Re:Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @08:34AM (#24491986)
Why doesn't someone like, say, TSMC acquire VIA in a deal where M&A experts do all their jugglery and cunning to make the licensing stay I wonder?

On that note, what's interesting is nobody on earth ever notes that Snowden was cia before nsa. Nsa and cia jostle for power all the time.

Thinking about it, it obviously makes sense. These are people who want to be approached by anyone and everyone and will sell to the highest bidder.
This a meaningless post. Nobody can argue here in favor of professor without getting istaflagged and banned. So what is the point? Just mutual admiration in conformity?

LinkedIn is pure cancer. They actively tempt you to message your contacts in a way where you think that the recepient would welcome your message right now but it's an opposite situation. This at best creates a communication gap and is at worst rude and might break up communication.

I'm shocked that Microsoft which is primarily bases on trust as far as corporate stuff is concerned went for linkedin. I hope they sell them or just burn them.

Nothing good can ever come out of linkedin they have less ethics than facebook and twitter.

By design though, like most mass media sites.
I don't disagree with you on Anny point but you cheat when you say you want to run it on phone. Windows Phone was a miles ahead of droid and iOS and lost only due to the anti-microsoft culture of silicon valley. (Unless you want torun windows desktop on phone in which case just buy a netbook)
Reddit front page is deliberately designed to keep you agitated on one hand and then keep coming back for some soothing oxytocin rush as the antidote on the same page.

Also, most "general" subs celebrate mediocrity.

This is very nice and renders the OP useless. OP itself is another attack vector. Do you know what syscall API knockd uses to listen to "link" ?

You are reducing attack vectors. How do you know your ssh implementation is secure?

Why don't you use one of the olden and golden wm's for that? i3 doesn't have alt-tab

Qt creator is 100 MB and starts in 3 seconds. Why do you (even favourably) compare it to node?

Also, qtcreator is pretty darn good for Rust too

Thank you! No ttf/otf though :)

As someone who respects functional programming (because it removes geniuses from competing in my space) here's a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwI

What is the beautiful monospace font in the pdf here http://brendanfong.com/programmingcats_files/cats4progs-DRAF...?

Re:Git-Based Wiki on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @08:20AM (#24352488)
On that note github needs to merge wiki has a feature rather than a tack on. http://github.com/yearoflinux/DesktopInfinity/wiki should actually be a folder rather than a separate repo. What this means is that all my contributions to wiki would be versioned and wiki won't fall out of date. Perhaps add a mechanism to auto-approve all commits that only touch the said path.
Re:PinePhone Manjaro Community Edition on Monday August 31, 2020 @08:56AM (#24330960)
As someone who has always made fun of "year of linux on desktop", I want to say this move will finally pave a way for the next decade to end with "year of linux on mobile". Using a popular distro will be the push linux needed on phone. While Manjaro users themselves (IMHO) aren't really developers, this is gateway to get Arch people involved. Arch is a very vibrant community with a lot of people who try to contribute back. Good decision. Can't wait to use netcat for quick chat with friends :)

(PS: I know supremacists will claim Android is linux but the thing about supremacists is they no real ideals so they will ignore how close Android is)
