If this "person" was involved with X.org, and then just decided to keep the domain to himself, this course of action is called illoyality, a very damning evidence of someone who should be shunned at all areas.
‘Illoyalty’ has been looked up 658 times on woktionary, is no one's favorite word yet, is on no lists yet, has no comments yet, and is not a valid Scrabble word.
- Of course there is protection of free speech in Germany. And that freedom ends exactly where freedom of others starts. What is prohibited is public speech that aims at depriving minorities (religious, ethnical, etc.) from constitutional rights, or calls for criminal acts. If can't personally find this to infringe on my freedom.
I find it useful to allow people to speak such offensive things. This makes it easier to identify the assholes.
In the mid-90s an issue of BOOT Magazine had an article about various non-Microsoft operating systems. Linux seemed to offer what I was looking for and RedHat 5.1 was my first successful install. I went to Mandrake with their first release and have stuck with that (now Mandriva) ever since. I was privileged to contribute to the RedHat Unleashed series with Bill Ball and write for both MaximumLinux and LinuxFORMAT magazines as well as contributing to the Mandriva documentation. It has been an amazing experience.
My Zune still works fine and I'm typing this on a first gen SurfacePro, some products that do their job well just don't sell (in this case because of the worlds worst marketing).
Many good products fail. Success in the market often has little to do with the usefulness or quality of the product.
In my experience, Linux desktop response suffers way more heavily under high disk load then Windows desktop response. Something with the way Gnome and KDE are prioritized in the kernel loop I would expect. Run something in the background that is chewing up the disk and expect windows to draw very slowly.
Try a lightweight desktop. Mageia5 using the LXQT desktop zips along on my 12-yo hardware.

I suspect they are losing market share because they are chasing Google Chrome and abandoning the traditional browser market.
They are no longer a fast, flexible web browser.
Dropping support for their long-time plugins is bad move, IMHO.

There seems to be some relationship between StartsWithABang and Forbes. All the submissions are to Forbes links.
StartsWithABang appears to be a shill and needs to be banned.

If the girl shared the pictures, she's just as guilty and should be treated the same.

We'll see how this works out
Actually, the entire Internet runs on a Vic-20 with expansion boards and a 300 baud modem.
This is originating from Microsoft shills or inept IT admins. Either way, It's bullshit.
City councilman Johnny Khamis dismissed such criticism: "This is a public street. You're not expecting privacy on a public street."
The public also does not expect continuous surveillance from the government either.
Besides being an asshat in general, this is one more reason not to vote for him.

Will it also update the year in Best Korea from 1954?
Is it an unpowered computer that is missing the power cord and Ethernet cable?
Now, that's an unhackable Windows computer!
Perhaps the police could put a picture of a jail next to the hologram of Chief Keef. That's consistent with the logic being used by police.

Slashdot is NOT dying.
It has been dead for a while.

RPM: If you're using RPM to install your RPM's instead of yum or dnf, you're doing it wrong.
Mandriva/Mageia's URPMI is an excellent RPM wrapper.
A distro update is as simple as adding the new repositories and performing an update.

Let's just leave it at that.
