What the hell are you talking about? I’m pretty sure the millions of people the Romans enslaved did not volunteer for a better life but were in fact brutalized through violence and abducted from their homes.

He bought himself luxury sports cars using company money under the guise of “company car”.
Hiding your assets behind a corporate veil is a relatively common form of fraud and tax evasion for rich people.
Moore’s Law is about transistors, not resistors. Tell me you know nothing about hardware without saying you know nothing about hardware.
Good, they absolutely should be.
Good lord I would hope critical surgical computers like that aren’t networked externally… Somehow I’m guessing I’m wrong.
Sure. I could accept hearing “Windows is more polished than most Linux distro’s”. But to say blankly that Windows is polished is crazy talk. It’s jank as balls. Its got like 3 totally discrete and independent UI frameworks for the menus operating in parallel, and somehow none of them provide all the functionality you would need, have to mix and match them.
That’s just a single example. I could rant for hours.
I agree with your point, but I never would have thought of describing Windows as “polished”.
That being said, just yesterday I looked at the man page for gcc because I wasn’t sure how to use a specific option and it was very useful. Gave me exactly the info I needed.
Maybe there is some merit to simply reading the documentation instead of asking to be spoon fed… I’m prepared to be downvoted to oblivion for this opinion.
Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell
Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? Average user age on lemmy is more than old enough for the majority of users to have been using linux pre 9-11.
am a long term open source dev and contributor…
That is a flex, kudos. I’ve been dreaming about contributing to an open source project for a while now.
What are you trying to say with this? You think running automatic, unattended updates with a cronjob is a good idea?
Right… That’s OP’s criticism. Not enough OEMs offer blank systems.
Not as viable a strategy for laptops…

To imply he’s part of the 1% is absurd. He’s a small Canadian business owner. He’s well off sure, but he’s not fucking muskrat with hundreds of billions in net worth.
Straight to jail.
The windows store never really took off unfortunately. It’s mostly filled with random jank in my experience.
By Akamai, ya. I was devastated when I heard.
Won what, exactly? There are lots of different use cases. Linux, Windows and MacOS all have their place and their own little niches carved out.
Grandma uses Windows. Okay, that’s cool. All my PC’s and laptops run Linux (usually Debian). We can both be happy…
It’s honestly hard to tell in the current Christo-fascist political climate.
