There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them

The audacity of playing victim when there’s a warrant for your PM because he’s responsible for war crimes, while at the same time your country is occupying and illegally settling on the land of the people he’s committing war crimes against, is remarkable.

Fedora has hands down the worst installer I’ve ever seen. Some distros don’t have one, yes, some don’t have a GUI one, yes, some require additional configuration afterwards, yes, but Fedora’s is just confusing as hell for no good reason.

It’s also the only distro I had sound issues (i.e. no sound at all) with ever, and the only one where an installation has straight up failed to a point it created an unbootable system.

tldr: I wanted to try Fedora and capitulated on install. Still enough brainpower for EndeavourOS btw.

Love how 2/5 comments suggest using KDE (like any sane person) and I totally wasn’t going to do the same (like any sane person).

Arch is driving down the middle, flipping off both sides while having the time of your life.

(Caution: May be best or worst. Commenter may be heavily biased as he uses Arch btw.)

It used to be pretty terrible, but the frameworks are getting there, starting with the languages they are based on.

Believe it or not, Java has been optimized a ton and can be written to be very efficient these days. Another great example of a high-level, high-efficiency language is Julia. And then there is Rust of course, which basically only sacrifices memory-efficiency for C-speeds with Python-esque comfort. It’s getting better.

Which is exactly what I have written

c/unixsocks in a nutshell

You can hat that man all you want, but there is one thing we cannot deny: Everything he invested in turned out to be great* and apparently so did this AI.

*Social media companies not included; Brain thingy pending; Animals were definitely harmed during production

The only ads I’m exposed to are influencers and product placements. I recently bought something because of an influencer the second time in my life (excluding their own merch). I think I can manage.

I do fall for sales tho. Bad impulse control.

Tbf, some viruses are our friends. I would really like to avoid others tho

You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to develop even a fraction of a car. I have seen the madness first hand. Everything is specified precisely, tested, protyped and tested again. Pretty much every part, microchip, piece of software, you name it. In addition you have designers wanting stuff certain ways, cost cutting and so on.

Now take that, put some old farts in exec position into the equation and imagine you want to totally change how cars work. They may be convinced you are right at this point, but now you need to rethink and adapt all processes, develop and specify and prototype tons of new stuff, integrate that with old stuff, build new supply chains, test all that and repeat.

Comparing a company to a containership was always a great analogy. The current situation is attempting a 360 with one at full speed. Startups have the advantage of being build arround new ideas like centralised computing, autonomous driving, modern entertainment systems etc. They have disadvantage when it comes to cost, quality management, distribution, volume… That said, the technological advantage is very pronounced atm.

I’m sure we will get there eventually, but it will definitely take some more time for the Germans to fully catch up.

Yes, no, and they can still become a dish if you wrap them right…Or so I have heard…

You know, I think it’s kinda weird. Chatbots are all the hype and yet people hate terminals. Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash before they are cool again.

Funny how this reflects exactly my train of thought.

Oh god, what if that asshat runs for president next?

Oh, wait, isn’t he from Africa or something?

pew

Wait, doesn’t his buddy run the country, his party and the supreme court?

*panic intensifies*

For a second I didn’t not get why you’d want to point out to not be affiliated with KDE so explicitly… Then I read the name again. I’m not seeing it anymore man. They have broken me…
