Just for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.

The author probably wasn't aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to "correct" their post.

I'm more of a "if it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck" kind of guy.

There was another OS that was POSIX compliant too...

Windows was this close to be Unix. Windows was POSIX.1-compliant, and Windows Service for UNIX was also a thing.

Steam is available in 237 countries, while PSN is only available in 69 countries. Some people are going to be locked out from the game they bought. E.g African players are going to be fucked.

Hmm, what do you mean when a tank game has a tankies reputation?

How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.

It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.

For comparison, I run a thinkstation p300 with i7-4790 (TDP 84W) 24/7 and the power usage looks like this:

Even when idling this old processor still guzzles 45W. Certainly not as nice as GP's that only use 10W during idle.

Power scaling for these old CPU is not great though. Mine is slightly newer and on idle it still uses 50% of the TDP.
