- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 6 days ago:
I see you have yet to meetmy old friend Debian, who was supporting i386 until 2 weeks ago, and includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.
- Comment on The Debian project is proud to release Debian 13 "Trixie", a major update that brings new features, updated components, and numerous other improvements 2 weeks ago:
Daily friver here. Stable for servers, testing for workstations.
Debian Testing isn’t as stable as Stable, but has been far more reliable than anyone else’s desktop releases. I’m also not a fan of Fedora and others’ policy of ending support on the day of a new release.
If for some reason you decide to hold back on an upgrade of Testing, you’ve still got five years of patch support coming. And if I do want to live on the bleeding edge, there’s always Sid (also called Unstable). That’s where you’ll run into the kind of instability you can expect from a rolling release.
My favorite will probably always be Gentoo, but I don’t always have time for that hobby.
- Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned? 3 weeks ago:
Except that shareholders vote on the board of directors, who make decisions like hiring and firimg the CEO, executive compensation, and overruling executive decisions. It’s two levels of indirection, but in the end the shareholders DO control the means of production.
There are exceptions to this when thete are multiple classes of shares - one voting and one nonvoting for example. This doesn’t apply in Amazon’s case that I can see.
