Oh yeah, I think I do remember that announcement being before everything else went down, my bad for misrepresenting that

Here's an overview by The Verge

But basically it started when Gamers Nexus called out some issues LTT had with testing methodology and also an incident where LTT accidentally auctioned off another companies products that they had reviewed poorly.

Then Linus responded pretty poorly (and ended up stepping down as CEO and is now a chief creative something or other iirc)

Then a former employee tweeted about why she left LTT and accused LTT of having a toxic workplace environment. And specifically said she had been sexually harassed by a coworker but not taken seriously.

There's no court case, LTT just did this to clear their name basically.

This article doesn't really make sense to me.

The author talking about how difficult Linux is

Suddenly, I need the skills of a system administrator to resolve the issue—skills I don’t have. Now remember, I’ve been programming computers since 1980; I’ve written code in COBOL, APL, Fortran, BASIC, SNOBOL, LISP, and Perl. I’ve built my own PCs, configured domain names to activate websites, set up dual-boot systems, and hacked the Windows registry. I’ve worked in UNIX and VMS and mainframes, and was one of the first hundred or so users of the World Wide Web, back when it was a command-line program for accessing physics preprints at CERN.

I have half of that experience but have been able to install and run Arch without being defeated. And I installed Mint awhile ago and had an even easier time with that. I understand the underlying complaint that it's built on the CLI which can be hard to get used to, but still...

BeOS could do things in 1995 that Windows, Linux, and MacOS can’t do in 2024. (Try load-balancing the individual threads of your running programs, or switching processors on or off whenever you want.)

I... guess? Would the average person want to do that? I thought this was supposed to be for the average person who isn't allowed to poke around and break everything easily.

The OS itself has been rock solid, although it doesn’t recognize my sound card, and some apps have crashed. The experience takes me back to the early days of Linux distros, except that the core desktop functionality is spectacularly well-designed and consistent. Haiku is as easy to use as Windows ever was.

-_-

For that to happen, Haiku has to mature. It needs to become stable enough for daily use (in my experience, it already is) but also be usable on a wide variety of modern systems, and that means more device drivers for, for instance, my sound card. The project needs more than one full-time developer; for this, they need money. This is where we can come in.

So yeah, it sounds like a cool project. I might even try it out. It sounds like porting programs from Linux to Haiku is easy, so I don't see why they can't coexist at least. But this article just seems to contradict itself and is promoting an OS that the average person isn't going to be able to intuitively or easily use for probably a long time.

ignores science

Can you provide some links to that science?

Well this is the technology community. Kinda obvious we're all nerds here, and care about technology 🤷 and we don't really have to look hard lol

Amber Heard

She just mad because so many Republican men get turned on by twinks and femboys that she can't compete

Zionism is a religious and political movement to reclaim Palestine for the Israeli people and views that land as inherently belonging to Jewish people because God said so.

That belief alone is not enough to call it a genocidal ideology. However, because Zionists overwhelmingly "reclaim" the land by terrorizing the current inhabitants, it's not that much of a stretch.

It is also inherently nationalistic and Zionists are inherently colonizers. It's not racist to say that because it's an ideology, and a harmful one.

Just like I'd call all Westboro Baptists bigots. And I'd call any far-right group fascists. The Zionist ideology is the exact same

Interesting response. I got my CompTIA A+ cert so I could have more options, and applied at over 150 jobs before I got an interview. I'm very aware of how fortunate I am, but it wasn't like I just walked away from factory work easily. I worked in five different factories before I got into tech, and I'm making less than I was before. But my skills are better in other fields for sure

Because it takes a special kind of person to stand in one place for 8-12 hours repeating the same repetitive motion every day for years. I don't have the patience for that shit

That's Kazoo. Kahoots is a Mexican coffee liqueur.

This isn't too far fetched. I recently saw a video of a woman who is Muslim explaining why she personally wouldn't take her hijab off in front of a trans woman. Which is the opposite of the op story

BUT... it's obvious that figuring out how trans women fit into their religious beliefs would be a discussion among Muslim women. Just like Christianity, there are going to be different interpretations, person to person even, of what is ok and not. Seems to me like this would actually be a really easy way for a woman to show her support to a friend.
