  • Why would it be obvious? In-between cats and Linux it could be veterinary theory, social media theory, computer science theory, math theory. How would one think anything political is involved, let alone something as specific.

    To be clear, nothing wrong with you not mentioning it in the original comment, but I’m very confused on why you thought it was obvious.


  • They know. But many people will look at the screw, see it’s some weird thing they don’t have a screwdriver for, and decide to take the car to an authorized dealership instead of trying to repair an issue themselves.

    Some will just buy the special screwdriver. But that doesn’t matter, what’s important is that some won’t, and the line goes up. You also have to look at it as yet another small barrier to repairability. It’s not stopping you by itself, but every single barrier adds up and stops more people.

    How is this different then? We have a progressive guy who keeps going against conservatives and against big tech, and liked when the broken clock Trump did something good for once and appointed an anti big tech person to head an anti trust division. How is this different from people liking the Department of War name change?

    There are still many things that don’t work on Wayland, which work perfectly fine on X11. If you don’t need any of them then Wayland is perfectly fine, but many people do need them.

    For example programs can’t read from or interact with windows of other programs, so for example a time tracking application can’t work, or productivity scripts using xdotool don’t have a Wayland way to work.

    Both of these use cases are needed to me.



  • I think if you can apply by just clicking an “apply” button then I wouldn’t expect much attention from their side either, how are you doing it? On some job seeking platform?

    Every time I applied somewhere I had to spend some time customizing my CV to the job listing, researching the company to write a compelling cover letter (and to find out if I want to apply in the first place), and probably filling out a long form on their application portal. It takes at least 30 minutes per company, which is quite a lot of work when sending many applications.

    But the concept of just being able to click “apply” somewhere seems weird to me, sure, saves a lot of time, but then is anyone even reading your application?

    Australia (country) has Timor Sea and Arafura Sea on the north, not an ocean. But New Guinea belongs to Australia (continent), so it doesn’t actually matter, both sides of the sea are the same continent. Unless we consider only the main landmass of each continent and ignore all islands.

    Panama, with it’s canal, is entirely in North America too, so the canal doesn’t matter anyway.


  • This is a discussion you can absolutely have. But “missing the point of a union” and being “anti-union” are very different things.

    “Anti-union” is Rockstar for firing 31 employees in a union bust, or Amazon for having employees watch mandatory propaganda videos about how unions are evil. Lumping them together with a business owner who basically said “I hope the good relationship I have my employees lasts and nobody starts feeling like they need additional support when talking with me” is at best misleading.

    I think your for the sake of the argument example is exactly what Linus had in mind, where he would consider it his failure if it happened and hopes it won’t. But if it does and employees unionise, so be it.
