I take offense to this
Ah, yes, the kingdom where they secretly reign, the land where they invisibly rule
My reply was more about special use cases not being a good excuse that Linux isn’t ready. You’re right, most stuff people can easily do on a tablet or a phone, and that same stuff works just as well on a Linux machine. So someone that wants to do that stuff, but wants a machine more powerful than a tablet, can run Linux without issues.
I mostly just game and browse the Internet and my daily driver is Linux. I have not come across anything that I needed Windows for so far, in a year and a half of not using Linux. There may be some games I was vaguely interested in that don’t run easily on Linux, but day to day tasks, 3d printing/slicing software, basic image editing software, browsers, coding IDEs, all work native on Linux.
Sure, if there is a specific software that you really want to use, maybe that specific software isn’t available on Linux. But one individual running into multiple things that only run on Windows sounds like it is a fairly specific use case. At best, someone might need to use an alternative program. At worst, maybe that person needs to keep a windows environment around. But that doesn’t seem like the case for the majority of people.
What are these “real jobs” you speak of? At the absolutely very least, teachers typically also have off for many federal holidays, are you saying that isn’t a “real job”?
They are saying it is more general than money or information, that those are power but those specifically are not special. If we had a society without money, something else would occupy the same purpose of the psychological need of humans “to get more” to be on top.
They aren’t saying “money isn’t important to that”, they are saying “money isn’t important to that”.
It’s probably too much for a Raspberry Pi, but it runs perfectly fine on Linux
I don’t know if you’re trying to make it sound bad, but calling milk “titty juice” makes it sound better. I don’t like milk, but titty juice makes it sound refreshing.
Damn, hope you graduate to Third Grade by 40!
You don’t know that the kid hasn’t already told the mom about the accident. It’s not like she can come pick the kid up, it was her car that was crashed. Relying on a parent and asking them for help in a time of need doesn’t mean the kid isn’t also going to take responsibility. But the parent saying that fishing is more important is absolutely ludicrous. Sure, maybe the dad is too far away to be able to help at the moment, but he said he’s too busy to even talk (yet not busy enough to prevent sending those texts).
I say this as an American, but these are Americans confused by the concept of fractions. Using grams would likely terrify them more.
Until you start selling a 1/3 lb burger to outcompete the 1/4 lb burger, but people are “4 is more than 3!” so your marketing fails…
I fully understand the issues with the logistics. I get that the delivery people are often held to unreasonable standards and forced to insane expectations of quotas.
But, when there are 3 cars in the driveway, the lights are on in the house, and it’s the middle of the afternoon, it is absolutely the delivery person’s responsibility if they don’t even knock. They don’t even need to stick around more than 5 seconds, at least actually make the attempt.
I wish my delivery person used the doorbell or knocked. I’ve watched out the window as they walked up, put the “no one home” sticker on the door, and started walking away before I stepped out and told them I was there for the package.
The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.
If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.
You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?
I may be incorrect, but wasn’t Lincoln’s position even less direct and was “new states should decide for themselves”, but the south wanted “new states have an automatic yes”?
Robin Hood being my favorite Disney movie from my childhood, I did indeed know that! I liked the song before I ever saw the Hampater Dance, so it was a shock to me seeing it the first time
I had to scroll back up because I wasn’t paying attention and my brain initially just saw two dogs… I need more coffee
