Making a kernel more compatible with their platform != Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
The linux kernel will continue to exist whether it is optimally compatible with a microsoft product or not. You are not obligated to use their products or their kernel. Calm yourself down!
In my experience, homophobia isn't regional, it's just pervasive in rural, red counties, especially in red states. When I venture out into those areas, I always make sure to fill up my tank in the last, most built up area I travel through.
I recently got the clinical diagnosis and prescription for ADD and let me tell you it's not just boredom. I couldn't even focus on entertaining things, like movies, books, TV, video game, etc. It sucks!
wow, this is me so much! Glad I got medication. I was self-medicating with an energy drink addiction, but like you, I could down two of them and take a nap. It's not just work and things that require effort that are affected by ADD. It really sucks when even entertainment can't hold your attention long enough that you start avoiding reading books, or watching anything that runs longer than 30 minutes and you drift in and out of attentiveness while your spouse is speaking directly to you. People love to joke that ADD is not real, that we're lazy and being exploited by big pharma, but it is very much real and extremely detrimental in extremely overlooked ways. Also denial and concealment are a big part of it too, but it can easily set you up for things like depression as it constantly disrupts and derails your life.

the whole premise is toxic. the whole premise of the memo is that women are less suited to have tech jobs because of inherent differences between men and women. which is a bullshit lie, but unfortunately self-fulfilling. Women used to be in the field and performing near-parity with men, then tech became a men's job. http://www.npr.org/sections/mo... If you were a woman and had to be treated as automatically less qualified because you're a woman and thought to be inherently not good at a job and saw less-qualified men being promoted above you because they are automatically treated as more qualified because men are thought to be inherently better at the job, would you be happy? Would you stick with that career or pursue it in the first place?
google is majority white and majority male, so there is no discrimination here. If anything they have an unfair advantage if the people in charge of hiring agree with the memo. Go play victim somewhere else!
*disclosure: I am a white male in a tech job
also: holding a sexist view of women in your workplace is not a political opinion. political opinion is things like your beliefs about the role of government, foreign policy, spending priorities, etc. It's things that the government is or is not doing. Being sexist is a personal opinion, and google did not fire him for having it (I'm sure there are others still working for google that agreed with him), he was fired for expressing it creating a hostile work environment for women and creating a reason for women to avoid google/tech jobs generally.
Whistleblowing implies that he was disclosing potentially illegal activity that google was engaging in. Having a code of conduct that forbids creating a hostile work environment for women is not illegal, therefore he is not whistleblowing.
Curious if you also believe Apple should not bundle its music app on the iPhone. I find it absurd, though, that you would call including Google Play Music on android "monopolistic" when it is #3 at best behind competitors Spotify and Apple Music.
I actually have Google Play Music/Youtube Red and I'm just dying to know what they plan to do! Hopefully its better than their half-hearted attempt to add podcasts to GPM (when they announced it, I was hoping they were going to by Pocket Casts and roll that into the GPM app, but no such luck)
That's the point of portable apps, though. You don't need admin rights, you don't need to install them. They are bundled such that they can be run from any directory, usually a flash drive, without installation.
that was never part of a base install, it was in an add-on bundle that a lot of people had. I miss that, chip's challenge, and ski free. Technically you can download ski free from it's creator for free. He somehow retained the rights to it
depending on how you define base install, you could use Greenshot which offers the application as a zip without install for systems where you don't have access to install anything beyond what is included in the base install. http://getgreenshot.org/faq/is...
Ah true. With ChromeOS picking up android compatibility, that basically makes it a desktop version of Android. I still don't get why there's a distinction between ChromeOS and Android
My money's on google. They have deep pockets and can integrate it with the close alternative of youtube. Apple is too pretentious to sully their hands and music service with independent music and spotify isn't turning profit with its core business (yet). As far as I'm concerend, Microsoft is completely out of the picture and if they bought Soundcloud, they would just Nokia the brand.

as a gay man, I lol'd. We get blamed for natural disasters all the time so the punny joke was doubly funny

removal of an advantage != discrimination
despite the fact that most companies are more and more white and male the higher up in the hierarchy you look

I think you're safe, they already fucked up and missed the opportunity to have a usable podcast service.

Isn't this still true or can you remove Edge?

are portable apps https://portableapps.com/apps/... not an option??

Honestly I think the future of android on the desktop is a containerized runtime like Anbox https://anbox.io/
