Weren’t all these points equally valid when the West actively thrust Ukraine into war, too?
You’re assuming NATO instead maybe cares about the lives of non-Ukrainians in Europe, I wouldn’t rely on that. We are all meat for the MIC profit blender. Winning or losing the war is almost irrelevant, no citizen of the core is safe so long as their deaths might make line go up in the short term.
Turns out they never wanted to. They were just conscripted under threat of execution.
Maria’s history is interesting, she’s basically spent her entire career calling every Venezuelan election fraudulent.
Jimmy Carter himself decried her and her organisation as releasing “deliberately erroneous” information. I guess she’s just more politically convenient now.
I really wish I wasn’t, but some freaky thing about my Galaxy means I have no compatible ROMs
Apple hardware may piss off in my world, glad it works for you but claiming some universal UX superiority is very silly.
I can’t stand the keyboard layout, the touchpad, the case shape, the crummy ports, I really dislike it all.
Admit you’re very picky and just want Apple because it fits your specific desires; that is fine.
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. And the whole club is on the list.
I’m on Fedora - Nvidia drivers used to be an issue for me some years back, but since then it’s all automatic, I haven’t even thought about drivers since buying my 3060.
Installing dual boot over a default windows installation would be tricky, bordering on infeasible. Because you would need to shrink the windows partition live (which is not supported (and even if you could, requires free space and comes with meaningful risk of data loss)) and alter the UEFI boot entries, which is also very risky and engineered to be protected from unauthorised writes.
Even if you got around all those limitations, Windows can constantly erase your Linux boot entries (thanks Microsoft), making a dual boot-on-one disk setup basically unusable every month which needs to be fixed. So thanks to this Windows behavior, this setup won’t work on many systems.
So you’ll pretty much only ever be able to install to another disk. And the portion of non-tech savvy users with a spare, unused disk is going to be effectively nonexistent.
Don’t get me wrong, an install-from-windows feature would be nice, but I don’t think it could feasibly overcome any meaningful barriers.
It’s the Linux kernel. Android is inarguably a flavour of Linux.
Linux definitively does dominate the end user market. You just mean the end user desktop/laptop market.
I agree though that preinstallation is the biggest deal. The fact that people have to install Linux at all is the problem. The installer itself is already 100x better than the Windows one, but that’s not enough.
Not to mention it means manufacturers ensure all the hardware is compatible, drivers etc are installed and working, which is why windows users feel it works better.
Same issue though. If manufacturers actually had linux preinstalled, they would ensure compatibility. This isn’t a windows/Linux problem, this is a manufacturer/default os problem.
I am amazed by what you say though. I’ve had 0 hardware problems installing Linux on many different machines in the past 5 years. All the incompatibility issues of old are gone by my perspective
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah 
If I didn’t write code? Network… make… worker…
On first read, I assumed the title asked what would be my second career choice. Other than self employment, that would be gardener.
Of course I Rage Against him, he’s me
This phenomenon is known as Galilean invariance (or Galilean relativity). Yep, as well as all the astronomical shit, the same Galileo was also the first to describe this.
Programming quick scripts and replacement for Google/Wikipedia more than anything. I chat to it on an app to ask about various facts or info I wanted to know. And it usually gets in depth pretty quickly.
Also cooking. I’ve basically given up on recipe sites, except for niche, specific things. AI gets stuff relatively right and quickly adjusts if I need substitutions. (And again, hands free for my sticky flour fingers).
And ideation. Whether I’m coming up with names, or a specific word, or clothes, or a joke, I can ask AI for 50 examples and I can usually piece together a result I like from a couple of those.
Finally, I’ll admit I use it as a sounding board to think through topics, when a real human who can empathise would absolutely be better. Sadly, the way modern life is, one isn’t always available. It’s a small step up from ELIZA.
The key is that AI is part of the process. Just as I would never say “trust the first Google result with your life”, because its some internet rando who might say anything, so too should you not let AI have the final word. I frequently question or correct it, but it still helps the journey.
This genuinely surprises me, I can understand having driver issues, but I honestly have had a perfect experience with extended desktop and screen mirroring, never a single problem. While finding Windows’ to be ass
