Like... I tell people that if they want the "It just works" experience, they should install Linux mint and move on with their life.

Now you no longer need to check the news if windows have snuck another thing that spies on you into your PC and you now need to manually turn it off. ( If Linux distro did that it would not have any users 12 months later... so they don't) .

There is no longer ads you risk clicking on by default embedded into your OS and programs. You cannot click on anything bad that can fuck up your machine ( User space protects ) because... it is YOUR computer. It is insane that this level of "don't have to worry. You are safe" is a feature on Linux... that should be a basic thing for every OS...

There is no obfuscation. Anything you want to see, change or control, you can. Everything is made to show you, the user, as clearly as possible what is going on. And if you don't like something, you can change it. 100% of the time. You do not have to hope that a UX designer remembered to give you settings and Daddy Microsoft allows you to do it.

When something is hard to see,understand or change in Linux, it is because it is a complex difficult thing. It is NEVER because a dude gets a salary for optimizing obfuscating how things work.

And it is not MAGIC. People who design and manage linux distroes are not a special race of humans with better ehtics and design skills than the lesser folk of windows and mac

You know what it is? Healthy competition. That thing so many people are in favor for in theory but not in practice.

It is because open source means the distros that get popular is THE ONES THAT THE USERS LIKE THE MOST.

And not just the Linux distro. Every tool. Every functionality. Every program and library. If the users want to use a competitor, they just can.

Like... my sibling in christ... stop begging Microsoft to fix visual studio so everything does not break if a file or folder have a space in it.

It have been 28 years. It is never happening.

Get ovet to Linux. Stop begging for features in Windows. In linux you DEMAND them. In linux you get them.

Because in Linux we BUILD them.

"I like windows. It just works."

No Jim.

No the fuck it doesn't.

I am joining my companies group of developers given access to and finding uses for LLMs.

Purely so I can critique and stop any and all use of this problem

got a major pest problem this year actually

In the US system, and many others, there is no real option to not vote.

I do think there should be. 25% voted A, 30% votes B. Meaning they get 55% of the seats in the parlement

Something needs 70% of the votes? They cannot do it. It needs 51% and A and B obly have 40% of the seats? Well they cannot do it.

But that is not an option. They votes are counted pretending everyone voted.

So if you do not vote, your vote is counted anyway. Just split up.

So you can place your vote 100% on one team, or 100% on another, or not vote, and then your vote will be split into however the split in votes are.

They get 100% of the power, even if only 10% of people vote. Each of those votes are effectively just counted as 10 times as many

If Trump got 100% of the votes, and you did not vote. Your vote is counted as having been for Trump.

There SHOULD be an option for not voting. But there is not. So you can either vote. Or it will be done for you.

Which again, sucks.

Any time she’s asked about Palestine Israel Kamala just keeps repeating the same line I’m going insane . Fucking stop arming Israel

Please.

Please please please

Please stay on your diskworld shit

I am much enjoying it!

This might be a very controversial take but Sybil being fat with no hair and Adora being weird about golems and Granny being old and a virgin and Magrat being ugly and Agnes being fat and Nanny being Nanny and Cheery existing actually does more for feminism than 90% of intentionally "feminist" media produced in the past 5-10 years actually

... FUCK!
