Pretty sure it’s always been upfront with that it still tracks you? I always thought of it as a “don’t store history and cookies locally” thing and nothing more. Maybe I read that disclaimer with more cynicism than most?

Doesn’t take much to get death threats on the Internet, unfortunately. He probably would have received less of them with a better attitude, though. He wasn’t full-on Ulrich Drepper, but still pretty divisive.

It also didn’t help that Poettering isn’t particularly popular on a personal level. I think there would have been a lot less drama if he had better people skills.

Thank you for explaining that it was a joke.

That requires someone to look at that section in the IDE. If it doesn’t block the merge, it doesn’t do shit.

Golang won’t even compile with dead code. Unfortunately that’s too strict, you just end up commenting out the whole block instead. At least the commented out code is obvious in review, and some automated checks catch it if you have them.

I did the same thing with “DO NOT MERGE” back in the day. Saved some people who didn’t even know about the check.

I’m not sure which version of Gnome you used before, but Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome 2 and pretty popular. Looks fairly similar to Windows out of the box. Xfce is another popular choice.

I’m amazed people don’t get the reference to Gnome devs here. I’m not even a Gnome user and I got the joke right away.

If you have ssh/SCP you can use sshfs to mount the remote host as a fuse filesystem. That would let you edit files on your workstation, but more or less all other commands would still need to happen on the remote system.

So, you’re talking about ensuring the wl driver is loaded, but the dump at the end of your post says it’s using brcmsmac, a different driver for the same card. Looks like you have a mix of both now? It looks like https://wiki.debian.org/wl has a little script you can use to switch between the two, maybe try that.

Isn’t there a separate package with firmware? Maybe install firmware-brcm80211, firmware-misc-nonfree or something like that?

Thanks for the correction!

While Apple have contributed to WebKit, they did not make it. It started as a fork of KHTML, a KDE project.

Apple does have some open source contributions. One example is CUPS, which was made by Apple and is now used by most modern Linux distros for managing printers. If you want more examples you’ll have to ask someone who actually likes Apple, I’m sure they can think of more.
