Apple är ju mer skrämmande än Microsoft.

More recently a member of the FSF joined the UK LUGMaster mailing list and kicked off a shitstorm by suggesting that all UK Linux User Groups (LUG) should change their names to GLUG - GNU Linux User Groups. The 'deal' was that if they did this, they'd get a link from an FSF site to their 'GLUG'. When one LUG agreed to this, the FSF member edited their wiki page to add (a ridiculous amount of) detail about GNU and the FSF. When that detail was moved off the front page to a separate page (making their front page more readable), the FSF representative withdrew the offer of a link and promptly left the mailing list.
I am a pragmatic Free software advocate. I would love to be able to run a completely Free Software house, but feel that right now, the totally Free desktop/laptop is not for me, so I use non-free video drivers, non-free network firmware - just like the vast majority of the world right now. One member of the FSF offered to send me an ethernet cable to resolve my broken wireless card when using Free software. I didn't see that as a solution, so instead I used Ubuntu with a non-free wireless-firmware based driver - which works.
Is this the absolute best the FSF can do with their charitable donations? Don't they have something better to do with their time?

I’m afraid I have a confession to make. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased an iPhone. And to make matters worse, I’m wonderfully happy with it.

Apple’s approach is somewhat like this. Their APIs are grouped into big components that you can quickly get to grips with, and spend your time on the interesting bits of the application. Linux’s API stack is more like a box of bits, you have to know how to fit them together and build the chassis before you start.
The only people that really delight in the differences between GTK+, GDK, Cairo and X11 are the authors of those particular parts of the platforms. The rest of us really wish we just had a single piece marked “InterfaceKit” that we could use.
Jo men summa summarum så drivs ju utvecklingen framåt....upnorth skrev:Jo, och det har ju Apple och Google (isch, med Android då) fattat.
