Quote: "Why are the two APIs for basic file management? Why are you asking ISVs to do double the work?"
Seriously, is he first to ask this? I was thinking the same thing since I am playing with linux server for almost a year.
Ubuntu installation have like 4 different desktops environments. There are probably like a dozen VNC servers. None of them works out of the box. Even if many, many things works out-of-the-box many more itches the hell out of you i.e. dark them in debian causes on some websites to render white letters in white input fields 
Some applications uses apt, some snap, some docker, some appimages, some others etc. What is great about FOSS world is IMO its biggest weakness.

You could, but you wont because too many of us developers think we have a better way (and sometimes that's true, we do) and want everyone else to know it and follow it. Hence the fragmentation of Linux, Android and every other flavor of *nix.
This will continue until all come to the unity of faith that is Windows.

There are many reasons (problems in the general Linux ecosystem) that this will probably never happen. Until and unless Microsoft kills Windows off and comes out with their own Linux distro, we're all up Kernel Creek without a paddle.

The two newly found vulnerabilities, which have been addressed, would have allowed hackers to employ timing side-channel attacks to steal cryptographic keys that are supposed to remain safely inside the chips. No attacks in the wild yet, but let's run around like crazy anyway

Let’s take a dip into the data and see what 17,000 developers from 155 countries revealed in SlashData’s report, Developer Economics: State of the Developer Nation 17th Edition. And 10 million of them are still trying to figure out the difference between '==' and '==='
Sorry, that's actually just 1 million. The other 9 don't know there's a difference and wonder why they used '===' on that code they just copied and pasted.

Free Internet access must be considered as a human right, as people unable to get online -- particularly in developing countries -- lack meaningful ways to influence the global players shaping their everyday lives, according to a new study. It's free? I'll take two.

So we get places where people have internet, but still lack drinkable water, food or shelter. At least they can than voice their complaints on twitter.
Another giant leap for mankind.

As the "government" of those countries would allow a free (from freedom) internet to the population so they can influence global players... no matter how free (from gratis) it is. 
I think it would actually happen the opposite, internet in those places would just help to "government" to keep population even more repressed.
I mean... Propaganda, disinformation, blocking real information, cat videos...

The new mobile app, which is now out in beta for iOS, with Android support coming soon, offers all of the basic features you’d want from a mobile app like this Now you can break the build with your phone
Not entirely sure how it differs from just using the website, but there you go.

It would not be that surprise if chromium was like facebook API (sending data back even if you don't want to)

How'd they manage to garner that URL? Must have cost a fortune in bribes, payoffs, and domain registration.
