schestowitzMicrosoft still wants to beat MacOS and Linux, they've just given up on the belief that you have to show up, and that you have to use Windows. You have shown them that no, in fact, you do not. You have shown them what a world without Windows looks like and it has frightened them to their core.Jul 09 00:10

schestowitzWhile they're adamant that they're not going to kill the Java version of the game, they're still launching "Minecraft for Windows 10," which is basically a hybrid of the lesser Xbox and Pocket versions. It works seamlessly between Windows 10, Xboxes and Windows tablets and phones...but no modding or playing on servers with Linux and OS X users. But you can play with "up to 7" friends on Xbox Live!Jul 09 00:11
schestowitzThey're introducing something new and shiny to distract Windows users, with enough PR speak to fuel the fanboys who will keep pushing the idea that this won't take away from the Java game, but the intent is clear: through initial convenience and misleading, kill the Java version and cross platform support with it.Jul 09 00:11

schestowitzMicrosoft makes $2 billion a year from patent licenses, meaning they can't just fire their lawyer department. The broken patent system is as much to blame as Microsoft here. Our economic structures are simply not set up in a way that allows Microsoft to do the right thing and not collect $2 billion.Jul 09 00:20
schestowitzThere's no mention of which software patents are being allegedly infringed, but there's a good chance it's about trivial things, such as a method for cutting a message in parts in order to transmit it over SMS.Jul 09 00:20

schestowitz"So, if Nadella went to the lawyer department and said, "Don't do that!", it would continue due to the patent system?"Jul 09 00:20
schestowitz"Yes, the software patent system makes it lucrative to be a patent troll for bullshit patents like "how to transmit a message in a number of smaller payloads". And in our economic system, shareholders will force a company to do the profitable thing, not the Right Thing. So he could fire the lawyer department, and then in the next shareholder meeting, he would be fired himself. A company will not willingly pass up the chance to make two Jul 09 00:21

schestowitzYou are correct and I agree but my point is, if Microsoft wanted to stop doing that, they could, no matter what anyone thinks of the patent system.Jul 09 00:21
schestowitzOf course, another question is, why is Microsoft wanting to a collect a mere $2 billion (relevant to their total income) at the harm and expense of others.Jul 09 00:21
schestowitz"Jul 09 00:21
schestowitz"Because that's $2 billion more they can report to their investors... They don't run the company for the good of the world, they run the company to make money. $2B is still like 2-3% of their annual revenue. That's not a small chunk of change to investors."Jul 09 00:21

schestowitz"No, you misunderstood, the reason the PS4 doesn't record more could be the file size, because they couldn't use this supposed "common" filesystem."Jul 09 00:23
schestowitz"Jul 09 00:23
schestowitzThe PS3 and PS4 are both using modified FreeBSD, they should have been able to use ext4 or btrfs or something. Also, since exFAT is flash drive optimized, they could alternatively have used F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System). The latter is still in development but pretty stable. Also, since most file systems except NTFS, exFAT, and HFS+ are not proprietary, they could have forked and modified one to their needs, it would only have to work Jul 09 00:24

schestowitzFAT32 because some people plug in external drives into their PS4s and expect to read their files anywhere else. NTFS and ext4 lead to complains when I tried. It's easier to assume (and use) the lowest common denominator.Jul 09 00:24
schestowitzThe Xbox 360 on the other hand did not use this advantage but added some strange NTFS derived hidden partition crap you had to hack around with parted if you wanted to use a storage device for anything else too.Jul 09 00:24
schestowitz"Jul 09 00:24
schestowitz"AFAIK both PlayStations use a modified UFS on their internal hard drive. Neither btrfs nor f2fs run on FreeBSD since they rely on the Linux kernel, while you only have a read-only driver for ext4 and ReiserFS, the only Linux fs with write support is ext2. FreeBSD doesn't have the filesystem utopia we know from linux, there isn't much choice. FAT32 is one of the only well supported filesystem not from the original Unix world"Jul 09 00:24

schestowitz"Windows doesn't accept there being other operating systems and tends to do shit like that. It's the main reason SAN switches were invented, for example.

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.softwarefreedom.org | Software Freedom Law CenterJul 09 00:37
schestowitzMost companies I am aware of release the sources. Since these sources are most of the time the least interesting bit (the magic is in the custom drivers / firmware blobs) this does not help much though.Jul 09 00:37
schestowitz    Sure a lot of home routers have the same problem, but I think Android phone/tablet usage and modding leaves many more users impacted than those who want to flash their consumer level routers.Jul 09 00:37
schestowitzIf the goal is freedom, I would say it is approximately the same number of people since approximately everyone who owns an android phone has access to the internet at home (and therefore a router). The amount of people modding their android phones is still small compared to the device count.Jul 09 00:38
schestowitzSo in essence, Android killed nothing, especially no concept of a kernel. Android under Google was never a system designed to be free in all aspects and it was clear from the beginning that Google wants to integrate it into its mostly proprietary infrastructure. This has nothing to do with Linux, Java or Android. It has to do with how most businesses work today.Jul 09 00:38

schestowitzI strongly disagree here. Android made it necessary for producers of hardware to make them work with Linux. This means that it has opened the way for better compatibility, it has also shown other companies that Linux presents big business opportunities. It takes time to cash in on this but it is happening.Jul 09 00:38
schestowitzThe advantage of Linux (compared to proprietary projects) is that even with a longer route to market it still has a high chance of being a profitable strategy. So big companies (and small) are working on Linux based offerings of all kinds.
