Lemmy advice for someone struggling who really needs therapy for a harsh problem can definitely be worse than nothing

You need professional therapy, not “advice” from Lemmy

We need to check what calendar is fElon on… He keeps saying “next year” for shit that doesn’t happen… Maybe he is from the future!

Lol

1. MS has a horrible track record on privacy or even caring about their customers; Apple, deservedly or not, has higher level of consumer’s trust

2. MS brought out features too obviously ripe for abuse built in the most insecure way, lied about it and was quickly proven a liar. Apple says they built their AI in a secure way, their fans believe them and have not challenged

3. Undoubtedly, there is still a huge Apple fanbase that would tell you Apple’s turds smell nice. So there’s a portion of that in the mix as well

So translating Musk to reality, they probably have 2 robotic arms working of a pre programmed algorithm that make them go back and forward

So you just like the new lazy writing. Got it.

No idea where you are drawing this from

Because I know you didn’t just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like ‘these are the same!’

Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. To make it extra clear, having a common trait (what I actually said) does not mean “these are the same”

And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don’t like your favorite version of Batman.

I’m not mad at all… Disagreeing with you does not make me your enemy… You care confusing me with yourself lol

Yeah no. I think you’re confused because Batman Begins came out in 2005 which was decades ago.

I’m talking about Batman the character, you know? The one first published in 1939. There have been multiple versions but “dark and broody” has been a pretty common trait

If you forgot he’s actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time

No, it’s been well established he cannot get past the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him. Actually, it has been well established he is now Batman and Bruce is the disguise… So no, he doesn’t really know how to have a good time

Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.

Not really Nolan’s fault and not what you claimed first either. Batfleck for example was not dark and broody, he was just a fumbling idiot who claimed his superpower was money

Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan’s Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark

Again moving the goal post … What does BTAS have to do with your comment that Nolan made Batman dark and broody??

Batman has been dark and broody decades before the Nolan trilogy.

There have been lighter versions but dark and broody are basically core qualities of the character

BTW, told my kids about your comment on my abuse of the “…” and they choked laughing for like half an hour. So there is that hehehehe

I’m going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you’re using a lot of "…"s,

No ill will intended. You must be young and I’m old, my kids constantly complain about my abuse of the “…” They say I always sound ominous

The only part my intention was to sound like “well, yes that’s obvious” was the part where you missed some windows specific GPU functions

For the rest I was meaning to say that I recognize those problems but didnt find them insurmountable at the time I had to face them.

I still have to deal with windows today because of work and I find the amount of orphan issues (or issues with no solution 3 years after reporting) saddening because I rarely see that in the Linux community

True, I may be “over the hump” in terms of the initial learning curve but I encourage you to keep at it, you’ll find it enjoyable in no time

It’s mandated? How come? Sorry I’m out of the loop

I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally

We used this for work and I had a bit of a hard time setting up 4 years ago when covid hit… I eventually was able to but later on moved on to a different set up.

We still use it on Windows when I go to the office (once a week) and it still shit there

If you post specifics I may be able to help you.

Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

well yes… Windows specific stuff is not usually available in Linux… unless we are talking about gaming which is catching up really quick

The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

Yes, it’s a different OS… not sure if you were expecting any differently but this is the power of the walled gardens… you learn to live in them and then find it hard to do anything differently… IMO the transition was worth it for me… I hope it is for you

The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.

This is what I disagree with… that has not been my experience AT ALL. The worst I can say about online support for Linux is that, some communities, are a little caustic (looking at you Arch support, although you do have great online help posted).

If anything, when I can’t seem to find anything regarding something I am looking for, I have defaulted to realizing I may not be asking the right question… RARELY discussions for Linux support happen behind closed doors… it’s just not even in the spirit of the Linux communities. Again, if you’d like to post specifics maybe we can help

You may have misunderstood my point… All I’m saying it’s stupid to compare species based on the attributes of one.

Most pet dogs don’t do work either… Show me a herder chihuahua or a fox hunting mastif

But again this is a dumb comparison… Why doesn’t your dog repeat words like my parrot? It it dumb? Is it inferior? Or perhaps it’s just another species?

Cats are naturally very effective as mousers, humans used them centuries in ships and they were so valuable because they preserved food stock and prevented disease… Show me a dog doing that specific job it was not bread for… No? There you go, dogs are inferior

Exactly right!.. It’s like saying dogs are dumb because they don’t learn words like a parrot would

In my experience the VAST majority of people that say things are hard on Linux have never actually tried it …

Same with people that complain cats are not LoYAl lIkE DOgS… They have never had cats

DO NOT actively try to help anyone who is not sincerely asking for help

A small amount of selfishness is necessary for a healthy life

We all love icecream but who’d love turd icecream?

Because I don’t get who’d want to use an MS Linux distro

Spending too much time on lemmy

Absolutely and has been the case for years…

Have no fear, the Penguin is friendly
