Its true about the updates but its also that Microsoft is now owning your computer.

You are asking them now if its ok to use it to run programs. I dont think people realize how very different it is to run Linux. There is no American corporation running your computer anymore. Thats a huge difference in how the system speaks to you, how it acts, what it lets you do.

I guess most have never experienced that so they dont get it.

The real question is, why do people pick the names they pick. Probably some positive experiences with those names.

The culture in America certainly seems very, very focused on money.

But all a person really needs to be happy is somewhere nice to live, money for food and good friends.

Some people need to get cancer to understand what is important in life.

So mean for no reason.

Me too.

I love watching birds. We have a bird feeder outside kitchen window and see all kinds of birds show up there.

Why is every bird better looking than most humans… They really are.

Just this guy in your picture, stunning.

Like the filters people use on Instagram to make themselves look perfect. All of this is pretty sick but nobody seems to be thinking its a problem.

Aragorn writes that Philip Müller (the project lead) has been running Manjaro as his own personal venture rather than a community effort, keeping a tight hold on access to both the codebase and the infrastructure.

These weasels never care about the actual thing that is being built, its just a way to make money for them.

Hope they kick that Philip guy out and get back to making this a passion project.

The core members with passion for the actual thing should restart under a new name.

“As ive explained, this is what consumers want. And I want Nvidia stock to go well.”

Actually yeah, I didnt think of that but commodore 64 was my first computer. Its actually incredible the things it could do without any cooling or fan, and tiny graphics chip…

When I was young, older people thought the monitor was the computer and had no idea there was a chassi under the desk connected to it. :)

Yeah the agreement for me was always that i wont need any support from the company for my Linux, and I never did.

If you know Linux, it will just work. I had to use the web version of office and teams sometimes, but that worked ok during meetings.

Enterprise IT is fun isnt it.

Being young today must be fun. Just missed out on all the good stuff in the 80, 90s and 2000s to experience this mess we have now.

I will not use those services. I think im willing to give up any service except email. And if Im forced, I guess I will identify for email since its critical to have. But its all ridiculous and part of building dystopia.

Or, windows 11 doesnt support my system. Not my problem.

Its actually interesting how they phrased it so that our systems are the problem and not their product.

Probably yeah. Ive done the same and said no to jobs where I couldnt use Linux. I didnt even want mac at that time, because 70% of the fun of the job was using Linux and native tools there.

Its not really strange. We are using our computers to do our job and we think its fun, so being forced to use a different platform ruins a lot of the fun.

I like how they call everything conspiracy theories these days. Yeah, nothing to see here, just wanna protect children… :)

Comes back again and again.

First thing i thought of, but yeah, most devs today have never held a disk like that.

Why do i always gets so extreamly nostalgic every time something from the 80s and 90s are posted… I guess everyone is like that, stuff from their childhood remains loved.

I think also because it was a fresh field, nobody knew IT so it was exciting. It was like a small interest, similar to collecting stamps or something.
