Technically correct, best kind of correct.

That makes more sense. I'd be interested to know the absolute increase in the number of learners in the USA but I guess the point remains that the ban caused some kind of uptick. As someone who's been learning Mandarin off and on for many years I can only say good luck to them.

9m monthly Chinese learners in the USA? That's pretty crazy.

Light a fire inside a big snowman? I don't have igloo what you're talking about.

I don't think it follows that a product having many users means it is not hated. Just look at health insurance in the US. I'm not saying everyone is secretly itching to ditch Windows and move to Linux as soon as possible but I do think the vast majority of people simply don't care and just use whatever the default option is provided that things work well enough. If it becomes just as easy to use Linux as Windows (including PC vendors offering Linux preinstalled and working with all appropriate drivers) I think we'd see more people switching because of the slightly cheaper cost alone.

True enough but it's not his looks that bother me, personally.

Windows: So you're saying there's a chance

This is a good point. I think it's definitely worth people trying it out if they haven't and they might be surprised by how good it is. That said, it does still depend on the person, if there's a particular app or workflow that needs Windows and there's simply no good alternative then you're kinda stuck which sucks. For me I almost never boot into Windows these days but I still wouldn't feel comfortable totally removing it yet. Maybe one day soon.

And get ripped forearms.

Wait no don't go back, that's just vice signalling!

The games are mine

Except that these lessons will come at the expense of people who had no choice. Children and the immunocompromised. The adults deciding not to vaccinate their kids are likely protected.

Haven't read the article just yet but it's so insane how far this has come and all the pieces that came together over so many years. Very excited about the future of SteamOS

Thanks for clarifying, you're right he got just under 50%. For some reason I thought he got a majority this time but I was misinformed.

I thought it was the majority this time around, was it not? Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning.

That seems like a speed running exploit

I don't think it's used as a prefix but as a unit symbol. Point still stands though, unfortunately.

Grammar don't matter

Yeah the prologue level they showed looked incredible. I really hope they can give the game all the polish it needs, after so long in development they absolutely need to release something with quality to match.

The pills will ease the pain
