Canadian, sysadmin, trans rights are human rights, puncha-the-nazis, cats are pretty great, GNU Terry Pratchett.
I don’t think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.
So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.
They also tend to have linux support. Where the AAA companies want to eat the entire mammoth and scorn the scraps, small companies can thrive off of small prey and the offal. :)

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.
“Hey let’s make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds”
yeah, I haven’t had issues getting a webcam to work in years, just plug and go
That would be a very interesting virus.
I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.
I’m hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that ‘growth at any cost’ mindset.
I didn’t say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.
This is a perfect example of someone saying “I like beans” and someone responding “WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER” or something. :P
It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.
$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.
Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.
Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.
Not necessarily, I find it moronic too. Like why is it even a discussion? Let people do what they want. It doesn’t harm anyone and might make them a lot happier.
I have always been partial to ‘sysop’ but I like sysadmin too.
I have crowdsec on a bunch of servers. It’s great and I love that I’m feeding my data to the swarm.
I don’t even have a licence. I’d take it. Those gave pretty okay resale value. ^_-
Really threw yourself into the deep end there, nice. Hashtags team debian.
“I’m having trouble with this game on Linux”
“Just install Windows, nerd. Stupid zealots.”
Goes the other way too. :p
Have you tried installing Linux?
The cheaters and cheat developers will just move to Windows, and the legitimate Linux users will quit. I don’t see the upside, this doesn’t solve the problem.
