scienteswhen bobby-head politicians start say "*they* don't have rule of law" you know its a case of "of course you are, but what am i?"Aug 09 00:01

superkuhSounds like a tangential issue you have?Aug 09 00:02

scienteswhich is a totally different issueAug 09 00:03
MinceRi suspect there's no rule of law anywhereAug 09 00:03
scientesand Google (which is basically a branch of the state dept. now) and these other tech companies are not only above the law (In Peru their prices do not include VAT, which is illegal), but are a new fascist branch of the govt.Aug 09 00:04

schestowitzLinux is more successful than ever, and even Microsoft is adopting it to some extent, making a Linux VM an integral part of Windows 10, porting SQL Server to the operating system, and making Linux hosting a key part of its Azure cloud. That sounds like a big win for FOSS (free and open-source software), but Rankin said this is not really the case.Aug 09 09:46
schestowitzThe golden age of FOSS, Rankin argued, was around 2007 when Linux was mainstream in corporate IT and developers worked with it directly. Today, he says:Aug 09 09:46
schestowitzLinux and FOSS are more hidden than ever. So many of those FOSS projects on GitHub ultimately are used as building blocks for proprietary software. So many companies that seem to champion FOSS by helping upstream projects they rely on also choose to keep the projects they write themselves proprietary. Although Linux dominates the cloud, more and more developers and system administrators who use the cloud do so via proprietary APIs and Aug 09 09:46

oiaohmThings did really improve with OS X you did have to work to find faults.Aug 09 15:26
oiaohmThe most fun one in OS 9 was the fact you could make it blank out the system password by just powering off at wall at a particular point of startup.Aug 09 15:27
