I'm not sure if the article had a point, or if it was just scattered fragments of thoughts.
Regardless, I always felt that the death of OS/2 came later, and was due to IBM's inability or unwillingness to market their products. "We're IBM! People will flock to us and wait for our release schedule!" But it didn't happen, and they lost all of their momentum.
Professor Kitzel.
"Pierre Poilievre reveals unhinged fascist goals, willingness to use anyone to achieve them."
How did a convicted criminal get into Canada while skipping out on his sentence?
Deport this fucker, unless he runs into an accident on the slopes.
Your attack was weak, unfocused!
Much like the Gnome user experience! :-D
I don't say much about it because it's stupid to argue, but I've used a LOT of different desktop interfaces over the past 45+ years (yeah, really!), and GNOME...well, GNOME sucks. When Gnome3 was first released we all had high hopes for it improving on Gnome2 (which for those of us on Unix systems was a huge improvement over CDE), and instead it was buggy, clunky, awkward, and an enormous resource hog. Oh yeah, and it was massively unconfigurable. AND it continued to not improve for many many years, until most people I know switched to KDE or one of the other environments (MATE, Cinnamon, and xfce were very popular).
Gnome 4x added a touchscreen paradigm, whether you had a touchscreen or not, and made the experience worse in the process.
If you like it, great! Use it and love it all you want! I'll play with it once every year or so just to see if someone has finally designed something that doesn't suck so badly, but for a functional desktop, no thanks.
I think the fact that most of the 'fringe' desktops are well-known in the community because of people trying to escape GNOME is pretty telling.

Those are NOT boobs!
Great. Burn down the planet for a shell game that nobody wants, and then charge suckers for the privilege.
The Cons have been pushing this bill and others like it for ages, so expect to see more of it.
What disappoints me the most is that the other parties (Green, NDP, PQ) are all backing it. It's garbage - even if you support a nanny state, it's garbage. The only real purpose of this bill is to eventually ban pornography entirely.
If you want to learn drums well, skip the gimmicks and toys, and get a solid practice pad (Remo, Vic Firth, etc.). You can learn a lot - and can practice fundamentals endlessly with that.
Drums are more fun. Music is more fun, and will last you a lifetime.
But absolutely make sure you factor in the cost of lessons.
Yes.
Really and truly, yes.
I'd like to see someone finally fix the 'capitalism' race condition.
Welcome!
You'll find that the volume here is much (much much MUCH!!!) lower than reddit. As frustrating as this can be, the only solution is to stand and create more content. More worthwhile posts, more comments, more interaction. At its height, that was exactly what made reddit successful.
Every one of those terrible picks has been a deliberate, careful choice to destabilize the country.
Yep, a great summary.
I keep telling people that what they call AI (e.g. LLMs) are fancy autocomplete. Little more.
System Shock, the remake by Nightdive.
I'm old enough that I bought and played the original SS back in the day, and it was transformative.
And to you as well.
Being old and broken, we watched movies with our teenage son until just before midnight, and then toasted in the new year. It's mellow, but it was nice.
