Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

I kinda got bored halfway through. From what I gather they're salty that GitHub is switching to react? If that's the issue then the headline is rather misleading isn't it?

Surely legacy software is one that drifts into obscurity through lack of investment which is the polar opposite of GitHub rewriting their entire front end..

The reason you're struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don't need to be carrying a USB drive.

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

I suspect if this was enabled by default there would be uproar from people annoyed the distro was stealing their bandwidth, and if it were opt-in then very few people would do it.

Windows Update uses peer to peer to distribute updates. It's one of the first things I always disabled.

I despise powershell. But I have no actual reason for that opinion. .. I'm just familiar with Bash so anything else looks like too much effort.

I'm pretty sure the tournaments are just memorising lists. A man won the French competition without being able to speak French... He just memorised the accepted words.

The fact she was on vacation is entirely irrelevant to the story. It's inclusion is solely to lead the reader to think it was her primary residence.

The cynic in me immediately thinks this is so Facebook can further connect your activity to sell

We really need a separate community for Microsoft news.

Adding "btw, does anyone of you know a good alternative for PowerPoint?" does not make this a Linux topic...

It's a really odd mechanic that only one person is involved in the conversation. Are the rest of the party just stood back twiddling their thumbs? Very rarely do people converse like that in real life.

The push for increased piracy is well-intended but for rightsholders it represents a major drawback too;

I assume they meant to write privacy there because I can't imagine enhanced piracy was intended
