  • Wow you are stupid, aren't you? It's called a joke and not a debate.

  • Yes, using the Wine translation layer.

  • For web browsing, that almost makes no difference. As long as the browser is being updated, the most important attack vectors are closed. Even if there are any exploitable vulnerabilities on the OS, that will stop malware from even getting to them.

  • First of all, there are specialised Enterprise distributions of M$ Windows. Furthermore, what ground would any company have to sue M$ on what the latter put in their own operating system?

  • I don't want that kind of anti-cheat on GNU/Linux. It is invasive to the point of being all-seeing spyware. If one cares so little about one's privacy and system integrity, one should go back to M$ Windows.

  • Okay, but understand that from for example my point of view, your perception appears really skewed because my GNU/Linux installations have never "destroyed [themselves] after a while". Respectfully, I think that you project your Linux failures unto the entire ecosystem, based on issues that were unique to you.

  • All of those things have nothing to do with GNU/Linux and everything with the desktop environment you chose.

  • I think we should be thankful for having users contribute long-form thought-out content like this, instead of ridiculing them.

  • Principally correct, but please note the difference between "open-source software" (OSS) and "free and open-source software" (FOSS). They are two related, but different philosophies, and principally, GNU/Linux belongs to the latter rather than to the former.

  • Oh man, the ending for Ep. 9 was just insanely cool! It saddens me so much that the show is almost over :(

  • The moon has a volume of 21,971,669,064 km³. I am very certain that you could fill the area in question with that!

  • The U.S. did not grant any "concessions" to Japan, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally, and rightfully so, it is good that the free world eliminated that maniacal genocidal regime.

  • You underestimate how extremely complex semiconductor photolithography is. It is the most complex manufacturing process ever conceived by humans to produce the most complex systems ever built by humans.

  • First of all, it's not the "world's only chip factory". Maybe for some bleeding edge node like 2 nm, but most photolithography systems use larger feature sizes. Secondly, lightnings haven't been an issue anymore for more than a hundred years now.

  • Read the article, the ads are part of Google programmes/partnerships with advertisers and are meant to present buyable products that are supposedly relevant to the user's query.

  • Yes, but people forget that our brains, and therefore our minds, are also "simply" statistics, albeit very complex.

  • My guess is that they don't sell to none incorporated entities at all.

  • RISC-V is just an ISA, the same for ARM and other RISCs and CISCs. There's no guarantee that RISC-V will be any freer than current CPUs, because the actual implementation and manufacturing are the job of the OEMs.
