They don't currently, but Filecoin is supposed to create an incentive for people to host other people's files. Obviously, you'll have to pay some amount to have your files hosted.
Seems like a good start though. LowRISC(http://www.lowrisc.org/) is working on completely open processors, so if the adoption of RISC through SiFives' processors can improve support for RISC-V, the path towards open processor hardware should be a lot easier.
The problem is that electrolysis alone already kept breaking hundreds of addons, so that wouldn't have worked. The only way to prevent breakage, from what I've gathered, would have been to just keep Firefox like it is and not go on with Quantum, which really wouldn't have been great either. And of course, with more users testing WebExtension addons, those new addons hsould mature a lot faster than before.
This bus episode really isn't that bad, but there are terrible episodes where he is just constantly whining and being mean to his little sister, even pushing her around.
Exactly, use the correct controller for the correct scenario. Keyboard+mouse works for many games, but for games where you control vehicles (racing games, aircraft simulators, submarines), joystick controls just work better.
Also, let's not forget that Microsoft would probably help out with hardening the security of the controllers. It's not like the Navy would have to reverse engineer the controller to figure out how to make it more secure.
Even youtube is suffering from blatant copyright violations with all those piracy live streams. I still don't completely understand why that suddenly became a thing.
To be fair, you could make a distribution that works this way (or you could modify a current install). Simply make critical files belong to root, make files that are fairly important (config files) belong to a special user, and make user files belong to the user. This way, you can do day-to-day system administration with a more powerful but still limited user, while performing critical operations, such as installing a bootloader, as root. NixOS sort of does something similar, although not necessarily for the reason of preventing breakage. Any regular user can install packages for his/her own environment, which the daemon installs in the package directory that belongs to "nixos" You still need to use root for system configuration, unless the "configuration.nix" could also be chowned to the "nixos" user.
Well, I could see a problem occurring if Poettering decided not to represent efivars as files. Many people would claim that Systemd is trying to get rid of the Unix philosophy and force everyone to use the software if they want to keep up. After all, so many people are already complaining that Systemd uses a binary format to store logs.
My view is that treating everything in the universe as part of the same filesystem hierarchy is one UNIX philosophy we should have dispensed with long ago. I don't think it makes sense to project the same abstractions we use to represent file storage onto other aspects of a system just because they also happen to provide some information and then to treat everything as part of a huge, monolithic, homogeneous structure. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard is very complicated already -- a discussion for another time, perhaps -- but what does something like "rm -rf /" (or any other actual file/directory manipulation) even mean at this point? I think reverence for some of these ideas just because they are "the UNIX way" is holding the industry back.
