Nah I think it's just that windows 7 and 8 was and still is quite literally one of those ones where it hit the sweet spot between good UI and UX and actually having huge range and compatibility straight off the bat. Plus everything was pretty smooth back then, but hell, nobody ever says how many viruses and dumb apps were floating around for Windows 7x32 and x64

If it turns out that they create a working two state solution I do hope that one day they merge rather than further balkanise , but who knows, the future is a myth for the strangers and the dreamers

Literally selective sympathies huh. I just don't get why they can't make things better with people instead of burning literal food to try win.

Glad to see your still here lol

I disagree with your notion that a person is not or cannot love an abstract entity however I do not care enough to explain or elaborate in this comment, feel free to enquire if you're curious

Nah although I agree that Linux is a huge sleeping giant, Microsoft systems in general still have a huge hold over quite a lot of things, and also does a good job of providing business as whole to a variety of sub groups, everyone that runs engineering software, antivirus software, hell, SQL databases, even the dating apps, and the creators of spywares, all these things work with Microsoft et al for money, if they had to switch over to using Linux, they would find the same ways they do today to make money, you would see huge increases in use of one common desktop and window manager package, spyware, hacking tools, targeting Qt, supply chain hacking and diversion, gitlab DDOSing, etc.

The reality is that all of these things are things that Microsoft and partners has already had to consider and deal with, so if Ubuntu or Arch were to step into the mainstream marketplace even with OEM support, they would have to face the same scrutiny and problems which someone would eventually expect to have to get paid for to resolve it help out with.

If anything we need more laws around the tech space as a whole

Go home Shepard your drunk

Nobody voted for a genocide. I certainly doubt that anyone in the USA let alone Biden would endorse genocide.

What makes you think Biden is responsible for Israel's actions? If my brother or my neighbour does something to harm someone and the results of this harm come to my awareness, explain without emotion, using logic, how and why should I be held responsible for the results of his actions, and where do we draw the line?

If I don't know why something has happened and I go out and ask why, and people blame me simply for simply asking the very question, who is responsible?

Clearly, the person who looks to blame the person asking the question must have a dogma, they must have a reason, it's very reasonable to believe they must have a stake in the question not being asked which obviously means that they could know who is responsible.

I feel like most people including producers don't care so much, they care more about promoting more people to get into the whole creatives sector so to speak so that there's less concentrated loss of capital and risk for everyone involved including the pirates and "copyright enforcers"

You never know, China could start developing mining infrastructure of their own too.
