Limux is finally done for:
Politicians at open-source champion Munich will next week vote on whether to abandon Linux and return to Windows by 2021.
The city authority, which made headlines for ditching Windows, will discuss proposals to replace the Linux-based OS used across the council with a Windows 10-based client.
If the city leaders back the proposition it would be a notable U-turn by the council, which spent years migrating about 15,000 staff from Windows to LiMux, a custom version of the Ubuntu desktop OS, and only completed the move in 2013.
The new plan, put forward by officials in the CSU and SPD parties, states a Windows 10 client has to be ready for use across the council by 2021 at the latest.
“The proposal aims to ensure that no later than by the end of 2020, a new Windows Basic Client should be the standard city client,” a Munich city council spokesman said.
The use of the open-source Thunderbird email client and LibreOffice suite across the council would also be phased out, in favour of using “market standard products” that offer the “highest possible compatibility” with external and internal software.
The full council will vote on whether to back the plan next Wednesday. If all SPD and CSU councillors back the proposal put forward by their party officials, then this new proposal will pass, because the two parties hold the majority.
Dr Florian Roth, leader of the Munich Green Party, said he expected the council to back the proposal, given the greater number of SPD and CSU members.
“The direction is back to Windows,” he said.
Yeah, no further comment neccessary I think. Too bad they couldn’t have waited at least one more year for the ten year anniversary of LHB.

WOOOOOO! ✊🤘
That’s just creepy.
no you’re creepy
Channel 9 on suicide watch
Your mom’s windows phone is creepy.
What was hillarious was the anti-Android contrarians at TMR BS-ing through their teeth about Windows phone. It’s incredile that highly intelligent people like Dr.Loser and TEG could be such wild demagogues. When you see that the only icons on every app ad are for iOS and Andriod you know that you’re platform is DEAD and BURIED.
No amount of elitist whining is going to change anything.
What? Oh sorry I was too busy reading lesbian vampire bondage erotica to care about a device I didn’t own.
YOU MONSTER!
I’m more of a fan of bisexual werewolf midgets in space, but who cares about what someone said a long time ago on a site that no longer exists about a phone that you didn’t own?
I love to read the holy bible. It teaches us good morals and beliefs, how to be a good man.
Dr. Loser and That Exploit Guy are not intelligent, WTF you smoking Garegin? They are angry Microsoft fanboys that use a thesaurus to inflate their ego.
BTW, what language does Dr. Loser speak?
You’re kind of a pervert, though.
I thought TEG was just an angry internet assclown that argued with people about anything even when they agreed with him.
From that webpage:
“Looking back on the bumpy road taken by Microsoft’s most ambitious mobile OS”
LOLOLOLOLOL-TROLOLOLOLOLoL11111!!111!!
Ahahahaha…
These guys can’t be for real, “most ambitious” (!?), are they fucking kidding me?!?!?!
The thing sucked; now, it’s true that every “touch” platform sucks its own balls, but WinPhone was the ass-clowniest of them all, it wasn’t just useless it was also fuck-ugly and completely incomprehensible – so three turds for the price of half.
(Yea, MS/turd platform was super cheap, only goo- wait, a free turd is still a turd, right, aah… so there’s nothing good about it.)
It lasted longer than Firefox OS, Ubuntu Phones, and was a damn sight better than Symbian but yeah.
Facebook knows who your wife is fucking.

I’ve just figured out what is wrong with each and every “software methodology” in existence. (Why I’m bothering to tell you this is beyond me. It’s a lucrative field. I could make millions, millions, I tell you! Except that, by definition, this is a recursive statement. I can’t sensibly sell a software methodology whose sole axiom is that all software methodologies rely on repeating themselves. Or can I?
The problem, well, one of the problems, I mean let’s face it there are several problems and I might even get around to dealing with the others later, is that any given “software methodology” wilfully misrepresents the way that software is actually created.
Briefly put: software of any size — and by size, I literally mean a screen-full or more — is generated by an asymptotically repetitive process. There is not a single “software methodology” in the world that can capture and describe this asymptotically repetitive process. I’ll go so far as to say there never will be.
To take one example from Extreme Programming (and please don’t tell me that you need to combine the lot before it will work. Tell that to the High Priests): Pair Programming.
This is based on two assumptions. (Three, actually.) The driving assumption is that, if you sit two programmers next to each other, and ignoring purely physical desiderata such as shared keyboards, a shared mouse, and a probable lack of deodorant, then this said pair will be able to monitor each other’s programming mistakes like a hawk and in real time and therefore there will be (almost) no mistakes.
There are so many reasons that this is a stupid theory, I don’t think I can enumerate all of them. I’ll give it a try. But first, I’ll demolish the other two assumptions.
2) Apparently, Pair Programming helps by “spreading the knowledge.” NO IT DOESN’T. But even if it does: the only reason to bring this up is because the original driving assumption has failed to convince anybody. Be very, very suspicious of anybody who resorts to this fall-back position.
3) Nobody else in the whole wide world ever uses “Pair Programming.” Nonsense. 90% of the time I’d rather program on my own. 9% of the time I call another programmer over (or get called over: it’s commutative) to check a particularly knotty problem out. And for the really grobbly 1% remainder, which is when you’re dealing with a bug or a catastrophe or $23 million about to be flushed down the drain by an idiot manager … you Pair Program. This is not a methodology. It isn’t even part of a methodology. It’s just what normal people do.
But back to enumerating the stupidity.
a) It truly is an absurd expense. Programmers are not cheap … unless you’re talking about settling the bill for lunch at the local Chinese restaurant.
b) All sorts of horrible personal dynamics are bound to ensue. What do you get when you bash two people with Aspergers Syndrome together? Pair Programming!
c) I strongly suspect that you get a horribly self-enforcing version of Confirmation Bias. Yes, you’ll probably spot compiler errors before the compiler spots them for you. (And maybe you’ll spot duck-typing errors before the unit tests spot them for you.) But unfortunately none of this has anything to do with the actual requirement. It’s just too easy to substitute an extra pair of eyes for proper peer review.
d) And so on. Honestly, I’ve never seen an argument for Pair Programming that is anything other than specious.
Anyway, here’s my insight. All programming activity involves iteration. Yes, all of it. Design, programming, writing unit tests … all of it.
This is fairly obvious. I’ve never written an architecture or a design that didn’t need wholesale revision once coding commenced. (I don’t believe anybody else has, either.) It goes without saying that the actual coding involves a huge amount of iteration, because let’s face it, the two or three times in your life that you actually got the thing right in the first place and it passed through the compiler without errors stand out, don’t they?
And then there’s unit testing. I’ll leave that for a bit later.
… OK, you’re going to have to wait for the rest of this. Sox versus Yankees tonight, and I accidentally hit “Save” when what I really wanted was to save a preview. I’ll get back to it tomorrow …
“Yea, MS/turd platform was super cheap, only goo- wait, a free turd is still a turd, right, aah… so there’s nothing good about it.”
It wasn’t. Lumia should be compared to other plastic phones (such as the Nexus 4/5/5X), not with aluminium-backed flagships.
The HTC M8 cost the same when running WP8 as when running Android.
BTW, I just noticed LHB has gone beyond the third page and keeps going on.
BTW, I believe there is value in pair programming because it reduces nerd ego code (aka code that it too smart for the sake of being too smart) and reduces the chance of WTFs in the code by half.
Although reviews of pull requests can have the same effect if the other people in the team don’t blindly click approve (but that is a big “if”)
BTW, I just noticed I don’t give a shit.
I love pair programming because my partner do everything, but I watch NSFW vids, and jack off while boss is not watching me.
🍆👌 —–>🥛
I always masturbate into the bosses coffee. I mean it worked for Harvey Weinstein, why not me?
I love to wear skirts, without underwear, it lets air flow through my balls. Because I’m an adorable slut 😁
Girlfriend, you need to shave those legs.
What if you dated a female for six weeks, and you find out she is transgender today? With boob and genital plastic surgery
Does she suck a mean dick? Drain your testicles on a nightly basis with her attempts to fuck you into the downstairs neighbor’s apartment? Have a stellar personality and impeccable character?
I’d be good with that.
What if my girlfriend is transgender? 😨
it’s not gay unless balls touch
Nah, it’s only gay if you aren’t wearing a hat.
See, this is not gay but this is totally gay.
“It wasn’t. Lumia should be compared to other plastic phones (such as the Nexus 4/5/5X), not with aluminium-backed flagships. ”
Ok, so towards the end of the FailPhone experiment they were among the cheapest, or so I seem to remember – but still a turd.
My transgender girlfriend bought a windows phone. I dumped her. She didn’t suck dick. I am now dating a androgynous, non-binary man with a feminine penis who only uses Android. He sucks good dick.
Transgenders > female
1) They are more logical, females are emotional
2) No periods
4) No alien gremlin in her stomach
5) Cross-platform gender, compatible with gay and straight men
Transgenders also can be lesbians
That moment you find your wife posts on Reddit.
Transgenders also can be lesbians
Not according to lesbians.
I love the cognitive dissonance caused by “trannies” who are just dudes with makeup claiming to be lesbians. I mean, it’s just a dude in a dress swallowing his pride because he thinks it’s a workable mating strategy.
I searched Riley Dennis for a video to mock and coincidentally this was the first result, conveniently posted yesterday. Thanks Riley!
I swear if I hear one more bi-sexual tart call herself a lesbian I am voting for Trump in 2020.
Wtf man, the vid gave me breast cancer
“BTW, I just noticed I don’t give a shit.”
Dude, this is not LHB or some other place for the special, you can’t start a topic and the post “lol I don’t care derp derp”, or choose to participate in the current topic by posting “lol I don’t care derp derp”.
If you don’t like the current topic, stay silent.
Or even better, stay silent unless you have something to say.
Nah, still don’t care about windows phone. Your faux outrage is amusing, though. You could be the next JoeMonco.

The only thing that is truly of no interest whatsoever around here is all you “special” kids from LHB and your posts.
We just scroll by your posts without reading them.
Do you even think about the bullshit you’re shoveling? You can’t quote an entire comment, say you don’t read them, and expect to be seen as anything but a retarded JoeMonco wannabe.
That’s actually more drama than the asspie whining about everyone not talking about windows phone. You need to step it up, bro.
FUCK YOU I AM GOING BACK TO NEW TM REPOSITORY
U MAD BRO, U MAD? FIGHT ME BRO. BECAUSE I”M NOT HERE EVER AGAIN!
Good luck finding a good quilt design, bro. Maybe you can download it to your windows phone?

“Do you even think about the bullshit you’re shoveling? You can’t quote an entire comment, say you don’t read them, and expect to be seen as anything but a retarded JoeMonco wannabe.”
Dear retard from LHB.
Just don’t post nonsense if you have nothing to say. Nobody wants to read your “lol I don’t care derp derp” posts.
lol, I really don’t care.
Way to piss off the whiny little bitch, bro.

Winodws Phone dead, 2018 Year of the Linux Desktop
In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby, so we have an accurate story of the events.
This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone. He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him — and him alone — and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980’s in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful influence which he could use so falsely.
We have a development sub-tree called “ports”. Our “ports” tree builds software that is ‘found on the net’ into packages that OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do. All the other operating system projects make exactly the same decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
Richard felt that this “ports tree” of ours made OpenBSD non-free. He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.
That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some people who listen to him. But we don’t listen to people who do not follow their own stupid rules.
It doesnot change the fact that 2018 is Year of the Linux deskop :^)

Dude, you have to talk about windows phone. I mean nobody bought one and it was justifiably abandoned, but damn man, you HAVE to talk about it. That Exploit Monco demands it!
If you don’t he’ll throw a tantrum like a two year old in a grocery store.

Looks like windows phone’s aren’t affected by this.
Windows phones are impregnable.
You can’t break into a device no one uses.
If you really want to protect the women in your family from other males, then tell them to stay away from males as much as possible.
Encourage them to live with other women. To never marry, and to never, ever depend on a male for anything.
Encourage them to not have children, because they will never be able to get away from the male that impregnates them. To remember that he can always walk away to freedom and leave her with the responsibility.
Distance from males is the only safe way, since males insure that proximity to males is proximity to violence, and male systems protect and encourage that violence.
If I had daughters, that is the beginning of what I would teach them. Additionally, I would tell her that if she absolutely wanted to have children, to do it on her own, and not share her pregnancy with the sperm donor. I would also encourage her to abort the fetus if it were male, because we don’t need to risk bringing yet more violence into the world for women to live with.
The advice is harsh, but the reality of systemic male violence has put us here. It is what males have created. And they don’t want to change it.

Year of the Linux desktop 2053 💩🤥🤡
Wait, he’s serious? After all these years he’s still at it? How many of that 2% are proxies, front-end caching servers, and the like spoofing user strings? Also, MacOS dead within two years? What a joke. That’s basically impossible, outside of something like societal collapse. Current warranties extend beyond that. Even if the company suddenly dies, people will sell existing parts to each other over eBay for at least a decade. People are still clinging to their Core2 Macbooks from the 2006-2009 time period.
What’s funny is this guy is probably a dyed-in-the-wool respect wamen lefty and just used the exact same short term graphing method that he complains about his political opponents using to debunk climate change. What does Linux adoption look like over 25 years, Bryan?
People pay him to bullshit about linux?

Heh, hard to believe. He’s not even trying with his reward tiers.
I think the biggest reason people hate Apple is that it’s a status symbol. I remember watching two different movies where they mock people for wearing Armani. It’s not that Armani makes crappy clothes or that their customer support or store locations are bad.
Let’s not kid ourselves. PC OEMs completely screw the Windows experience. Just a few days ago I had to deal with an HP where it would open some apps on one screen and some on the other. Turned out this was because the Intel control panel were conflicting with the built it Windows one.
I actually can’t believe that dorks think that Apple would die and they wouldn’t be able to download apps anymore. We all know that nerds are morons. My hipster bother actually told me to not set up a router between two networks and mix two different apartments together, because it “create a sense of community”. I had to live with having my neighbor’s printer and cellphones in my LAN for a few years.
Garegin, you are a fucking moron. Get the fuck out of here!
lol @ Apple is a status symbol. Great sophistry, dude. Next you’ll tell us Hillary lost because of Russian Facebook ads.
