All of our lives could be so much better. We should stop making dystopian futuristic movies, and start making hopeful ones that help people imagine how much BETTER things could be.

We’ve been doing it for a long time. Linus is from Finland.

Nuanced yes, but it largely being driven by a Japanese guy who wanted to sell US software and US companies who didn't want to compete by actually selling compatible hardware is no less damning.

It gives more details, but it doesn't particularly make the US not look like a bunch of dickholes whose definition of "free market" changes to shape whatever suits them from one moment to the next.

I dunno, I kinda fw it. Like having a tag-based system for grouping files instead of nested folders does give me less anxiety in organizing everything, and it lessens the bloat due to duplicates

Yeah this OS would suck as soon as the 00s hit with the global Internet. This OS seems completely incompatible with how the world actually works and would probably collapse under its own design by the year 2010. A file is an arbitrary string of bytes. Removing the ability for the user to handle them like this is so obtuse. The reason why we can poke modern OSes the way we can is to prevent requiring a man-year of work every time we need a major new feature.

The idea was that every layer, from silicon to user interface, would be designed together, with no compatibility debt to existing platforms.

...which makes compatability debt between it and literally everything else.

Japanese customers genuinely do like it like that. Rakuten do A/B testing up the wazoo just like every other big ecommerce company.

It's almost like they have another culture than North American or European...

I dont speak Japanese. is it this?

If you view it on mobile its right at the top under the price
