Are you normally reading in a moving vehicle or something?
20 pilot deaths since 1946 (80 years ago), but only 2 pilot deaths since 2000 (25 years ago).
I wouldn't really call that "stomach-churning losses"?
...
Just curious, not intending this as an attack on your project.
> "It is a big enough OEM that there is good chance you may have owned a device from them in the past."
I think this takes Nothing out of contention.
I'm quite enthusiastic about Graphene's OEM partnership,though.
You would wreak unmeasurable havoc across the target country.
I think I'm missing something here. Why would people not just choose to remain in their echo chambers?
> Governments around the world have let these industries do whatever they want with almost zero oversight and almost zero repercussions for anything. For decades. These companies and industries do whatever they want. Its only in the last few years that a couple of governments have finally start push back a teeny tiny bit.
Are you claiming that the tech industry wasn't bound by intellectual property laws until recently?
We are discussing "normal people thoughts", not market sentiment.
Can you cite me a source for this? Specifically to show that there are a "lot" of them being deported, and that the cause is definitely "for defending Palestinians" and nothing else?
No, just about everyone critiquing RMS's behavior is saying that it negatively affects his own movement. That it makes it more difficult to advocate for Free Software, that it diminishes the FSF.
> Well, it is absolutely true, for their cause, not his.
You have it backwards. Open Source is so much bigger than Free Software, that it's not even funny. The Open Source people are not scared of RMS affecting a movement widely accepted in almost every major tech company.
But they have a very, very large user base, which means lots of contributors - especially young, first-time-FOSS/Linux contributors. In a way, Hyprland has partially done what Linus was hoping to do by adding Rust to the kernel (attract the next-generation of young developers). And they have an active BDFL - no "led by committee" issues.
Anyways, Hyprland is primarily driven by the Arch side of things, considering that:
* there are way more Arch users than Nix users
* Arch is much more trendy amongst non-developer/Linux users.
* Arch is easier to setup and use - less friction
* Arch is more popular in the unixporn reddit/YouTube world, which is where Hyprland gained much of its popularity
* the Hyprland developer uses Arch, and has recently started selling customized dot files, advertised as "supported on Arch- based and Fedora distributions."
Nix users are simply not a driving force in the Linux userland world.
