It’s a start. Keep at it.

It’s pertinent if you only need something for a short time, or if you want to test something before committing to buying it.

Otherwise, there’s few cases where renting makes sense.

I suspect that it’s mostly that they’re the only ones who care.

Besides, Plasma can look like anything else anyway, so why switch?

I could see this as an interesting lab concept. That possibly users could install from some kind of site if they really wanted it. Not as a mainstream function pushed to evry system. Even if it’s inactive by default for now.

I suppose that the solar panels are in a field somewhere. It’s much more efficient.

Can I give them 50 dollars and not have to use windows at all?

There is enough sofware that does not work

What Linux software doesn’t work?

The Lords of Arch will let you know when they deem you worthy.

The problem of the US is that you might lose more voters by dumping Israel than you’d gain by supporting Palestine.

Well, I said it was stable for a Microsoft system.

I understand that it’s strange to people used to windows, but we had computers that just didn’t crash. Ever. Then everything moved to PC with windows and it all went to shit. Now it’s mostly back to unix which while not crashproof is at least reasonably resilient and a proper system.

Twenty years ago, you’d run it every now and then because it was kind of fun. I’m not sure if it counts as actually using it though. There were actual window managers for that.

I’m not sure what the use case is nowadays, I’ll have to install it someday.

How many deer are on that road? It’s mowing down dozens of them in that video!

It seems to me that Windows, which used to be reasonably stable (say, between XP and 10), as Microsoft systems go, has gone into beta status with Windows 11 and is now slipping into a kind of perpetual alpha.

Disclaimer, I haven’t used Windows seriously for decades (now and then for the odd game or for VR) and only boot it every other month to see what it looks like.

I thought some court clerk had fallen asleep writing out zeroes and that’s what they’d ended up with.

Not racist, sure, not insane… they are actors after all.

We don’t have the celebrity thing you have in the US here, so I only see bits and pieces of this, but his (and several others, really) spiralling into insanity has been quite bizarre to witness. First into extreme bizarro religion and then (predictably) into far right politics.

As is often the case, the rejection just entrenches his beliefs.

I wish I knew how people started falling into that kind of mental trap. I’m not sure he was always like that (or maybe he was, I don’t know the guy).

That’s how they show they’re a civilised and progressive government. By not executing children. They have made a lot of progress since the civil war.

make && make install

Done.

Sounds like a regular internet article to me.
