But that's the exact problem. The human body adjusts.
One person in Norway might tell you that 59°F is t-shirt weather while another person living in India might say that you'd better bring an extra jacket.
One person in Egypt might tell you that 91°F is okeyish while elderly people in Denmark is dying of heatstroke.
People in metric countries have no problem comprehending that -17°C is a cold fucking day and that 37°C is a heat record in most countries.
Please elaborate. I'm trying to understand why you think that people perceive Fahrenheit better than Celsius (metric).
A human has a core temperature between 36.1°C (97°F) and 37.2°C (99°F).
If a person has a fever, it can be anything from 38°C (100.4°F) to 40°C (104°F).
If we then don't have a thermometer to measure the temperature, our perception of "hot" will be the same when trying to determine if there's a fever or not.
Down at the beach water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F). So it's dead simple for a 3 year old to understand since they just have to see the ice/ steam.
100°F not so much since there's nothing you have that you can relate to that is 100°F exactly.
No degree at all but been working IT since the 90's.
It's fun that when I started in IT everything went from centralized (mainframe and terminals) to decentralized (PC). Then came Citrix and everything went towards centralized. Smartphones and apps came so we went decentralized again.
Then cloud came and we essentially went centralized again.
It's all about trends, the pendulum swings back and forth....
Yes and no.
There's a lot of Russian trolls that are manipulating the newsflow and political discussion trying to make a lot of discussion and news about fx Ukraine to drown.
If you participate in the discussion and happen to have an opinion that's not in line with their agenda you will be downvoted with a sledge hammer.
However, this is nothing new. A lot of us came to Lemmy from Reddit and things weren't much different there.
Just try to not see it as something personal.
There are a lot of communities on Lemmy that are friendly and welcoming even if you happen to have an unpopular opinion now and then.
Remember to write things like you would do if you were saying it to their face in real life. It's easy to be cocky when you are anonymous, not so much when they stand in front of you.
When you write something, always read through it one extra time and maybe take a pause before "sending" it. Since it's text a lot of nuances is lost. This means that something you wrote in an ironic tone that is meant to be funny can be interpreted as serious and a slap in the face by the readers.
Normally it's not lack of Windows compatibility breaking the use of an application with wine, it's the frameworks and libraries the application was built with/need to have access to.
So check what additional libraries and stuff your application have as a prerequisite.
Visual C 2005? 2010? DotNet framework? Which version? And so on.
When you know what the application needs, then you can Google for "wine DotNet 4.5" (just an example) to get a feeling what problems people had and how they solved it.
Essentially wine needs to know where to find them when you start your application with/in wine.
Also, if your application uses MSSQL Express or similar, you might be out of luck. So if that's the case you should start googling on how to get that running (if even possible) before installing.
Good luck, be stubborn and make sure to have fun. There's a lot you'll learn in this adventure of yours that will come in handy again and again in the future.
If you're not tech savvy enough to get the software running under for example Wine, you might be better off with Windows.
Trying to get support from the vendor for anything not Windows will not be easy if even possible.
Anyways, If you're still going for Linux, I guess that Wine is what you're looking for.
The statistics seem to be based on User Agent. A lot of people"fake" their user agent to avoid fingerprinting and other things.
I myself used to do it when I wanted to download Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft.
If your UA said anything Windows you were forced to use download Microsoft USB Tool. If it said Linux you got a direct link to the ISO.
No need to worry, this is yet another example of the Russian economy booming!
