This crash has to be so bad that the next US President that even so much as hints at wanting to use tariffs for any purpose other than what they’re intended for, would be personally walked to the gallows.

I mean, I don’t work for the AP. But if you absolutely must have a sensationalized title, I probably would go with “Harrowing Toll in Gaza Strike–Majority of Victims Reported to Be Children.”

Sure, but look at the title. You don’t call, after blowing up a school, child casualties “people.” That’s what we call trying to soften the blow.

Strike on school

17 people killed

lol ok. Anything not to paint Israel as child murderers, I guess. Careful not to consume the boot.

I can’t for the life of me understand how you’re having a difficulty understanding this to begin with…

You said that at 4% market share they would be idiots to not break their backs chasing that 4% in revenue but were there right now and they’re not breaking their back at all they’re hardly doing anything…

The entirety of your statements that you’ve said so far are verifiably incorrect because they are the reality that we’re living right now. I’m not the one that struggling with reality buddy, that’s you.

Nobody said they’re not. Jesus. You get really upset when someone points out that you’re wrong, don’t you?

Fact of the matter is, is that *nix is less than 4% of the market, and they’re not going to upset the market for that 4%. It will eventually get bigger, but until it does, there’s not a lot of hope.

This is the year of the linux desktop.

It’s not trust me bro at all. That’s the situation we’re currently in. So if these businesses would be “crazy” to leave all this money on the table and they currently are, what does that say to you?

I know critical thinking is hard, but try.

The market share is already there and there not doing open source drivers, so I guess you’re empirically wrong. I dunno what else to tell ya.

Well they’re not, so I guess they are. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t disagree, but at the same time, circle back to my original statement. Even if every single *nix user were to only use open source drivers, that’s still not enough. 4% of the market share isn’t going to change anyone’s mind about *nix support.

Because hardware manufacturers don’t care about 4% market share. They just don’t. They can’t survive by pandering to that 4%, and it costs them time and money to make decent hardware drivers for linux.

Sad truth of it.

This has always been the key. Amazing to me that not many seem to take it seriously.

The same way you do any other project. If you’re interested, you go looking. You find my project which has a link to the repo. A link is a link. You’re simply fighting over where the link goes to, and I’m pointing out that it’s a stupid argument to be had.

Github is an important resource.

And there’s dozens and dozens of replacements available. The issue you’re speaking of isn’t an issue with Github at all. It’s an issue with developers.

If Github going off the map borks your development because PROGRAMMERS can’t use anything but Github, you have much bigger problems than you think.

I don’t understand the obsession in integrating everything with OID services, like Google. People already complain all the time about Google watch-dogging them and then integrate every single service imaginable with their Google account. Shit is just weird to me.

I think you’re kind of missing the point of OSS. Github could completely fall off the face of the earth tomorrow and nothing bad happens. There are dozens of other platforms to facilitate the development of software online. Github is not the end all be all and in the grand scheme is only a small player.

Lol extremists. Get the fuck outta here with this shit.

While true in a technical sense, you’re gonna confuse everyone with this…
