Colony collapse was due to fungicides being sprayed in the day. -Bees don’t need extra pollen (they have plenty of food to spare which is why we have honey as a product), and they don’t need people’s lawns (pick the leaves up before winter).
Leaving leaves is just being an asshole neighbor making safe paths for vermin to get into houses, and reduce the value of neighboring properties.
Wouldn’t an android phone be a better choice? Wouldn’t an older air-gapped Windows version be a better choice? Wouldn’t using a Library computer be a better choice? Wouldn’t a type-writer be a better choice? Wouldn’t going out and making some money for something better be a better choice?
The ‘sink twice’ performs 3 functions in one which is contrary to Unix philosophy (that would have a urinal, toilet, and sink separate) making Unix philosophy look stupid / bloated.
ItS nOt LiNuX fAuLt! - Yeah, the rest of the world is just moving to fast for them.
Soap is for people clinging to old tech. We use detergents that rinse clean and don’t strip seasoning from pans in the modern world. This is also not ‘adding to’, it’s reducing.
Look for ‘sink twice’
Linux can and has destroyed hardware
-It also almost had me toss a perfectly good 4TB external drive, and a Bluetooth. (Luckily I checked them on Windows).
“Matthew says with about 20 lines of code on Windows, you can cause the same havoc. He points out that mounting EFI variables as read-only could break some user-space applications and isn’t the solution to the problem.”
When you tack on what it needs to be a desktop OS, you’re tacking on vulnerabilities. Take a point release distro like Debian, and you end up with more out of date packages which adds to vulnerabilities. Also, a web search will reveal decades old issues with Linux used as a server. -It’s not bulletproof, we just don’t hear about it like we don’t hear about Linux much IRL, and it’s something evangelists like to suppress.
I happened across a mention of a BIOS option that no one else - not the official documentation nor the 99.9% of other forum posters I read - bothered to mention: I needed to switch my hard drive setting from IDE to AHCI.
I used search on the guide here for “AHCI”:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview
-Not found on those pages.
On reddit, it will eventually break the user experience. (page loading times / errors). Does this site handle the database differently?
I bet Jim Jones said something similar once. It’s not like the ‘hobby’ doesn’t have a belief system using faith attached.
No need to respond, I can remove ‘What?’ responses in the future. Seems like something a bot would do, should I ban them?
So you’re correcting every lie (of which there are many) in Linux communities then, or is this personal?
Apparently I misunderstood what I was reading and hearing. So, it’s Linux users that are cheating so much that they’re getting Linux players banned rather than it being Linux enabling them that’s the problem.
Windows keeps nagging people to upgrade to 11
Which will protect them from root kits, boot kits, and keyloggers. It’s ran by a corporation that has a reputation to uphold and we’ve seen in the past where people complain about Windows yet weren’t being responsible with updates. -Nagging justified.
how they keep breaking their own product
Inherent with features. In contrast, Linux users harassed FOSS developers into quitting projects (Ueberzug for example) which broke several daily softwares for me. Updating to Pipewire because ‘it’s ready’ broke ac3 passthrough. Wayland because ‘its ready’ broke drag and drop between windows and doesn’t work with a DWM that took time and effort to configure. Then, there’s the breaking problems faced by running rolling release or cutting edge (which still runs behind Windows on tech) - This topic could be it’s own thread.
how they haven’t fixed 20 year old bugs
Linux has had decade old bugs in recent news.
how they tack on stuff like AI that nobody asked for
Features that are in expensive Photoshop are now free and yet not available in GIMP. - I certainly am happy about that. I’m also interested in the Notepad re-write feature. Things I didn’t ask for were a dozen desktop environments (especially Cinnamon), multiple display managers, multiple file browsers (that are practically the same), etc.
“I use Linux” is an assertion that you haven’t ceded most of the control of your computer to Microsoft or Apple, and that you are willing to trade a little bit of convenience for software freedom.
Which matters to? - Game cheaters with kernel level anti-cheat.
Anyway, this isn’t “Windows Sucks” or a debate forum. We get enough of that elsewhere.
“Use this command”, without explaining what’s going on
rm (-for remove) -fr (French language) /s
If it’s not your cup of tea, you can mute it.
It’s no joke. Linus users trash talk Windows and call it spyware. Meanwhile Firefox (most common default web browser for Linux) has a lot of telemetry, Google as default search engine, and Google as it’s financier. (In addition to Android being Linux according to some).
I’m not against telemetry, just the hypocricy.
A testament to how hardy fish are. If you have fish dying in an aquarium; you shouldn’t have pets.
