    Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.

    Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

    Azure don’t give a shit what it runs. Windows is on its own these days; if they succeed, good for them, but honestly I think the days of Microsoft just pretending to give a shit about Linux are long gone; it’s an important OS to them too.

    I’ve worked for Microsoft for 12 years, still have lots of friends there so I get some of the vibe from that.

    Putting Red hat in the same group as Google and Microsoft is wild.

    bizarroland ,

    That's because Red hat recently started doing some Microsoft and Google like shit.

    Ashiette ,

    It’s not that far fetched, Google used to have somehow the same philosophy as current IBM-RedHat.

    themoonisacheese ,
    @themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

    While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

    LeFantome ,

    You people are hilarious. Red Hat provides more GPL code than any company I can think of. Half of what people call GNU has Red Hat as the largest contributor.

    Feels before reals.

    bizarroland ,

    If you don't like what they are doing with Linux, because it is free and open source, participate in people that are using it in ways that you do like that they do it, or do it yourself.

    Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

    I love it™ (The nested parentheses are one of the greatest tools known to mankind (And to all other creatures))

    To paraphrase an old tweet: “parentheses - for when every thought comes with bonus sub-thoughts”.

    I have been stopping myself from using those and instead restructure my sentence. But if people like it, guess I can start keeping it.

    I do find it more useful, however, to have a kind of a reference to the thing written at the end instead [1], but markdown doesn’t seem to have anything for that, and using the syntax for Markdown references, is only useful for hyperlinks, or if the reader is willing to read the hover text [2](nolink "Like This. But even though I write "nolink", that is still some text that gets converted to a link, making it upto the reader to read the address bar and realise the problem").

    [1]: Like This. I would love it if the markdown viewer would link the above [1] to this line. Maybe with a scrolldown effect.

    MBM ,

    Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[they work like this: ^[text here]]

    pelya ,

    Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

    And automatically numbered too! Nice.

    Though for me, instead of a scrolldown effect, it reloads the page on clicking the link. Trying a second time, it does the scrolldown properly. Weird
    But that’s just an implementation detail and as long as this is standard, I’ll just start using it.

    Thanks

    roguetrick ,

    Well ain’t that some shit. It would make my comments more readable to a degree^[not that I’d ever use it]. I also like how they have return links for when you have some monster text wall that nobody would ever read in the first place on this platform.

    I’ve had a teacher in elementary school scream at me for doing so. (Nesting parentheses is forbidden. [You are supposed to use brackets.])

    pelya ,

    It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

    @sramder@lemmy.world avatar

    I had a teacher that screamed at me for “taking the lords name in vain…” They’re definitely wrong from time-to-time ;-)

    abfarid ,
    @abfarid@startrek.website avatar

    Some of those parens could’ve been replaced with commas and retain their meaning (that’s what I do to avoid nesting, so that it doesn’t get confusing).

    Tlaloc_Temporal ,
    @Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

    Wait until you need nested commas, those lists won’t delineate themselves!

    Not as good as my other primary languages, I have to admit. Finnish has too many consonants for my taste.

    VindictiveJudge ,

    Or he could have used brackets.

    abfarid ,
    @abfarid@startrek.website avatar

    I’ve never seen that being used, but it seems it’s a thing in English. What if you wanna best deeper? Do you go {}? Then <>? «»?

    Thought I was the only one noticed abundance of the parenthesis

    Funny how he made it basically for his desktop computer.

    33 years later, and Linux is dominating in every part of the OS world except … the desktop.

    (I’m paraphrasing his quote – he said something like this years ago, can’t find it, though.)

    AccountMaker ,

    You might be thinking of this:

    youtu.be/ZPUk1yNVeEI?feature=shared

    Where he mentioned that the desktop is unique in that it has to support thousands of different devices for all kinds of people, and that most people don’t really care what their computer is running as long as it works.

    psycho_driver ,

    I would argue that it does dominate the desktop now as well, just not by usage numbers.

    If I was told I had to use a windows desktop these days at home I think I’d start investing in a very large book collection.

    CaptPretentious ,

    You have to use a Windows desktop at home.

    I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

    I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(

    thingsiplay ,

    (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu)

    GNU, or as I’d like to call it, GNU+PTerry

    mariusafa ,

    GNU Hurd didn’t take a good path of development following MACH design. But I still think GNU Hurd is the kernel of the future. Probably the Next generation Hurd. Just because GNU MACH and Hurd present very convoluted designs.

    A kernel that performs most of their activities in user space and that it is truly modular looks very promising for the kind of systems we have nowadays and in the future.

    Someone has to make the change, or we will stagnate in cumbersome and up featured systems.

    There’s no guessing what will catch the world by storm. At a party once, Bram Cohen tried to get me interested in his ideas for a a peer-to-peer protocol, and I thought nothing of it.

    GNU is older than Linux? Neat.

    @sramder@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah… but it was just RMS yelling at people from a street corner, nobody actually used it until Linux came along ;-)

    pelya ,

    I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

    How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

    sramder ,
    @sramder@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, gotta’ love how all the Apple fanboys were like Bash? Meh’ zsh is the superior shell in the span of a day.

    I mean was the GPL viral… yeah probably. But it’s not like the courts came after either of them. Or ever really will in a meaningful way. Although hope springs eternal for non-webkit browsers in the not-EU 😌

    mariusafa ,

    Clang and the LLVM with BSD like licences so we can get the 80’s suing experience of UNIX yet again.

    It’s impressive how many people in the FOSS community hate GNU. Even to the point of creating OSes without GNU in it. Working for free for companies just to get their contributions stolen or expunged.

    Apple loves Open Source, they can stole it as they like, like they did with Darwin (a derivation of XNU). Everything is open until we no longer want to, and you don’t have any right to desist such actions. This sounds like a dream for them.

    Google loves Open Source, they can build an spyware, ad vending machine, DRM platform that is hosted in almost any IOT machine. This is Android.

    The community has to realize that if you care about your software you have to ENFORCE the freedom of it.

    The are entire projects just to liberate android from google. That’s is all fault of the open source licence.

    There are quite a lot of projects which exist to liberate software projects that have been taken hostage. This is no sense.

    Most of the IOT devices are presenting paywall features thanks to Android: cars, fridges, TVs, etc. What is next?

    netvor ,
    @netvor@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah. And I like how even from the message it shows that it’s been already well recognized by then.

    If I recall correctly from some RMS’ talks I’ve seen many years ago, they’ve been working on it for years before, it’s just the kernel that was missing. As I see it, GNU and Linux was the breakthrough for FLOSS, since at that time you would still have to use a proprietary kernel. (Well, there’s GNU Hurd, but I’m not sure if it existed at that time, and even if it did, it was not ready.)

    some_guy ,

    And an OS was born.

    Affidavit ,

    This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.
