Maybe stay off the bike paths?

If there are safe cycle paths, people will use them. Of course there are always idiots, but scooters are absolutely the only type of vehicle that people use irresponsibly, amirite?

Yeah but Starliner has been a special kind of shitshow. All the problems were pretty much avoidable with better project management and quality assurance. It’s another example of how beancounters will ruin everything if you let them run the show.

After it landed without any major issues, there’s not really any alternative. They’ll go through with at least the three missions they already authorised. If those go well, Starliner may have a future.

If Chief O’Brien is in charge everything will be fine. If anything goes wrong he’ll just reverse the polarity.

If only city councils would spend as much time and effort on ensuring the safety of car traffic as they do on regulating scooters.

After he found that formula for accurately and fairly assessing the impact an engineer makes, he should do anti-gravity next. Should be easy by comparison.

Replacing one white elephant with another is totally a winning strategy.

If you sell a Linux machine to consumers, Microsoft will screw you over on Windows licencing. No current OEM will risk that.

No major OEM will do a consumer Linux PC because MS will punish them with Windows licence pricing. You’d have to be a newcomer that’s not beholden to MS. At the same time, you’d need a shitload of cash to start a hardware business with enough volume to get into big box stores. That’s why it hasn’t happened yet

It would be a real leap forward, if Linux PCs were sold in big box stores. Which is why Microsoft will do anything they can to prevent that.

And many others.

Nazis are always treated with kid gloves by the US “justice” system. Same as it ever was.

The big guys won’t sell Linux to consumers because of Microsoft’s anticompetitive practices. That’s the main thing that’s holding back Linux acceptance right now. But if some big player (e.g. Valve) would take the leap, things might get interesting.

What are you even talking about? Anyone can sell a PC with pre-installed Linux. There are already several companies today so just that.

To make Linux more appealing to the average person, you’d have to be able to buy a Linux PC at your local computer store. Most people can’t be bothered to install a new OS.

Gee, I wonder what the censored bits actually say. It’s a total mystery.

“Mushroom given robot body” is a better story than “cordyceps mutated”.

They want to undermine and weaken the US by fostering division. Standard KGB playbook.

I agree that an officially supported system package is the best option, when it’s available. But I’ll happily install a flatpak if that isn’t the case. And yes, it would be great if we could get a universal standard.
