This is the best thing ive seen this week!

Apple asks users to install GNU+Linux in this Vision Pro ad:

Ubuntu: For shilling all kinds of profrietary garbage by default. If I wanted that I’d be on Windows.

Also the changes they make to GNOME make it worse, they take away what makes it good, the flow.

OpenSUSE, awfull default software selection on desktop, and pushing users hard to use an “everything configuration tool”.

because you have a thing against solutions that are both beter and easier

They only (probably) show us that we are seeing the begining of the file. Also relative line numbing is a thing in vim for example.

someone should make lisp but with html syntax

superpowers are s-tier by definition, if one were b-tier it would have to just be a power

I made this simulation to show how effective attraction to a bug light can be an emergent property of a mosquito’s navigation and confinement, even though they are not attracted to light innately.

See my mastodon post.

Thanks for sending me in this direction, its been fun!

At least here in the free world we have to manually build echo chambers and “The Algorithm” does not build them around us without our consent.

a lot of it could be the no-face aspect, we where that a lot

I disagree about SO, though I am not a fan of it for other reasons. Interesting thought about acting on convictions. Thanks.

I’m not upset of complaining, I’m observing and philosophizing, this has been an intellectual pursuit, thanks for the reply

no

Aren’t these metrics fake anyway, Linux user dont usually want software to track them, who’s counting everyone and with what as a data source. There is no fair collection point, the best data collection point in my mind would be UA stings on ad networks, but then the metric is users who dont use an add blocker, or users who use facebook. These factors atleast, are certainly not independent of a users choice of operating system. I believe that gnu+linux users are likely to be very underrepresented.

Maybe it depends on the kind, because when we let mosquitos in and use the bug zapper, we dont get bit. It would have to be quite the luck if it was not attracting them one way or another. It certainly works on almost everything that flies and harasses you at night. It sounds like a controlled experiment is in order.

Get a bug zapper with a UV bulb, even if its branded for outdoor use it’ll work fine inside.

i dont think its age, people of all ages have no mental model at all about how computers work, they just “never thought about it”. I’d be interested in the result of a survey conducted in person on paper wherever the old and the young can be found together.

thats because we are 😎

I dont get the joke 👍
