Yes, but they have it easy because their operating system only has one pony, whereas GNU is working with an entire hurd.

I do use adaptive cruise control. Mysteriously, this does not cause the car in front of me to drive any faster.

Sure, so if the only thing he cared about was having more money, then there are ways he could go about getting more money. He has made it very clear, though, that is not the only thing he cares about—at least, ostensibly; it's not like I know the guy personally or anything.

To me, one of the most interesting quotes from the article was:

"Our intel tells us that... one of the most important things we can do to hurt Palantir right now is disrupting their recruitment pipeline by hurting their brand image, to the point where even very apolitical recent college graduates [feel] that it's social suicide."

This really seems to me like exactly the kind of thing that a peaceful protest could accomplish that could really pay off!

It is not obvious to me, though, that the following tactic is super-effective at this:

After blocking the street outside Palantir's unassuming redbrick office, and briefly making way for an ambulance, the crowd marched to a nondescript building nearby where organizers said the company was holding a developer conference to recruit new talent, slapping rhythmically on the windows and chanting "quit your jobs!"

This seemed to work in terms of shutting the event down:

Although Palantir did not confirm whether its event was disrupted, one visibly confused event worker did try to deliver equipment, only to find their intended recipients had vanished.

I suspect, though, that if the event were disrupted then the impression the people got at it was more along the lines of, "There are crazy people outside!" and less along the lines of, "I should really feel guilty about my life decisions."

Having said that, it is not clear that a lower level of confrontation would have accomplished anything either, so who am I to say?

You may be lucky enough to use Linux for your fault work, but some of are forced to use Windows because it is the industry standard. If Linux were widely enough used that I could use it at work then that would be a huge benefit to me.

The problem of there being a separate runtime for each video driver version was explicitly discussed in the article:

If you are part of the huge part of the population who happens to own a Nvidia GPU, it's a whole other can of worms. There are Flatpak runtimes that target specific Nvidia driver versions, but they must be matched with a compatible version installed on the host system, and it is not always a process as smooth and painless as one would hope.

An improvement idea that is floating around is to, basically, just take a step back and load the host drivers directly into the runtime, rather than shipping a specific version of the userspace drivers along with the application. Technically, it is possible: Valve's Linux runtime is pretty similar to Flatpak architecturally, and they solved this problem from its inception by using a library called libcapsule to load the natively installed host drivers into the Steam Runtime. This is the reason why it's significantly rarer that an old Steam game fails to launch on a new GPU, compared to the same scenario on Flatpak!

Historical revisionism at work:

The astroid shot first.

Thus demonstrating that when you combine XML and C++, you truly get the best of both worlds!

In fairness, this game uses fabulous pixel art! Hardly any games do that.

Oh, dear child, it goes to the same place where you will go when you inevitably die one day: into complete non-existence, save for an echo in others' minds, and after a while not even that.

Sweet dreams!
