Linus had been treating all this situation very fairly so far, but I guess Intel just had to repeatedly try pushing very bad fixes to a problem they created themselves.

Imagine you go to a restaurant, and the waiter just repeatedly brings you the wrong order, repeatedly.

Something's popularity says nothing about its value. See, for example, religion. The most popular ones still suck a lot. Some more than others.

If they'd start their complaint with "we as white men" I'd get tired of reading it pretty early too.

> When these stories feature the fact that that man has three children to feed, do you complain about the emotional blackmail?

I'll admit I'm less tired of this particular brand of emotional blackmail. Having children is holding responsibility for other people's lives.

I agree with the other poster. This feels like not only emotional blackmail, but tired, overused emotional blackmail. You can very reasonably bring up the angle of people who depend on the platform for their income without dragging around the identity politics baggage with it.

It depends heavily on the engine being used or if custom engine on how much the devs have relied on stuff designed to wall your product into windows.

There's like a couple of games out of ~100 I got on Steam that I've had big problems with in Ubuntu. A couple others just needed launch options to prevent the game from guessing settings so wrong I can't even fix those in-game and launch a launcher program where I can tweak those before starting the game.

Let's break it down

> What is the point of a console?

Very predictable hardware specs & setup.

> What is the point of the console being Linux-based?

Reduction of brand-new OS development costs; potentially zero need for writing drivers depending on hardware setup; very extensive presence of compilers / interpreters / libraries that can be freely usable out of the box.

I don't think this is going to take off at all.

Then the top post is inviting me to check the node subreddit to look at how much the community upvotes bigotry, and on first glance I see that's clearly bullshit.

Then I check one of this tweets trying to draw simpathy becauase some Random Person On The Internet called him a bigot, I follow the retweet, and the tweet calling him a bigot is a response to a tweet of his introducing racial / gender politics into fucking Javascript testing.

It looks like these days that every most of the time someone is making drama about abuse on Twitter is looks like they have done all the legwork to earn that abuse and are hoping you don't have 30 seconds to take a look at their sources and see their own dirty hands all over the buildup.

Remember kids, nothing good ever happens on Twitter and if you're spending a lot of time there then there's a huge chance you're going to regret it one way or another.

That's false.

Somehow I remember there had been a recent very high-profile precedent being set for having the permission to "delete private data" and "wiping computer data" before handing over your computer to law enforcement.

Of all things Mozilla may be doing wrong, the MDN docs on html / javascript is most definitely not one of it. They are by far the best available.
