Yeah humans are not too good at gracefully paradigm shifting. That is why in academia people usually wait for the old ones to die off before something truly new can be introduced. I'm not singling out academia, this is pretty much all

Nice to see some cognitive semiotics surfacing on HN.

There is also https://minios.dev/en/ and an HN link regarding a tons of other linux on USB options. I agree with the author. With USB in 1TB size range, easy to carry and backup. Why do I even need cloud?

Not really US style! As someone once said: "US is run by lawyers, and China engineer." And it is very telling how they both approach this issue of territory expansion.

This is type of stuff make me not like big corp, the culture and company value eventually corrupts. And if you are like Apple, after the charismatic founder dies, pretty much it goes to shit as well.

by vmfunction 3y ago
I'm not sure where the founder is from, but seems like he has Asian connections. And over there these type of super app (WeChat) that can do everything for you is quite very common. It would also make sense to centralise everything if

Fine for big corp are just cost of doing business. All the big corp have some money stashed away for that purpose. It is all about working out with the AG on what the fine will be.

they are a good company, the only tip I would recommend, if you don't have a beefy system. Is install Pop_OS so it has all the GPU support etc, and then just run some lightweight WM. That switch got me a boast on the speed of an old la
