The kernel’s american now?! WTF?

Now we see the intended outcome of the “Inclusively” movement of the past few years.

I can’t wait to see this “Inclusively” extended to China, India, Brazil and others.

We’ll truly be the most Inclusive ever!!! What a great thing!!!

Since Minecraft blew up with 12 year olds using potatoe hardware I think the criteria required would be:

1. 12 year old thinks name is great and can spell it

2. it can run on a potatoe

Who wants to volunteer to collect this data

True, I still think it’s fair to criticize the package managers and distros for not anticipating this common scenario and having the ability to roll back easily. How many millions of Linux users have experienced this issue? I’ll bet a few.

Debian, Gentoo come from another generation and sometimes it shows, I mean snapshots weren’t even a thing yet AFAIK.

Is it me or is source forge just the mark of dead things.

I always avoid that place. It feels like where you go to get broken stuff.

They’re gonna take me out back and shoot me for saying it but Launchpad too. Like I’m glad it works for you but it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997. How are we going to attract new talent when the rift between the average developers and the old guard widens over time. All the git VCS modernization supercharged development. Like bugzilla was “fine”, but " fine" was the problem in a world of better when you couldn’t even upload a > 250kb jpeg and other legacy hold us back stuff.

With a cliffhanger like that I’ll try to guess … number of steps taken?

Not really sure what else is realistic and what is hypothetical.

Yes, vote with your dollar. That’s all these companies understand. The only way to win is not to play and say no to these data syphon extortion schemes.

I remember their “1 Click Install”

Yup, the benefits don’t outweigh the costs.

Jokes on them I block them on the DNS level.

I’m making a list, and I’ll be checking it thrice lol.

Gonna ban all major sites and IPs. The Internet used to be about the small guy not the downtown.

Great, this should help attract the mainstream linux user more
