The distribution “managed by a single person” depends on hundreds of people working on different sofware to keep up. It’s not “one person doing better than the thousands of Microsoft employees combined” implication they are pushing
Windows 11 beat the linux distros by up to 20% in 1% lows which are argued as much more important by most tech reviewers. It wasn’t consistant at all which means that there was a giant margin of error.
I love linux and linux gaming has gotten radically better, but I am tired of tech “journalism” literally just cherrypicking, misleading, clickbait trash.
That is actually a great metaphore. I always just used:
It’s like me not wanting to use google photos because they scan your photos to train algorithms vs my mom not wanting to use google photos because she is afraid all of her photos will get deleted.
Battlefront 2 (the original), still active when the servers have been down for years
Titanfall 2. Official servers aren’t technically down, but pretty much unusable and NorthStar is the alternative
Counter strike 1.6 is pretty much just community-run servers, same with day of defeat: source. I don’t know if they are tied with valve that if valve shut them down, they wouldn’t be searchable.
Supreme commander: Forged Alliance
Hell, Battle for Middle Earth II still has a small community
Valheim has never had official servers. I run my own via docker on debian
Unreal Tournament 1999
Minecraft (official servers aren’t down, but if they shutdown there would still be 2000 servers)
Is that why Edge, Facebook, AT&T, Bing, gmail, Tesla, and a hundered other examples are still around even though they are objectively bad products compared to competitors?
Or is it that multi-billion dollar companies subsidize them because they have near monopolies on the space through exploitation and shady business practices including being publically subsidized loss leaders until they got a stranglehold on the market?
The natural steady state of the “free market” is monopoly. Look at the computer hardware and tech world, and the internet. The closest we have had to a completely free market in a long time. There were practically 0 rules and regulations around them for dozens of years. What happened? Companies all bought each other until there are oligopolies or monopolies in each market, without exception.
And when KiCAD gains enough features to make it able to compete in the enterprise space.
Altium still just has a ton of features that people use every day.
Cloud libraries, multi-channel design, flexpcbs, some good high speed tools, output job files, better curved traces for RF (though kicad melting + teardrop is ahead of altium in my opinion, though more clunky).
I have hope for FreeCAD now that Ondsel is on board pushing the community/enterprise split that OnShape does. They are shooting for a 1.0 next year. Though I think it will take until 2.0 to get it professionally usable.
Yeah I have a 3TB data cap with Proximus on Belgium. Telenet never had a cap, but both mobile and landline signal where I moved to is far better with Proximus.
I am hoping that is counts for downloads only and not uploads (seeding)
Absolute robbery, but at least the prices are around half of what I paid in the US for phone and internet. 70€ vs $145.
Tried tumbleweed on my laptop, bog standard install with only defaults, first update with the GUI, completely deleted all grub configurations but gave no errors or warning on the GUI. Happened twice in a row.
Updating for CLI with YaST had no issues. Wanted to love it, but got a bad taste literal minutes after install.
I am fine on Arch, but I just wanted less hassle and ended up with more hassle. Maybe I will try again soon
After reading your link, they can absolutely be used interchangably in a comparison with copyleft licenses. Your own link says that they are very similar.
