Yeah and I do not recall knowing people who thought it would end well. It was universally viewed as a bad move as opposed to developing MeeGo or going Android.

Or do something funky like using a privileged Docker container built from 22.04 (or anything else with old enough samba) to mount the samba share onto a volume that sits on the host OS. 😂
Something like:
Create a mount point, say /media/myshare
docker run --privileged -it --rm -v /media/myshare:/mnt ubuntu:22.04 bash
mount -t cifs //<host>/<path> /mnt -o user=<user>,password=<user>
Check the contents of /media/myshare on the host.
If it works, you could bake this into a startup script for the Docker image. Run it with the appropriate --cap-add instead of --privileged. Start it on boot via systemd.
"Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what's actually driving food prices higher in this country."
Weston also says that while shareholders "may be troubled by these often-repeated stories," the grocery retailer "has and will continue to act with integrity."
Kinda but Canada Post and SaskTel are crown corporations which means pipsqueak can sell them like Manitoba sold MTS. A private workers' co-op (could even be a non-profit) can't be sold by an ideologue and its workers are likely to keep it sustainable and a good place to work. Theoretically they could vote to sell, but I think that would be unlikely since they would be giving up a lot. But don't get me wrong, I'd prefer a crown corporation than a foreign grocer.
MEC was not a workers' co-op though. It was a members' co-op and I don't even know what the voting structure was - whether it was one member one vote or something else. Simply saying co-op is kinda meaningless but I think the original comment mentioning it meant a workers' co-op, one-person-one-vote. That's a specific configuration that creates a democratic workplace which has been shown to be resilient. It mitigates bad decisions being done by a small exec team. I certainly mean this when I say co-op.
I was fortunate to switch to Grin's LiGo potted batteries a few years ago. They're spectacular not only because they're potted but also because they have per-cell balancing and monitoring.
So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship....
We can connect two computers over USB and we do it all the time. E.g. your phone and your PC. One or both of the computers needs to be able to act as a device. Most Android computers can switch between host and device depending on what's plugged in. It all comes down to implementation.
Good for them. I still don't want their equipment in our telecom networks but that's not a concern for their domestic usage. If anything, it's probably better for China to use Chinese equipment. Less Chinese money going out of reach into foreign billionaire pockets.
Unless both peoples buy wholeheartedly into nations without borders, this ain't happening. Unfortunately this could only happen sustainably if it happens on the basis of the working classes realizing their commonality and closeness. If it happens on the basis of free trade, the capitalist class will exploit the arbitrage opportunities between the two countries' working classes while turning those classes against each other, so they don't notice they're being co-exploited.
Years ago I saw independent analysis of Huawei gear. It was a shit show of vulnerabilities. That on its own was enough for me to conclude that I don't want any of this gear in critical data paths. Having exploitable vulnerabilities is a tactic the NSA has used to enter equipment. Whether Huawei was simply incompetent or they left security holes open on purpose doesn't really matter to me. I'd prefer not to have 'em. Also I'd prefer to have equipment from companies I can take over if needed. 🥹
Elite programmers make most of the important stuff
This is false. Not even gonna elaborate.
Competition is the solution
No. Competition is inefficient and the best software we have is built cooperatively. Linux, most open source software. We dislike duplication for a reason and seek to avoid it when possible. We try to avoid forking, instead we try to work together as much as possible. Corporations also run things cooperatively internally instead of duplicating effort. Competition is only needed when you a profit driven market is what determines what's offered and used and it comes with tremendous inefficiency.
I'm a big fan of free market capitalism. When there's a lot of churn...
Yeah. See above.
If you have an individual in charge of a company, that's better than having a mob
Oh Jesus... He doesn't realize that most of the problems that developers face which they can't fix, including himself when he was at Yahoo, are exactly because there's a guy or few in charge and the developers have no decision power.
Quit your job ...
Nope. I won't quit my job to join another place where I have no vote. As long as you're creating companies that aren't democratic by design, I'm changing one guy profiting from me for another. If the other guy is marginally more ethical, that's only gonna last as long as the push for profit knocks on the door. We can't all be CEOs so the only way to build sustainably ethical companies is for them to be ruled by the mob. One person, one vote. Otherwise I'm better off creating democracy by working to unionize the existing corporations.
If the guy wants to fund FOSS, great. But unfortunately this FUTO venture is unlikely to be the organization that dramatically changes the status quo. We need another billi that has read and understood a bit about class analysis and democracy to do that.
Watched this talk as well. These folks are clueless. I'm glad the Immich devs are getting money from them but that's not gonna last. Eron himself went about if they don't have X users in Y time, then they'll have problems (they not being Immich specifically).
Contribution/contributor license agreement. It's a document that transfers the copyright from the original author - developer submitting a patch or PR - to the project owner, e.g. FUTO. If FUTO required CLA for all Immich contributions, then FUTO would own the copyright for all the source code of Immich. This allows FUTO to relicense Immich under a different license, other than GPL, for whatever purpose, without asking anyone. For example they could make modified Immich versions for sale, or sell the Immich source code to third parties under EULA or any other license. Without a CLA, FUTO would have to get written agreement from every Immich source code contributor to change the Immich license, which would happen in 2000 and never, at least not without ponying up cash.
Yes it is absolutely worth it. I'm personally using SaltStack because I already knew some but if I were starting anew I'd go with Ansible. I completely disagree with the opinion that it's similar to Bash but I don't have the energy to go into detail for why. From user's perspective, config management code is much clearer to read and write, much less error prone than bash scripts and it's easy to reuse other people's battle tested code (often in production) to deploy things for yourself. Personally I find it way easier to read Salt code I forgot everything about than Bash.

I'm sure there are reasons for using Unraid but the original funky raid alternative they marketed has always struck me as extremely fishy. The kind of solution developed by folks who didn't know enough about the best practices in storage and decided to roll their own. I guess people like web interfaces too. Personally I'd never use it. Get Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS, learn some Docker, Ansible and Prometheus, deploy and never touch until you break it or the hardware breaks. Throw Webmin on it if you like dancing bears too.
