Yeah, why isn’t ChromeOS rolled into Linux?

Bigger platforms attract more devs.

The BSDs don’t have the dev resources of Linux simply because Linux has a much larger install base.

Proprietary software is one of the last anchors holding people to Windows or macOS.

Ideally, people would switch to FOSS alternatives on a FOSS OS, but proprietary software on top of a FOSS OS is better than FOSS software on a proprietary OS.

Also, people are going to charge for software in some form or fashion. The economic model would need to change in order to allow people to develop software without any economic motives.

I was thinking the Prince estate, but yeah GnR too.

So no to chai lattes then?

Those Vietnamese Internet sharks are getting to be a real problem. 😆

The big server is all about density and convenience. The thing will run many, many VMs without having to skimp on resources, and it will be easy to admin the VMs remotely.

I have plans to pick up a big workstation to replace the little desktops I have around, and it will be more convenient since getting as console on a VM is much easier. Servers might also have a BMC, which would help admin the server.

Tell them when you’re about to leave at the end of the weekend. 🙂

Are you counting the healthcare system as part of gov?

No. Most don’t leave the US, so there isn’t a need. Plus, until recently, Canada and Mexico only needed an ID card like a drivers license.

Money mostly.

There is usually something like needing $250K in the bank to be considered for permanent residency. Then the paperwork costs money, so most Americans will have to wait until they get refugee status.
