"what are you going to do when all the major operating systems are ... ?"

Someone must have heard a similar question back in the Unix days.

How big are your margins with this much of side note?

It's always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it's relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don't necessarily care about. Of course it's going to be a mess.

A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don't want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It's already difficult as it is currently.

Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a "grind for 4 years and it's done" project.

Look at them prudes implying that sex is not a beautiful and natural thing.

This is bad advice. It's cherry picking arguments.

Point 1 is a misunderstanding of how Linux, open source and distros work. Private companies and big corporations are an integral part of the ecosystem, linux is not a hobbyist-led project. It will always be pushing the interest of major companies. Just clone the kernel repository and take a look at the amount of US companies email addresses. There's also the whole linux foundation situation, are we ignoring that?

Points 2 and 3 are simply a fact of how the world works and an European company running a distro will be affected by most if not all of the same restrictions. We live in a globalized world and companies have customers and suppliers all over the world and have to adhere to regulations. I'm not saying those particular regulations are good or moral, but not using Fedora because of them is pointless.

Never underestimate the power of not wanting to be standing under the sun doing manual work.

Glad there was no banana for scale.

Wtf, just forget about it. What's the point to bring this up now? Then what? A couple more years and you remember another little dirty detail from that night and put her through this all over again? You had your chance to be honest. Those are past waters now. Bringing this up again would just be a self serving way of using her to clear up your conscience.

Mine is the exact opposite, that people are generally kind and good once you remove some initial barriers that keep us apart. The older I get, the more love for people in general I feel.

So I guess we're both mentally ill. High five!

Hey, can't go have coffee with you because the water's been cut and I can't shower after the big dump I took. No flushing either =D.

(that's how it went in my mind)

A droplet of rain once passed through a completely closed car window and hit me on the cheek.

What do you mean, no?

Amazing how you can learn even from the rants of a crazy person. Never new family bibles where a thing until today.

You got horny didn't you?

Survived but with complications

Also having your car crushed by a 50 ton beast or getting necked by one of the necky ones.

Please don't get this guy in trouble just because he put some shit on his roof.

Lol this is really well done, look at skeletor leaning. The half-pump sausage also looks nice.
