Apple likes to control the entire ecosystem, and wanted to make their own processors to make them more efficient and produce less heat. They succeeded too, the M2 and M3 chips are incredible.

So I think they would have ditched anyone, but Intel probably also made it easier by being so bad. :)

A lot of us use Linux for gaming now. Supports almost all games. But for God's sake, pick a amd graphics card if you plan to do Linux gaming. Nvidia is buggy as hell.

It's ideal for you since you don't want to discuss it, yes.

Sounds like they are becoming worried over the growth of these networks and wants to convince the large public that they should stay away.

It's pretty much standard tactics to paint a false picture of something, and they get away with it too. I bet people will now say "mastadon, isn't that where there is child porn? No thanks".

The thing is, literally all big tech companies also have zero respect for their userbase but people keep using Google, Meta, Insta and all those things.

I think us geeks have started to move away from it more and more, but the majority couldn't care less.

Will be fun to try this when it comes. Maybe at the same time as the new Cosmos desktop from system76...

I try to always rewrite complicated code. As an example, another dev who left the team had written a program in Elixir that nobody knew or understood. I rewrote it in python (with his help, since I still had contact with him over chat). After that, everyone in the team could understand the code and we could make changes very easily to it and document it.

Another program he wrote in python was kind of complicated and we would have bugs in it that we didn't know how to fix. So I rewrote it with a completely different architecture with focus on simplicity. And again, now everyone could just read the code and understand it.

I think many devs are writing code that is not simple to understand for others. Then rewriting it can be worth it to avoid the pain of trying to fix bugs in complicated code.

The PR team got the task to improve his reputation, and they paid newspapers and online sites to write positive things about him.

Nothing new under the sun.

Even a pic where he doesn't look like a lizard. Well done.

It happened when all the non-techy people joined social media.

You really need to be nicer to people here or you will probably get banned by someone sooner or later. People are trying to get away from the reddit atmosphere here. Don't act all superior because you spotted a mistake. That's really childish.

This is called a lie, folks.
