that web browser is still light-years ahead of what we have now.
Tell me about it. If we all had that browser we wouldn't read such stupidly ignorant comments like yours because posting on Slashdot would be something you wouldn't be capable of anymore.
Sorry but you're in angry rant mode without any thought about the implications of your rant. You wouldn't use that browser because it wouldn't be functional and the internet would return to being a curious experiment rather than the single biggest economic enabler of our modern civilisation.
Who knew this would turn the Internet to a shithole
The internet is the single biggest enabler of our modern economy. It also seems to be a place where you like to go to vent your misplaced frustrations I assume you do it for pleasure.
What an incredibly successful "shithole" it has become. What an epic failure.
Except there's zero difference between Europe and America. Let's break down the argument shall we:
"The main problem is looking at health care as a profit driven business in the first place. " No there is zero, nada, nill, difference between Europe and America here. There's no significant differences. There's no minor differences. There are no differences at all. Pharmaceutical companies in Europe are 100% for profit enterprises driven by profit. To claim otherwise is simply absurd.
Now your counter argument is the MIC exists, except the MIC is a government granted construct. All it does is support the existing for profit organisations and empower them further. The fact that the MIC doesn't exist in Europe in no way invalidates the fact that there is ZERO difference in the profit model of the companies providing drugs.
Yes that is right, but it is still not remotely accurate to say they are "dropping content from a competitor". There is no content owned by the competitor being dropped.
It is another for it to cause somebody else's email to be late. Pick one or the other, not both.
How do you pick? If you're not on top enough to read your emails chances are you're not on top enough to understand which are important. Not everything has a fixed deadline at the time of writing the original email, but eventually all unread emails fall into irrelevance.
They all provide windows access into the linux sub-systems, not the other way around... This is not an accident
You're right, this is not an accident. This is the result of MS's malevolent actions of ensuring the OTHER direction works first. How fucking dare they!
It's absolutely essential when using WSL that you don't mix line endings. E.g. in Notepad only open files created in WSL first. Or better still use a text editor that allows you to specify the line endings.
Other than this issue there should really not be any reason WSL doesn't run like a standard VM (at least as far as features which it's capable of are concerned e.g. you don't need a GUI).
More complete?... hahahhahahaha. Oh man. You had such an air of authority about you until you announced to the world that you've never compared the 20 year old baby of Cygwin to WSL.
40 unbroken, consecutive, full-range (chest touches the floor) pushups is really a fairly high bar athletically, probably on the order of top ~1% of the total population
That isn't such a high bar. Especially not when you consider the general obesity and health problems of a large portion of the population.
Pushups are quite excellent for overall fitness. Core body strength, Upper body strength, and overall cardio endurance are all exercised if you do a lot of push-ups in a row.
For overall fitness it's an incredibly effective all rounder, unlike most forms of cardio, or a trip to the gym.
What it gets for overall fitness it loses in specifics. I.e. if you're core is good, your strength is good, but your cardio sucks then there's more effective methods of training your heart than doing rapid pushups.
You can pick when to install the update. Literally the first thing you get is a notification that an update is ready to install and a button which gives you the option to select exactly when you want to install it (at least to the nearest 30min) in a time frame of the following *week*.
Your inability to plan ahead with that much notice says more about you than the OS, as does your desire to delay security updates for an even longer period than that.
It's what it sounds like. A timeline of your activities. Click the little Timeline button on the task bar and you get a list of apps and open documents, except in chronological order and it also displays previously closed items, or webpages (until now only if you were masochistic enough to use Edge).
can you say the same of other hardware manufacturers?
Erm yes. Still have some very old and very working Dell laptops here. On the other hand you can't even install Linux on a fancy new Apple laptop, at least not on the internal drive.
That article is correct,... providing you have another SSD or an external drive. You need to disable secure boot to be able to boot from another drive or another OS, but in doing so the T2 chips locks down the internal SSD.
At least that's the presumption. It could very well be that the drivers for the SSD are just missing since it's a proprietary controller and not an off the shelf NVMe drive, but what is known is that the SSD communicates via the T2 chip, and the T2 chip intentionally hides itself from the OS. So it makes perfect sense.
These days they're really pushing AMOLED screens. Which is a GODDAMN FUCKING RETARDED IDEA because those damn things are too susceptible to burn-in.
Errr no. Please stop repeating 5+ year old tropes. The last phone that suffered from burn in as a result of technological inadequacy rather than a poorly designed or made panel was the Galaxy S2. On AMOLED panels the problem has been largely solved many years ago. Even my 6 year old Galaxy S4 which I continue to use daily as a navigation device after retiring it from my main phone, which is on it's 5th battery thanks to constant use shows no sign of burn in.
The horse and cart weren't broken. Neither was the old mobile phone. Don't confuse "fixing" something with simple technological development, especially when your opinion is completely uninformed.
An emoji is nothing more than an extension of a poorly written paragraph. Its ambiguity stems from you reading it in isolation.
In this case it's ambiguity also stems from the preceding sentence: "Teamwork make the dream work" which contains precisely zero information to make any judgement on the topic at hand. The emoji isn't the problem here.
You can disable (but not remove) the Facebook mobile app, but the "Facebook Services" app continues to run --and update itself-- in the background, like it or not.
Err you can disable the Facebook Services app just fine. You can't uninstall any app shipped on a ROM because the partition is read only. Disabling is Google's specific method of preventing those apps from both running AND updating. Not only that, if it did once update then clicking disable will uninstall the most recent update and lock down the original app shipped with the ROM.
??? Do you have a problem with your device? The update didn't take me any longer than any normal ROM update which gets pushed out basically once a month, and that is certainly no where near 45minutes. 3-5minutes maybe.
As much as I don't like defending AmiMoJo he's point stands well. You on the flip side committed a Tu Quoque logical Fallacy. Pointing out hypocrisy doesn't invalidate the original argument.

There's a difference between not being profit drive and not being supported by a Medical Industrial Complex.

2 words: Line endings.
It's absolutely essential when using WSL that you don't mix line endings. E.g. in Notepad only open files created in WSL first. Or better still use a text editor that allows you to specify the line endings.

A for-profit company shouldn’t have control over a top-level domain.
Huh? That was never a consideration. The entire premise of gTLDs was a dollar grab priced in a way that only a for profit company could afford it.
Another TLD I'll probably have to blacklist in my sendmail.conf.
Why blacklist? This stupidity and the complete and utter lack of meaningful adoption means whitelisting is a perfectly suitable filtering method.

Get with the current technology.
