I wish.

You’re changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I’m not the average “I’m using Arch btw” Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

If I wasn’t a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That’s how I prefer Linux.

Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It’s not the hardware, it’s not having to deal with Windows.

Time 2 years top, there will be an AI that converts perfectly COBOL into JavaScript.

Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can’t run strike commander!

With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

It was somehow fun.

But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It’s probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

That’s fair, but then stop using the “federation is like email” propaganda.

Brilliant, all the propaganda about “join us, the fediverse is like email” gone to shit. More like “it’s like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages”.

I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we’re afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.

That’s bold coming from the company (IBM) that helped the Nazis organize a well structured genocide.

I don’t like Louis very much, because while we’re on the same team, he’s usually extrem in his opinion, and most importantly, he takes 30 minutes to explain a 3 minutes argument.

But on this, he’s right 100% I watched the whole thing! I’m an ex Netflix customer, btw.

I got gifted an old MacBook (I never thought of buying one myself) and started using it mainly because I liked the UI, but I’m generally speaking a windows user at work and Linux sysadmin at home.

When I checked up the MacBook systems, I see it has 4 GB of RAM and I thought “that’s pathetic!”

But surprisingly enough, the Mac OS handled everything I throw at him with decent performance and I’ve never felt the OS was overwhelmed.

I don’t know if this is a testament of how well integrated and optimised Mac OS is (after all, it’s still BSD) or how bad Windows is.

But still, for the price they’re charging for these machines, adding at least a couple of gigs of RAM would be expected!

Yes, why?

That’s fascinating! Love NL btw, amazing country!

Ted Lasso? That TV series created by check notes Apple?

MMS and UMTS videocalls were dead in the water the second mobile carriers tried to charge a truckload for that. They did this, they basically made Whatsapp the standard.

We use Whatsapp a lot in Europe, but business fronts still communicate with phone and email. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, everything is on whatsapp! You book an hotel? whatsapp message. You need a taxi? whatsapp! you want to order in room service? send a whatsapp message, there’s not even a phone in the room. A tour guide will contact you directly on whatsapp, if you don’t have it installed, good luck.

Oh, now you want Europe’s strong arm? Google? Now? Fuck off, you yankee!

EDIT: Also, we European literally don’t care. Everyone is using Whatsapp or Telegram. There’s no “Blue vs green bubble” war here in Europe, only America can get angry on such idiocy.

Upvote for Frank, he’s such an amazing person!

Working multiple jobs is a part of the fabric of the working world

is this guy for real? is this a common thought in America?

Does it sound fucking dystopic only to me?!
