You are right, that was my mistake. Let me fix it:
You made a terrible point. Both in your last post and here.

Too stupid to use a reliable OS
Ok I think this is where I draw the line. Not only are you just plain wrong, you have some kind of anti-social personality issues. I don't think there's any point in engaging in any kind of conversation with you as you have made it meaningless.

It comes from a very different place than Windows, and the data here is very transparent, unlike your average Microsoft KB.

When you count up the 1's place, you go 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and then it rolls over into the 10s place.
But in "base 4", it goes: 0,1,2,3,10,11,12,13,20. 3 is the highest value possible in any of the digits place.
Therefore "10" in base 4 = 4 in base 10, but saying it in base 4 is written as 10.
You can change your base to any base and whatever base it is would have to be written as base 10 because the number above the highest one in that base doesnt exist, it's 10.

'Maybe the problem is you' ... Linus Torvalds wades into Linux kernel Rust driver drama
I am so glad Linus just came out and said it. I was pretty upset at Hector too in the other thread the other day, and I especially didn't appreciate a call to remove a major developer from the kernel because Hector wasn't getting his way. Very militant action on Hector's part where it just wasn't necessary.
Hector, if you're reading this, communication skills are just as if not more important than your Rust development skills, and frankly your communication skills lack.

I really really don't. As soon as he does, corporate vultures (such as MBA degree holders) and people who "want to change what 'open source' means" will swoop in. If we replace Linus, I hope its someone very similar to him who isn't afraid to be a hardass where it's needed and will keep the current vision of Linux alive.

Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

It's not the knitting projects at home or shooting cans in the woods people have an issue with, it's the legislature you vote for, the way you treat people when you're not at home, and the kinds of people you support (people in aggressive positions of authority)

The Gnome Foundation Struggling to Stay Afloat
It's interesting to see that taking a "My way or the highway" approach seems to have actual repercussions. Almost as if nobody wants to work with you when you do that.
I know that I and many others have donated to KDE due to their vibrance and inclusivity in the conversation. They have panels where they actively ask what it is that users want to see (within the scope of some broader goals they've set for the year).

Part of being a good developer is the "working well with other human beings" part. Linus himself took a hiatus to improve himself in this area.
Another part of being a good developer is to work within and adapting to the frameworks of an existing project, especially if you are joining at a later point. In this context, it would be the R4L folks joining the project known as "the Linux kernel."
Hector failed on both counts. He has programming skills, but that's not all that's required.

Is Fossify.org legit?
The fossify apps are legit, I use them daily.
This is the same or similar situation as OpenOffice → LibreOffice or OwnCloud → NextCloud (and to a lesser extent but more similar scenario, Audacity → Tenacity or various other forks).
This is what true open source looks like in action.

You are allowed to charge money for open source.

Whats sad is that people keep wanting more client-side anticheat to fix this, when the real answer is server-side anticheat and changing the engine to stop being so leaky with that much information.
