Weird reply, in that case.

I never said he was a piece of shit.

John Lennon admitted to hitting an ex girlfriend. He came out, apologised for it, and said he was trying to better himself but he had a whole load of problems.

Bizarrely, his ex later came out and said John didn't beat her and that she didn't know what he was talking about.

Ringo has also admitted to hitting a girlfriend before.

You literally said you nearly burned the school down multiple times.

Correction: they've been doing it since Windows 8.

Windows 8 came out 13 years ago.

They literally do not lol

In game purchases in steam games don't have to pay Valve, nor does Valve prevent you from uploading your game to other stores, which is what this ruling was about.

Maybe if you send enough fan mail to Tim Cook

Clearly you didn't understand the point I was making. I never said you weren't allowed to like a product.

The article exposes the title as a lie. People shouldn't reward that kind of journalism by reading it.

Congrats, you sound exactly like some Apple fanboy.

Moore's Law has been dead for a long time.

Moore's Law hypothesises that transistors in an integrated circuit will double every two years, primarily down to transistor density improvements.

Intel in particular really like to say it's still alive, because it's what investors want to hear, but in reality transistor density improvements have slowed quite a bit, and we've had to rely on other things for better performance.

Huh? EVs are more popular than they have ever been, and most of the developed world is edging ever closer to ICE bans for newly sold cars (most are 2035).

Why are you being so ideological about the fuel type people's cars use?

People frequently act like Lemmy users are different to Reddit users, but that really isn't the case. People act the same here as they did/do there.

This deadline wasn't some unknown thing suddenly sprung upon energy companies, this deadline has been known about for a long time, why have they left it this late? Were they just expecting the government to keep extending the deadline?

I can't believe I threw away my Dreamcast. I'm such an idiot.

I'm just telling you the facts.

but only providing instructions for.. what, fedora and rhel?

Yes, what, did you want me to provide instructions for everything under the sun? Look at what I wrote, I said "or whatever", I.e. or the equivalent commands on another distro.

And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to "feel like a hacker?"

Lmao you're just confirming you're trying to bait people here.

Fun fact there's a range of distros that don't have proper UIs for their package manager

Ok? What's your point? You'd only install a distro that leans heavily on the terminal if you're the kind of person who wants to rely on the terminal. I don't even know what point you're trying to make lmao

What exactly do you think is inside of those packages?

It varies. But regardless, that's a colossally stupid point. Installing random .exe files you find online also executes scripts.

The point you made was that on Linux the way you install programs is to go online and run random scripts. That is objectively a lie, and now you're backpedaling away from that point.

And you know, Flatpaks do exist and are the standard now.

We've been there for a long time.

Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we're used to it.

Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux's generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.

Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?

You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.

If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That's still not a random third party script, though.

People can put their energy wherever they damn well please. You can work on Linux phones if you want to.

This is the question that should've been asked before it was built and shipped.

Now that it has been, though, any effort to keep it out of landfill and find a use for the hardware is good.
