This is not bad design, it's just common sense.

People are way too entitled is the problem and assume that their bad planning/thinking automatically means something is badly designed. Blame anyone but themselves.

OP blaming their shitty decisions on others. Why are you buying something without knowing its dimensions?

Fuck I hate people like this. The answer btw is pretty obvious. From a weight distribution perspective it's easiest to have two feet as wide apart as possible.

He has literally fired most (not sure if all?) of Tesla's PR team in the past as well as Twitter's. Guy doesn't believe PR is worthwhile.

Won't this fail the same way Epic failed against Apple?

While this is abhorrent, I have to say in general Firefox is just painfully slow on mobile compared to other browsers. Don't know what it's doing but I stopped using it because it's noticeably slow.

Yes, I'm glad companies never change their minds about their policies. When they set a date they always keep to it and have never gone back to it due to consumer demand. Oh except they do that a fair bit. Guess we'll just have to see what Microsoft actually does when it comes time.

32 years is indeed young lol. Maybe you are young yourself so it seems older? There are companies that are hundreds of years old that have gone bankrupt in the last few decades, why would Linux be any different? Again, it may work for now but who knows in the future. But 32 years is nothing. There are older Unix-based systems like Itron and QNX still around and commonly used, but not sure they'll last.

And to your last point, I can just keep Windows 10 past 2025... It's not like lack of support forces me up. Do you not realize how many people still use unsupported versions? Check out the XP life cycle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Support_lifecycle

95% of ATM's were still using it for example 5 years after mainstream support ended.

Windows has always been free for me so it's no big issue. But yes, as a current Windows 10 user my point still stands that the best of both worlds is using it IMO. Have the widest support for games and can easily remove any bloatware you want from it already.

You are the one who originally changed the goal posts about it being changed in 2 years time and that being an issue. I'll worry about that in 2 years time - for all we know Microsoft will extend the support.

But also to your point, Linux is very young itself so you can't expect it to always be around. Once it's around for 100+ years sure, but I just don't see that being a thing. There'll come a time where it's no longer relevant.

You can say this about all software though? Linux also won't be around forever... So it's somewhat irrelevant.

I was more poking fun at the whole Lemmy circlejerk that Linux is the most amazing OS ever built and can do anything without fault.

? Thanks for the heads up, not sure how it's really relevant.

Good on Facebook! Right? That's what you're saying no?

This is human nature at end of day. If it's not being white/black, it's your football team, what country you're from, or on lemmy crap like whether you use Linux or not.

I never understood it myself but people are morons.

Even better as a Windows 10 user - get to avoid the issues with version 11 and the issues with Linux!

Oh boy. Wait till you hear about Trump! You'll be even sadder to hear the crimes he's done. :(

So you won't buy a Samsung because it may allow remote access, but the first thing you do on your phone is to remove as much access and problematic software as possible since it's riddled with it.

Just keep arguing with yourself, I won't stop you.

Oops.

Sorry buddy! Maybe next time research your phone manufacturer.

Yes. Unfortunately people who buy Apple don't care. This is what happens when you prioritise brand and design over functionality. You end up paying more for the brand (worse shit, but hey you can feel good about buying such a great product!).

Lol. The irony of recommending a Chinese brand over Samsung because of concerns of what they'll do with your data/wanting control is hilarious.

Samsung might shut down your phone remotely. Xiaomi does give your data over to Chinese government. I would pick Samsung over Xiaomi any day.

It isn't 100% clear, but all evidence suggests Elon Musk did not have millions inherited and was largely done through his own work. His parents had little to do with his success in America.

This is heavily disputed - but is described by several neutral sources as well as by Isaac Walterson in the biography of Elon Musk, and I do trust him as a good biographer.

Not to say he didn't grow up privileged which does make an impact, but not a case of just receiving millions for free.

Lemmy won't close unless users physically force it to! 😡

You must hate Lemmy now too! It's exactly what's happening right?
