This is pure insanity. Chaos.

Leaving this long-term review of a Framework 16 for others to draw conclusions from: https://www.theverge.com/24047424/framework-laptop-16-review

God I miss bash.org

This is an insane take based on absolutely nothing.

It is my understanding that a lot of thought and care is put into the design language and appearance of applications and frameworks. However the same level of consideration is not usually afforded to skins and themes, which are often released an never updated again. This can cause usability issues and sometimes even breakages. Of course, people are free to do as they please with their computers.

I do not trust the CEO, the company, or the product. Here are a couple links, I’m certain there are more:

• Brave affiliate incident explained
• Brave accepting donations on behalf of users without telling them
• Brendan Eich’s controversial views on same-sex marriage

Be aware that Brave is essentially a scam and there are other privacy-focused browsers that might suit your needs.

Luckily Wikipedia articles typically include sources:

This is simply not true.

To add, you could have looked this up before posting a hostile comment on a relative newcomer’s post. This is how linux communities develop reputation of being exclusive & unfriendly.

Hold up, let me just make up some numbers real quick to prove how wrong you are!

SourceHut is crap. I’ve found that just because something is open source it doesn’t mean it’s automatically good.

This was very easy to find, I’m sure there’s more.

Why? Those are just abstractions. Why do you get to decide at which level of abstraction is the baseline for a person to use a computer?

Especially considering most computer users are operating at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. phones/tablets).

You are not the average computer user anymore.

yooo i remember those TDK drives—they were highly coveted. my first CD burner was a 2x external USB drive. it would frequently take about 45 mins to burn a disc

This fucked me up when I learned and finally accepted it, but it’s actually “Fly, you fools!”

You, in fact, cannot install Windows 10 on a Pentium 4.

I don’t currently use macOS, but macOS support is typically about 7 years, sometimes up to 10. Apple supports the 3 latest versions of its operating system.

Mainstream Windows support seems to be about 1-3 years.

FWIW this thing is nowhere near as powerful as a modern iPad. Different universes.

Look into Darwin BSD and the Mach kernel. Still alive and kicking.
