How about cut vaccines for the military again?

Oh wait, they tried that, flu broke out, and the generals told Hegseth to get bent and reinstated mandatory vaccination.

It’s likely Marge did the actual writing and let Homer take the credit.

Cousinizer.

Ads failed and subscriptions failed too so they went out of business. The free news model was tried for many years and failed.

Someone needs to pay the journalists’ salary.

It’s not the binary. It’s that the logs it writes are in binary so can’t be read without a program.

That’s the joy of open source though: you can stop it.

Not really. Unless you are prepared to devote your life to changing the source code to what you want, you have to accept it. And because you forked you are no longer downstream and will have to spend the rest of your life keeping up with patches.

It’s not much different than Windows. You could write a OneDrive uninstaller but you will have to spend the rest of your life with patches every time MS updates and breaks your uninstaller.

If your favorite thing is being ruined and you can’t stop it, I can understand frustration being displayed as anger.

It’s the same when Windows users get angry at things like OneDrive. It’s forced on them and they don’t want to have to work around removing it like people having to work around how Gnome is integrated into systemd.

There are many legitimate complaints. Bundling a bunch of services into a single binary goes completely against Unix philosophy. Systemd changing from text to binary logs is my pet peeve.

Copying how Windows does things isn’t necessarily the best.

Yes all those features (compression is one of many ) are stupid, few if any actually use them, and it unnecessarily complicates everything.

I even hate edid. It keeps kvms from working.

If it wasn’t ads then what exactly was it? If free with ads was working, it would still be free.

You claim you can leverage that to other sales but it didn’t happen.

NYT is publicly traded. You can see their revenue, costs and everything. They made 2.5B in 1995 and 2.8B in 2025. Factoring inflation they have lost half their revenue. That means half the reporters lost their jobs.

Forcing people to pay like they used to pay for paper is working:

You have conflated “free to the public” and working for free into the argument.

Yes it should be free to the public. But that requires a taxpayer funded journalism.

The workers who are already underpaid should not be required to work for free because their work is important. That’s incredibly regressive.

I’d like to know the reasoning behind people downvoting.

You don’t think the lab worker who tested the eggs should work for free. Why should the reporter work for free?

The NYT is a capitalist business. Why would you expect them to give you news for free when this is a perfect opportunity for them to exploit fear to get more subscribers?

Display Port has fancy features like Display Stream Compression where the driver compresses the image going to the screen.

The solution would be for MS to move those features into Windows rather than allow manufacturers flexibility in implementation. MS would get bad publicity for monopoly and then have to deal with fixing Windows for every off brand monitor because the manufacturer didn’t follow the standard exactly.

What is it motivated by?

Oddly solder isn’t best in most situations. Vibration and/or thermal cycling can cause solder to fail where crimps, wago or twist cannot fail. I learned it from Wil Prowse the solar/whole house battery expert where he compared crimps to solder.

It seemed obvious in retrospect because I have fixed many old electronics where the problem was a cold solder joint that needed a touch up with a soldering iron. Decades of thermal cycling from use cause micro fractures in the solder that get worse and worse.

Disappointed he didn’t do the math for number of loops needed (assuming no friction and infinite strength rope) .

Linus didn’t claim it was.
