| r_schestowitz | Main issue with RISC-V is companies like HexFive[0] and projects like Keystone[1] are trying to add treacherous computing support.[2] Hex Five is part of the RISC-V foundation and partnered with SiFive, Microsemi, Andes Technology, and AdaCore. Keystone is supported by MIT and and Berkley. The value of RISC-V depends on how irrelevant HexFive and Keystone become. | Nov 13 04:13 |

| r_schestowitz | I've been using Linux for years (I develop linux based embedded product and software), but it's still hard to find an excel replacement - sure the open source spreadsheets work for small amounts of data, but try adding large quantities of data like a municipal would have and they will struggle (as I discovered some time ago when receiving spreadsheets from a local council will a large set of data points, openoffice/libre office couldn't | Nov 13 05:48 |

| r_schestowitz | As much as Linux users would like it not to be, it's true that Linux is a horrible home/office system. | Nov 13 05:48 |
| r_schestowitz | It lacks a standardized, powerful GUI, drivers support is non-existent, many, many functionalities are just a tiny bit from working like they should and the solution is usually to do magic via the terminal. | Nov 13 05:48 |
| r_schestowitz | I mean, in a server scenario those flaws are minor inconveniences that can be easily mitigated, I'm not saying that Linux is shit, but on a home machine it simply doesn't work. | Nov 13 05:48 |
| r_schestowitz | Source: Installed Ubuntu on my laptop because it's old shit that cannot handle Windows 10. I am a programmer, so I should have at least some clue how to handle Linux, but still it gives me a headache when I'm using it in other context than a software development workstation. | Nov 13 05:48 |

| r_schestowitz | I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. | Nov 13 05:52 |
| r_schestowitz | Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. | Nov 13 05:52 |
| r_schestowitz | There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: | Nov 13 05:52 |
| r_schestowitz | the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux. | Nov 13 05:52 |

| r_schestowitz | That is not a desktop distribution. Many uses linux servers in their set ups, the somewhat unique aspect about the Munich implementation was that they also replaces desktops with Linux. In the more common scenario that servers are replaces Microsoft would still have the client/desktop business and they would probably not act as forcefully as they did now. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | Microsoft has AFAIK never embraced desktop linux, SpehereOS is a server OS. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | Microsoft has integrated a the Linux Kernel via virtual machines into WSL2 now but that's still far from an embrace of desktop linux or even a real linux distribution since it relies on a lot of windows stuff to function. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | The "embrace" is real if microsoft sells an linux desktop distribution to their clients, not before that. AFAIK Microsoft has never directly supported or been contributing to anything within the gnome/freedesktop/xorg space. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | Microsoft has only embraced linux for real on the server/cloud provider side. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | I just don't see the embrace or the extend of this situation. | Nov 13 06:08 |
| r_schestowitz | Sure, I guess that WSL2 can be used to run GTK Linux apps under windows or something. If you see that as an embrace+extend of the Linux desktop it's up to you, I don't. | Nov 13 06:08 |

| r_schestowitz | I don't think there are any real competitors to microsoft on the desktop side except maybe Apple marketshare wise right now.

| r_schestowitz | From what I understand Microsofts target with WSL(2) seems to be making Linux based developer tools available in windows, not really aimed for end user applications. | Nov 13 06:09 |

| r_schestowitz | I can't help but be reminded that Microsoft already had their own version of UNIX back in the 1980's. It was called Xenix. Xenix ran on the Motorola 68000 as well as the Intel 80286. | Nov 13 06:09 |
| r_schestowitz | They basically gave it up. Probably because they had to pay licenses for it. They don't like sharing. | Nov 13 06:09 |
| r_schestowitz | So, now they have bought a seat on the Linux Foundation and have their own version of Linux. | Nov 13 06:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Why do people think this is a good thing? | Nov 13 06:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Microsoft invented Embrace, Extinguish and Extend. They are the king of dirty tricks. | Nov 13 06:09 |
| r_schestowitz | If they had wanted to produce UNIX, they could have continued developing Xenix. That's not the goal. | Nov 13 06:09 |

| r_schestowitz | It's more slow and insideous things. More and more FOSS projects are willing to implement things like DRM in order to "allow modern technologies (like netflix) to work properly".

| r_schestowitz | basically as locked down and controlled as Windows and Mac OS. At this point, if it has less general market share, and is less generally "usable" with less software support, there will be literally no point in anyone using it for anything. | Nov 13 06:11 |

| r_schestowitz | There were two particular problems with the switch to LiMux in Munich that are probably an obstacle in any such scenario. The departments used a lot of custom software written for the Windows platform, so even with a functioning Linux desktop, they had to connect to a Windows Terminal Server to access their applications. | Nov 13 06:12 |
| r_schestowitz | The other problem I heard on a talk that was given by the guy in charge of the switch (name escapes me): They had loads of custom applications in every department, most of them written in Excel, to solve tiny local problems, and those proved to be a tough nut to crack. I think the magnitude of the change was underestimated, time frames were unrealistic, and there was a lot of frustration on all sides involved. | Nov 13 06:12 |
| r_schestowitz | In my opinion, the switch back to Windows does not make sense at all at this point, though, because it will be just as expensive to roll back all the changes. Or roll forward in some way. ;) The IT world is much more cross-platform these days. | Nov 13 06:12 |

| r_schestowitz | Well. Most of the staff had to be retrained to use their custom distro and they hated it. IT support and management was a nightmare. I have to agree on those points. I dont think the project role out was planned perfectly. Having just Linux can be done but it's not a real replacement for Microsoft services and features. It's just an alternative and the requires everyone to get out of their way just to use it. | Nov 13 06:13 |

| r_schestowitz | The only difference between FOSS and proprietary is the license. It's perfectly possible to create FOSS alternatives for every proprietary piece of software. In theory, this should be easier and cheaper than using proprietary software because you can use and enhance existing projects while companies like Microsoft usually don't care much about that because they can't sell code someone else wrote, which means every company has their own | Nov 13 06:14 |

| r_schestowitz | Right, how can free open-source software replace proprietary software that most companies rely on and have support contracts for? It can't. Most of the Foss is alternatives and does not and function as well. That's why there are contracts with Microsoft and Microsoft must support software as per contractual obligation. The only other solutions out there are the ones offered by redhat. Those are used but they don't solve all the issues. | Nov 13 06:14 |

| r_schestowitz | AD doesn't only manage file permissions. That's easy with any LDAP implementation and user groups and even Posix ACLs. AD can change how operating system works on a fundamental level using "policies". Admins can control almost anything a user can do on their computer. From limiting customizations like desktop background to how and when updates are delivered on the computer and which applications from which channels can be installed. | Nov 13 06:16 |
| r_schestowitz | There are solutions like KDE's Kiosk but they are limited in functionality and lack the deep integration AD has. | Nov 13 06:16 |

| r_schestowitz | No one would have trouble with a Windows like DE. Microsoft makes changes to their DE in each release but companies don't shut down because of an upgrade. Some of my coworkers actually had to learn bash for some reason. I think it was for database operations or something. | Nov 13 06:17 |
| r_schestowitz | The real issue is all the embedded software we use. We have X-ray machines, P&P machines, and laser engravers some of which have moving parts that will hurt you if you aren't careful. Even if somone made all that work in WINE, safe operation isn't guaranteed by the vendor anymore. Using Windows in some places and Linux distros in others just wouldn't make sense. | Nov 13 06:17 |

| r_schestowitz | The answer here isn't to just run back to Microsoft's teet. Instead, you should undergo the teething process learning the new distro, and pay developers to replace any Microsoft services which aren't available. Even if it ends up costing $100,000,000, it's worth it to not be dependent on a single company going forward. | Nov 13 06:17 |
| r_schestowitz | That said, most of the "It can't do everything the Microsoft one can" argument is usually facetious anyway. Yes, it's technically true, but not many organisations actually use all the features of the Microsoft service, and can usually find ways around the systems they do use (even if it means changing their workflow slightly). Instead of sitting down with developers and IT staff and doing some problem solving, we instead see management | Nov 13 06:17 |

| r_schestowitz | What is this bullshit in particular about?

| r_schestowitz | Longtime readers of ours saw us covering many angles of this since around 2007. The subject has not been explored by the media for at least half a year, which makes one wonder; is media in general dying or is media discouraged from revisiting this matter? | Nov 13 06:19 |
| r_schestowitz | Maybe, just maybe it's not a worldwide conspiracy (there generally aren't those) but because you're reporting on non-stories on how a city can choose between following a contract or stepping out. | Nov 13 06:19 |
| r_schestowitz | The problem here from a FOSS perspective is clearly that they did not feel like they would manage to close their Microsoft support channels altogether and thought the added cost to use Microsoft software was then worth it and some are now all sour grapes about it. | Nov 13 06:19 |
| r_schestowitz | But there is really zero controversy in being so overly dependant on Microsoft products that you can't step out. I wish they had planned better for abandoning Microsoft 100% (SERVER and CLIENT and SUPPORT) before moving to FOSS in the first place. This reads like a half assed effort where they half used MS shit all along while using FOSS and still had these contractual dependencies on them, so excuse me but WTF was the point.

| r_schestowitz | When support for the Windows version Munich was using ended, Microsoft was telling them to buy some alternative for a very high price. | Nov 13 06:26 |
| r_schestowitz | Munich felt pushed around by the price demanded, and decided it didn't like being dependent on a monopolist who could dictate terms. | Nov 13 06:26 |
| r_schestowitz | They did some research and calculated that switching to Linux would be equally efficient, cheaper in the long run, and an improvement in terms of data protection. | Nov 13 06:27 |
| r_schestowitz | When the reigning mayor ended his last term, a year or so after the transition was finished, the new mayor reverted everything back to Windows because, as he more or less admitted, basically he was too lazy to get used to a new system, and in turn Microsoft moved its headquarters into Munich. | Nov 13 06:27 |

| r_schestowitz | sure, that's a factor, but in the end because the mayor didn't want to learn Linux. | Nov 13 06:27 |
| r_schestowitz | the way the headline is worded its like Microsoft was actively forcing them to do something, or removing all the options. it sure sounds like they just offered a deal if Munich moved back with them, but they didnt force the mayor to do it | Nov 13 06:27 |

| r_schestowitz | True, in context, and this is a very poorly written article that really doesn't give much information. | Nov 13 06:27 |
| r_schestowitz | From what I've read before, though, Microsoft aggressively pushed the 'Total Cost of Ownership' argument that Windows was lower than Linux, warping the perspective that the city's taxpayer money was being badly spent, and they did everything they could to undermine the project. So knowing that extra info, the title is more accurate. I don't remember if MS honestly did move into Munich as a direct result of the new Mayor's decision but | Nov 13 06:27 |

| r_schestowitz | The mayor in the interview basically summarized that the new right-leaning government needed to kill off a marquee project of the outgoing left government to show that they were changing things, since of course all the initiatives of the outgoing government were garbage by definition. | Nov 13 06:28 |

| r_schestowitz | The problem is that doing this locally would generate additional costs and tensions as you would need to assure interoperability - word-libreoffice, file-sharing, irs software compatibility, often software and hardware tokens etc. Easier is going from top and by changing bid procedure and assumptions (fe.

| r_schestowitz | Maybe so... but the top-down approach means all your faults happen to a full country. The one-at-a-time approach means you can risk very little, and individual organizations can accomodate for their individual needs. | Nov 13 06:30 |

| r_schestowitz | The database? It really should be on a proper server anyway. | Nov 13 06:30 |
| r_schestowitz | If the file sharing is Dropbox, GoogleDrive, or based on a school's platform, it's probably fine.

| r_schestowitz | Windows fucking sucks though. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this type of shit if Windows was, you know, actually a usable OS. | Nov 13 06:30 |
| r_schestowitz | Today I wanted to transfer 35gb of files (Sims 4 mods to be exact) from one SSD to another SSD. I was booted into my Windows installation and decided to do the transfer from there. The estimated time was 2 hours and 45 minutes and it was transferring my shit at 2.4mb per second. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | 2.4mb per second. On a fucking solid state drive. I know it was a bunch of small files which slows bulk transfers down but come the fuck on. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | So I shut it down, booted into my Linux partition and reattempted the same exact file transfer. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | I got 346mb per second and it finished in 1 minute. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | I had time to finish the mod folder transfer, copy Sims 4 into my ext4 partition, configure wine and get the game running on Linux in less time than it would have taken just to copy the mod folder on Windows by itself. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | Seriously, fuck Windows 10. | Nov 13 06:31 |
| r_schestowitz | Sure, I could reinstall Windows and maybe get good performance for a few months until it fucks itself up again but I don't have time for that. I shouldn't have to lose all my data, reinstall Windows then spend 2 weeks reinstalling all my programs just to never get it back to the way it was just for it to eventually fuck up again despite antivirus and adblock on everything just so I can reinstall and do all that shit again. | Nov 13 06:31 |

| r_schestowitz | " | Nov 13 22:25 |
| r_schestowitz | I beg to disagree with Sing-A-Pore. I have always thought that the job of a representative is to obtain the largest protection possible for his client, and that is what they are trained for when sitting the EQE. If depending on the state of the art, only limited protection is available, then why not. But certainly not in general. | Nov 13 22:25 |
| r_schestowitz | An examiner never knows whether the application he is deciding upon will be commercially interesting or not. Simply banking on the absence of an opposition or litigation is not what an examiner should have in mind. This is for me not a good or wise examiner, but an examiner wanting to get its points as quickly as possible. | Nov 13 22:25 |
| r_schestowitz | How can the examiner decide from his desk that the patent he is granting will not inconvenience anyone? This seems quite preposterous to me, not to say arrogant. | Nov 13 22:25 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Call to readers: let's talk about patent quality - The IPKat | Nov 13 22:25 | |
| r_schestowitz | I would go as far as to claim that the representative and the examiner are dragging money out of the client’s pockets by granting a patent which has hardly any value. This is not the job of an examiner or of a representative. | Nov 13 22:26 |
| r_schestowitz | I maintain that an examiner having never refused an application is not a good examiner. It is clear that writing a refusal which withstands scrutiny of a board of appeal is a task which needs more time than to decide a grant for reasons which are never made public. Hence my comment on the quick points. | Nov 13 22:26 |
| r_schestowitz | And when you know for a fact that it is common practice in high producing directorates that what the primary examiner decides is endorsed by the two other members, it confirms that simply having the production target in mind is not rendering a service to the public at large. | Nov 13 22:26 |

| r_schestowitz | Thx for your clear overview as to the constitutional complaint. I fully agree that they are not at all esoteric. Anyone qualifying them as such does not do justice to the merits of the questions (irrespetive of their answers).
