  • The linux developers have done an awesome job and linux has come so far it’s amazing. But for the vast majority of computer users they don’t even know what a terminal is, period, and linux is useless to them unless a Linux user sets it up for them for a very specific use case and that’s all they ever do with it.

    If all they want is an email and web appliance, a typical computer ignorant user can use linux if it is given to them by someone else.

    Yet an ignorant computer user can go and buy a Mac or a windows machine from a retailer and get the job done without having to know anything at all other than they want a computer for x y or z.

    Its like the linux developers can’t fathom a PC experience without the terminal as a vital participant.


  • Yeah they’re making money but I just saw where “traditional” tv watchers is below 50% now for the first time, the cash flow of the cable /satellite tv subscriptions is in big trouble and everyone was sorta relying on that. The old media production model is dead and I think this strike is related to that.
