Absolutely.
People like GNOME. People like Cinnamon. People like the Windows 95 UI.
If people want a DE from the 90s. Great they can have that. If people want a modern DE. Great, we can have that.
I just don't buy this, "Make GNOME Great Again", mentality either.

Comment Is RoR part of the problem? (Score 1) 95
Ill be honest, I have not been involved with any RoR development in a long time. Im sure both ruby and the rails framework have come a long way since the last I touched it.
The most cost savings and benefit one will see in the cloud is moving to "cloud native" architectures. Lambdas/functions and event streams along with other cloud native features. Ruby is not a first class citizen in many of these, which makes me wonder -- are they just hosting everything in containers and trying to manage it all as a RoR application? If so, yep. That will eat up a lot of money.

We are risk taking, freedom loving country. Having someone track your movements no matter how just the cause is against everything we stand for. It will eventually(months or years from now) be abused by someone in power. This is a given. We would simply rather take the risk than give up our freedoms. If people want a safe space with no risk, they can check themselves into a nice institution with padded walls.

Judge Deals Blow to RIAA 229
jcgam69 writes "A federal judge in New Mexico has put the brakes on the RIAA's lawsuit train, at least in the US District Court for New Mexico. The case in question is part of the RIAA's campaign against file-sharing on college campuses and names "Does 1-16," who allegedly engaged in copyright infringement using the University of New Mexico's network. In a ruling issued last month but disclosed today by file-sharing attorney Ray Beckerman, Judge Lorenzo F. Garcia denied the RIAA's motion to engage in discovery. This means that the RIAA will not be able to easily get subpoenas to obtain identifying information from the University."
