Sexy laptop with no proprietary drivers or software, if it gets funded… Links Chris Hoffman Shared with: Public, Linux Mint +1’d by: Wing Wong Comments Wing Wong - 2014-11-20T04:17:26Z It… it looks like a macbook air with the trackpad off to the side a bit. And a full qwerty keyboard squished in place. What’s the pricepoint? Christopher Hicks - 2014-11-20T04:42:29Z $2000 +- $200 is their MSRP and if you get in on the campaign you can have it for $1550 +- $150. It definitely looks like a MacBook but without proprietary bits inside. :-) And it might even be cheaper than a MacBook Pro. ...

Let us be clear: I am part of the problem. I say “ops guys” all of the time and it is clear to me now how tasteless that is. I’m sorry. I call myself a feminist, but it does not fit with my behavior here. I will try harder. I can replace “ops guys” in my brain with “ops folks”. I know I can. I will keep trying. +Bridget Kromhout Thanks for an excellent article. You are absolutely correct on so many levels. The ops community definitely needs more diversity and wider visibility. I’m proud of what I’ve done to make our community more diverse by prodding recruiters and encouraging women to interview for ops jobs. Clearly that would be an easier and more effective effort if our community were more respectful and welcoming. I will help make that happen. ...

This guy talks about Linux distributions for 13 paragraphs without mentioning package formats or using your desktop to develop for the server. He’s trying to push for splitting server and desktop distros without mentioning CoreOS. Could this be why folks accuse him of not using Linux? Maybe he talked to some actual Linux users, but ignored what they said and wrote what he felt like writing. Maybe he thinks Linux is controlled by some big corp and that this whining will get things done. Maybe they’re so desperate to print Linux articles it doesn’t matter if they’re clearly written by somebody who uses some other OS to get their work done. ...
