Trump thinks we can make iPhones in the US just like China. Yeah, right

Re: Trump doesn't think

Have you actually compared rates of gun ownership with rates of violent crime? There is no correlation, let alone causation.

Open source maintainers are really feeling the squeeze

You are NOT a freeloader. That being said, if we want these things to be available, we should consider giving a few dollars. The only thing I have given money to in the past year is $20 to MX Linux. Not much, but if 1000 people in the entire world gave that, we would be talking about something. 10,000 would be better. We have to start somewhere :)

Kamala Harris's $7M support from LinkedIn founder comes with a request: Fire Lina Khan

Re: Microsoft board member requests FTC chair being removed - pays money to upcoming president

I disagree. I have worked in politics. If you have already made the decision to keep Kahn, take the money. Otherwise, don't. The foolish donor has made sure their donation will have no impact on the decision by making their desires public.

systemd 256.1: Now slightly less likely to delete /home

Re: Isn't systemd great?

Agreed. I will try to donate a few more dollars to the people maintaining MX Linux again next month. That's what I can do. Good luck

Version 256 of systemd boasts '42% less Unix philosophy'

Re: It's the only way to be sure.

What happens is up to us.

Either enough people give time and/or money to the alternatives, or we are screwed.

Example: I just donated $10 to MX Linux. It's not much, but it is probably more than I should afford right now.

The is the OS I am using to put up this post.

I can't program, but this is what I can do. I need to try and do more.

We all do.

Good Luck

I have an accounting related job. At least for the United States of America, you do not need to worry. We already have a shortage of accountants and accounting students in this country.

Re: So let me get this straight.

OK. Upgrades are free. So what??? At some point your hardware will not run the new OS and you will have to buy a new computer with Windows, or buy a stand alone copy for your own hardware. Microsoft gets paid. Don't believe it? Shop Dell systems that offer Linux as an OS option. They are around $90 cheaper. That's the cost of Windows. Eventually, everybody pays......

After delay due to xz, Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' belatedly hits beta

Re: Oh, Ubuntu. Where did it go wrong!

Just took an old desktop(server) and installed latest version of MX Linux. Starting to love it. Still getting used to Xfce, as the last linux I used was Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but the more I use it, the more I like it SSD and RAM upgrade has it running like a champ. Had a few teething problems, but nothing big. I think this is my goto for now. :)
