I don't see where is he "shitting" on Canonical. It's obvious that he has done quite a lot of research before writing it (he has actually read the code), and he is pretty neutral about Canonical, he is just points outs facts. It's a good post.
Which makes me think that it's you who is butthurt, and the one shitting on other people. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't read the post before writing your comment.
Is no government in the world sovereign, for the people, by the people, of the people it represents?
In theory yes, Spain is sovereign. But so is America. If Spain decides that pirating is OK, i guess that Americans can restrict/boycott Spanish IP commercialization.
In the real world, issues like IP protection need worldwide collaboration. Everybody wants their own IP protected, and in order to get that they need to protect the IP of other nations. It's necessary to find a balance, and if every nation listened only to their own citizens, they would never find one.
a dist-upgrade took more than 4 hours instead of the expected 1.5 to 2 hours it takes with ext4.
That's not due to poor small file performance in Btrfs, it's due to poor fsync() performance (which package tools like rpm and dpkg use quite a lot). In this new kernel version the Btrfs fsync() implementation is a lot faster.
Right, because promoting open source GPL-compatible drivers didn't work for Linux.
Oh, wait, it worked. The Linux hardware support is overall quite good (with many hardware manufacturers working with upstream to contribute drivers). In fact, Nvidia is a minority - Intel has the biggest market share in graphic chips (avobe 50%), AMD/ATI is second. Both have contributed open source drivers which are getting better and better.
Unlike Gnome and Unity, the KDE desktop shell is flexible. You can make KDE look like Windows XP/7, OS X, Unity or even Gnome Shell, if someone implemented it. My KDE desktop looks like Unity.
Fedora is going to continue to be a Gnome 3 distro. They are not doing anything special with Mate, they are just going to package it for people that wants to install it.
It seems like they are "translating" the Java code to C#, then compiling it with Mono. I had expected support for running Android bytecode, or something like that...
Luddite fallacy. Accomplishing the same tasks with less labor means that the cost of the task will fall, and consumers will have more money to spend in other things, which will increase demand and job creation in these areas.
In the case of skilled IT workers, I very much doubt that the cloud is going to make them unable to work. Computers are not outdated technology that is being phased out. There will be new fields and needs in the industry.
And, of course, you haven't considered that, maybe, people uses Ubuntu because they like their interface changes, and switching to plain Gnome would scare them off.
If apple cut their prices the "cool factor" would be diminished, and the fanbois would move onto something else. If they aren't over paying top dollar its just obviously not the best thing ever.
So, making things expensive automatically brings you new customers?
I'm sorry, but that doesn't have any sense. Apple is not a luxury brand, most people who buys Apple products probably don't even care about technology.
Scott Adams has always been careful to note that his "political" ideas have no sense and that he doesn't know anything about the topics he talks about. He writes these articles just because he likes to write thought-provoking articles that make people discuss something different than the boring and predictable political bullshit that you find anywhere else. From TFA: "If you think my ideas for fixing the republic are ridiculous and impractical, you're probably right. If you have better ideas, this would be a good time to share them, because whatever you've been doing until now hasn't been working"
No one in their right mind would ship Pulseaudio (amongst other things)
Right, nobody in their right mind would do that.
Except that everybody is doing it, and it works just fine. But the dinousars who got an opinion about pulsesaudio several years ago and don't know that these days pulseaudio works fine and provides features that nobody else does will never change their mind.

What's the word with XFS these days?

Sadly, yes.
Wait, people needs training videos just to learn how to handle windows?

Since when packaging something is newsworthy?

You can disable the indexing of your web history, effectively disabling "personalized search" at the same time.
Google has a monopoly on search
Yeah, because Google is forcing all of us into not setting Bing as our default search engine.
There is no way normal people are going to like being able to google into the ever increasing amount of social data. Nope. Not at all.
I'm going to delete my google acount, because extending search to other sets of data is something I don't like and Google shouldn't do it.
Are you a scientist?
Somthing like this?
Apparently, everybody is supposed to love and support Israel. At least if you are a US politician.
