we know how not a small number of people in the Linux user community are useless or even harmful and shouldn't be relied on for help (for these normies).

    For normies that still wish to use Linux, they def can but it's def highly recommended for them to only do so if they have someone (IRL) they can rely on for help - like any friends or fam members who are already using Linux, no different than when you're growing up and using
    #Windows/#macOS for the first time. Also, thanks to #Microsoft, the incentive to ditch Windows for something like Linux has been steadily growing and may even make the learning pains of using/experimenting with Linux more acceptable and worth it, compared to staying on a sinking ship that is Windows.

    These people however may also opt for macOS, tho I think the biggest blocker for
    #Apple from gaining market share in this space is the fact that their OS is locked to their hardware, and their hardware - as amazing as they are, are incredibly locked down and not upgradable/serviceable. Anyway, someday we may see the day where Linux is ~99-100% ready for normies, but today is def not the day. Videos like LTT's and maybe others too are good sources on why that is the case, to us who may already be too familiar with Linux to 'have the eyes' to see these issues. It's also why I started documenting my Linux Wiki in the first place, when I migrated away from Windows - as a reminder on the issues I stumble upon, and how I solved them.

  4. I couldn't get #Manjaro to install back on the laptop, so I put #Solus #Plasma back on. Now, for some reason, I can click on links in Thunderbird and #ZenBrowser behaves like it should.

    #Microsoft password service is still screwed nine ways to Sunday for one of my #Outlook accounts though.

  13. Modula-2, UCSD P-System, and the birth of Scala

    I stumbled across this tidbit from Hacker News.

    I never liked that #Borland stuffs. And used to program in #Pascal in #UCSD P-system (my alma mater). When I got to the US Department of Defense they wanted me for my #C and #COBOL skills and then they sent me to an Air Force School where I studied Modula-2 and Ada.

    I did a lot of work in Modula-2, which doesn't exist anymore. Modula-3 does, but in the meantime Scala was in the works. #Ada is still actually a thing. We didn't want clever, like those one liner #Perl challenges that folks use to put in their signature lines to demonstrate how clever they thought they were through obfuscation.

    Clever is bad. Clever opens up a whole universe of unexpected behavior and potential vulnerabilities. Maybe that's why #Rust became so organically popular - because it's safe by design and nowadays it's included in the Linux kernel more and more.

    When you're designing software for missle guidance systems you most certainly do not want clever. The job is simple and ambiguity is potentially catastrophic in warfare.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed this interview, I can identify with the #Timex_Sinclair - my dad bought me one and that membrane keyboard was horrendous, but I was persistent and eventually I was writing code in cutting edge languages on mainframes and #Vaxen.

    Many of the stories about how one thing or another came about were through frustrations; like the impetus for #Linus the #Linux kernel coz #MINIX just didn't cut it, and who wants to trodge through snow drifts in #Helsinki to the computer lab when you can be warm and cozy, drinking beers in your dorm room?

    This story is kinda like that too, which I can really appreciate, even though I've never played with #Scala.

    I hope you enjoy it too.

  16. El PC ideal de #Linus #Torvalds no busca la potència bruta, sinó la màxima estabilitat i silenci absoluta 🤫💻.

    Prioritats clares:

    ✅ Memòria RAM #ECC per evitar errors.
    ✅ Refrigeració per aire (res de líquids!).
    ✅ Flux d'aire natural amb la caixa @FractalDesign.
    ✅ Silenci total amb fonts sobredimensionades.

    Menys "gaming" i més fiabilitat per seguir picant el #Kernel de #Linux. 🐧🏗️
