Lithuanian, you got it right! Though you could've guessed any Slavic language too, so it's weird you picked Lithuanian

This one is missing the "non-stick spray cooking" with an image of a flamethrower

English is not a grammatically gendered language. Otherwise, all languages have gender.

Classic internet move

Yeah, there are clueless people everywhere, but I'm still glad that it's easy to get generic medicine.

To be fair, you cannot force people to buy generic, let people make their own, though preferably informed, decisions.

I know it as "ceet", but my language pronounces that part as "tset".

Touché, though I love knowing names like paracetamol or acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, acetylsalicylic acid etc.

I can't come up with many names because I don't remember every single drug, but when I see a drug, I always read the chemical, never the brand, and I'm glad for my country and my parents for that.

ITT: Americans who can't fathom generic medicine names

Tylenol isn't the medicine, paracetamol is. I love having grown up in a European country which mandates pharmacies to very clearly inform you, not just in some fuck ass place, but repeat to you 3 times, that there is a cheaper generic version which does the same thing.

Thanks! I'll come back to this thread once I read more.

Yeah but he drank himself to death by writing Requiem

Disclaimer, I didn't do any research on this, but what would be bad with just AI translating text, given a reliable enough AI? No code required, just plain human speech.

I mean, obviously you won't get 100% of the energy back because most of it is spent on heating you up and moving and also heating you up, but yeah, I feel like God could've really done with some optimization techniques.

I love how you two seem to be arguing or trying to win over each other in some way, whereas you are in fact in agreement, just coming from opposite sides.

...for you.

TL;DR there are good and bad things, positives and drawbacks about all OSes, educate, don't gatekeep.

I have a laptop that runs Windows fine, then installed Linux on it.

1. The trackpad was not well supported and glitched often, as was the fingerprint sensor. I personally am not going to not use fingerprint because some neck beard says it's very insecure and blah blah blah, I don't care. The fingerprint is for me to have any sort of authentication prompt.
2. Often times, the computer would boot up without recognizing the WiFi adapter (classic).
3. The DE that I used, Gnome, was riddled with shitty defaults and random weird behavior, also missing settings from the main settings app in Gnome 43! Not Gnome 1 or 2, 43. Isn't that a bit embarrassing? I've used KDE before, I like that one, though I like the aesthetics and simplicity of Gnome, I wish it just didn't come with retarded defaults.
4. Bluetooth connectivity was hit-or-miss as well, sometimes not getting my device, sometimes not wanting to pair it, etc.
5. The app store on either Fedora, Manjaro, Ubuntu or PopOS! all had some kind of missing, broken, or unintuitive functionality that seemed quite obvious how it could be fixed, just that I couldn't be bothered.
6. Screen sharing with audio doesn't work on Discord, could not find any 1080p60 streaming software that was free or paid or anything. Scoured all of the internet and GitHub, so I'm not switching.

I could go on. Basically there's many shitty things about it. There are also loads of things I adore about Linux, like fast boot times, lower RAM and swap usage, less background apps, better extensibility and customizability, great development experience etc. I love Linux. However, it feels like work to actually get it to work sometimes, which gets in the way of most people's intention to just use the God damn computer for stuff they want to use, and it working.

Let people choose what they want, don't berate people for not choosing what you like, instead educate on what they may be missing out on, but at the end of the day, respect their decision. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

P.S. My laptop wasn't a DXFGFH Fuckbook 3938WGT or whatever with a Bluetooth adapter from Jupiter, it was a recent, but not bleeding-edge, ASUS VivoBook.

Yeah well it'd been difficult for him to be him and to live to a ripe old age, given that he was a severe alcoholic and overall incredibly crazy

Exactly, and also a backwards way to allow """competition""" on their platform, by forcing people to switch to a completely different system just so people can install apps on their phone.

God damn ridiculous.

There's quite a bit of difference between material and immaterial things being produced by robots, and while I cannot say much about the former, I am very disappointed in how the latter is treated. I'm not completely against AI generated content - I use ChatGPT all the time - but I want a distinction between what was made by a human and what was made by a robot.

Imagine this, but with no context

Oh man, AI generated content all over the internet wasn't enough, now they're going to also generate our video games? It really feels like all our entertainment will be soon randomly generated.

At first I was like "how does that have anything to do with what the post is about?"

And then I realized which community we're in

Clever you...
