Perhaps (s)he's concerned about political backlash (via down-voting) on HN?

New comment by parvenu74 in "Linux Mint Dumps Ubuntu Snap"

parvenu74 — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 21:42:45 +0000

I noticed that Mint is working on LMDE which uses Debian as its base directly without using Ubuntu; I wonder if this is one of the reasons motivating that project and what the other reasons are.

How is that not accurately described as click-bait? Click to see compelling "news" AND see an advertisement we hope you'll buy...

Ideal would be if you could issues U2F hardware keys but not everyone supports that yet. I've seen KeePassXC used effectively as it works on Widows, macOS, and Linux.

Is there even a viable alternative to Kubernetes at this point? For that matter, is there an alternative to YAML for defining Kubernetes setups?

Is Teams not an Electron app? I gather that it's not otherwise it would have been on Linux long ago...

Sam Vaknin is a self-confessed Narcissist and maybe psychopath. His oeuvre is invaluable. He served time in an Israeli prison for financial crimes.

I want to root for it but I think the LGPL license ruins it as long as there are BSD or MIT licenses alternatives that are good enough. Firefox might implement it but I think there’s zero change that Chromium or Safari add support.

parvenu74 — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 12:39:31 +0000

"NetBSD 9.0 is bringing with it support at long last for ARMv8/AArch64 64-bit ARM..."

Ironic that the BSD that's legendary for "running on a toaster" and whose slogan is "of course it runs NetBSD" is just now gaining support for these not-exactly-rare chips/architectures.

The headline is that it's a $199 laptop but the link in the article is to a $280 laptop. Is this a mistake or did the price go up?
