multiple operating systems, I’m not so sure but I can’t imagine that it’s impossible

The keyword is virtualization.

??? Highly unclear what exactly you are imagining.

I’ve done it at my job.

you’re becoming dependent on a subscription service offered by a trillion dollar company that can increase the price tenfold at will, or cut you from the platform entirely

with local open weight models that is no longer an argument tbh

I don’t see anything wrong with using AI for almost anything at all (including this), as long as there is human review every time. I do not see how the free software philosophy, by itself, either endorses or condemns AI.

OK, I wasn’t familiar with that term; TIL. Again, it’s not terminology I would personally have used; calling it a “fascist creed” over that still sounds like an exaggeration.

“Heritage is duty” refers to the heritage of computing, not of human beings. Completely non-outrageous in context.

“Command is service”, ok, that explains why Omarchy isn’t a democracy. I think many other FOSS projects aren’t either, so I don’t see anything outrageous in that either.

And you may of course disagree with their opinion on “Code-of-Conduct struggle sessions and identity-overload nonsense” (not words I would have used). Many completely well-meaning people hold different opinions on those topics.

Congratulations, you’ve just managed to advertise the exact thing you oppose. I would likely have given zero attention or thought to Omarchy today if I hadn’t seen this thread.

Also, I just read that “The Omarchy Doctrine” page; if someone seriously thinks that is a “fascist creed”, then that is very interesting. About the person who thinks that. If someone could help me figure out what part of that is supposed to be outrageous or especially controversial, I’d appreciate any help!

No, not at all.

After your edit, it is slightly clearer what you are asking. But this is still a matter of desktop environment more than distro.

No, the translation I was referring to didn’t say “Kursive”, it said “kursiv”, I definitely remember that. That was the episode with Cypress Creek and Hank Scorpio where Bart is asked whether he never learned cursive…

“Kursiv” really just translates back to “italic” despite being a cognate of “cursive”. Outside one bad translation of a Simpsons episode, I have never heard connected handwriting referred to as “kursiv” in German.

An SQL clause walks into a bar. It walks up to two tables and asks: “Can I join you?”

While I agree with the petition, it shouldn’t be limited to Windows, it should be about software freedom…

This would actually not meet the criteria of free and open source software if it were real.

I would not do that without first looking into applicable laws regarding legal liability for content and requirements to remove things. Depending on where in the world you are, this can be a minefield.

Yes, this is true (although the name change happened years before the major version was no longer 10) and doesn’t contradict anything I wrote. But the first version of Mac OS X was an entirely new OS technologically unrelated to Mac OS 9; not the case for later version jumps.

In general no, at least according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#macOS the name change happened several years before the architecture change. But I don’t know what the distinction is on that graph; it’s possible it just depends on how the OS is called in the user agent string?
