That’s a lie perpetuated by capitalists to dissuade resistance.

Doesn’t apply, nor matter.

Malice or not, their systems didn’t delete my photo, that’s the point.

Louis does that a lot.

Valve made the Steam Deck super repairable, gave us a literal disassembly tutorial, and partnered with iFixit, and the only thing they mentioned is that opening a device with thread lock will make it weaker and that batteries can be dangerous.

Louis doesn’t actually like that users don’t need his input to repair this device, and feels threatened by iFixit, so suddenly repairability isn’t enough and Steam Deck = bad.

Why are we using a Microsoft mascot as a symbol for fair technology?

Do people need a reminder of what Microsoft was up to when Clippy was a thing?

A photo I deleted 10 years ago resurfaced on my Google Drive account recently.

I’m sure it was deleted, and it had never appeared before until now.

But sure, they’re being honest!

They most certainly will not switch (or switch and not decide to go back after a few weeks) with the timing of the release of Battlefield 6, which requires Windows. It’s an EA game, so I’m not touching that, but they’re doing a lot of marketing and it’s working.

I hate to say it, but it’s literally PewDiePie recording a video and showing young gaming fans Linux and calling it “cool”. That’s it. The guy’s got 110M subscribers.

I’ve used Enterprise IoT for a while, which is supposed to be the cleanest possible build of Windows (except for the Chinese government special one) and that STILL somehow managed to introduce ads after updates, reset settings, force me to use the GameBar, and so on.

Average Linux command naming: yoink

Average Windows PowerShell command naming: Do-QuickPleaseRunProgramDeleteCache -Now -Force -NoFail

I keep my old smartphone precisely so I can install banking apps and other annoyances.

Feel free to track the burner phone that stays on the same location, turns on once a week, is got tape on the cameras and never uses the browser.

People care a lot about macOS because you can charge users $15 for a GUI wrapper around a terminal command and they will pay and even recommend your app. I’m not even joking, there are a thousand examples of apps like this. If your app actually does anything, you can charge $30 and they will pay.

Now on Linux you could release the cure for cancer for $0.99 and you’d get screamed at. And I say that as a Linux user. Which means you need significantly higher numbers than macOS to achieve the same revenue, which also means the companies developing the commercial software that holds back adoption of Linux will take a long while before starting to care.

Can you imagine the absolute nightmare that the digital world will become once major infrastructure and every other app is poisoned by AI codebases filled with vulnerabilities and nightmare convoluted setups to do basic things?

Have you even seen what Claude does, randomly, if you tell it a simple bug fix you requested didn’t work? I’ve seen it simply say “Oh, sorry, let’s try something else” and start rewriting everything - from top to bottom - trying to fit previous code in it’s limited context window so it ends up generating this abhorrent mix of code segments that do nothing but look important, fragments of the original code base, and a lot of new code that doesn’t even fix the issue in the first place.

With path tracing it runs significantly worse than it does on Windows. Without it, it runs roughly the same. RTX 4060 Ti.

People often repeat that Nvidia is a nightmare to get working and that you need to install some sort of pre-packaged distro that configures Nvidia for you but… that hasn’t been true for years?

Get any distro you want, from Fedora to Arch, install nvidia-open, reboot… that’s it? Maybe install extra packages for 32 bit support, video decoding and CUDA if you want, optionally. Not different from installing Nvidia drivers on Windows at all, except you’re not running a .exe, but that’s true for any package.

I also really respect and like the finale, which is rare for a cartoon

Still no source, huh? No way! It’s such a totally real epidemic! I’m sure you’re full of evidence

So no source? Nice try, but it’s quite obvious you’re trying to dodge the absolute lack of evidence for this pathetic “epidemic”.

The literal Science Memes community was mocking higher education and the thread was full of people trying to convince others to never go to college. It’s bizarre how strong the anti-education sentiment is around here.

Still avoiding linking that source, huh? There are better ways to try and hide the fact you can’t find a good one.

Consider providing a source better than a random screenshot from a Tumblr post, then.
