If you’re complaining about windows on linuxmemes, I’m not sure it’s rational to expect no one to mention linux.

Still have to deal with windows at work, so I end up somewhere between those two on both.

So, out of curiosity, how would you pronounce CHiPs?

Choosy moms choose gif.

Shutdown isn’t shutdown anymore, so it has to reboot for the updates. After the reboot, though, there’s no longer a shutdown pending.

Please, at least 85% of that network equipment hasn’t been updated in 30 years and they’re not about to start now.

Not a bad time to pick up subsistence farming if you have some land.

Actual reality:

ctrl-c ctrl-v

We don’t really need to bring bak antikwated letters like the thorn. If anything, we kould do to get rid of a few more letters.

This is true for any OS. If it’s not working you can’t use it to look up how to fix it. That’s not unique to Linux.

Yeah, proprietary software are the worst offenders.

That was in reference to what you were responding to.

Unfortunately, so many error messages are so utterly useless that it has taught many people that all errors are just pointless background noise even if they’re actually giving useful info.

Sure, but ‘make your own doughnuts’ isn’t exactly a useful response to that.

The problem is the concentration of power. We need enough different groups in power that they’re too busy undermining each other to consolidate.

Yeah, that was always a bad argument. The truth is it will always fail in the transitional step where the state owns everything. People in power do not want to give up that power, so it inevitably leads to dictatorship followed by eventual collapse.

In the case of Pearson, malice is a safe assumption.

Windows also has to worry about getting sued by another multinational conglomerate when some idiot loses the only copy if a super critical file because they were too lazy to save and forced their laptop to shutdown so they could pickup lunch.

Just be sure you’ve got those backed up. CDR bitrot is real and it can hurt you.

Windows is just more familiar. It definitely has problems just like this all the time. There’s a reason most companies have to have a test environment to try out every update to make sure it doesn’t break everything.
