Wow, you are not only unable to accept that you’re wrong, you make references to exactly what others have talked about, and then you act like a dick about it.
Your comments apparently add nothing of value, so… Goodbye.
Nah, try reading through his messages in order. He gets nasty right away, as he did to another who pointed out his mistake. I figured I’d provide some supporting context, he again behaved like a dick. So I blocked him.
It seemed to go pearshape right from the very beginning.
I just get tired from angry posts all the fricken time. People have opinions you don’t agree with. People get stuff wrong sometimes. I posted something wrong by mistake yesterday and someone corrected me and I withdrew it. No biggie.
Block, don’t block, I don’t care. People should just relax a bit. Hulking out over the most ridiculous points is insane and not good for one’s mental health.
And boomer is telling you it was mainstream. Very much so. The only reason it wasn’t as developed as it is today is because computing wasn’t as developed as it is today.

Canonical was the early 2000s. Redhat was the early 90s. Inspire was the early 2000s. Collabara was mid-2000s. Ximiam was late 90s.
Not only was open source pretty popular, it had a not-insignificant group of companies working on it.
He’s very much correct.

Yet another example of unnecessary hostility? Just disagree, for God’s sake. I’m not really sure what the actual argument is about, just chill.

Doesn’t seem problematic to me at all.

“Hulking out”?
He made a mistake assumption, I provided info, he responded with nastiness, I blocked. I really don’t see what you’re hung up on here.
Nevermind.
