This is how (at least elder) millennials learned everything they know about technology. It’s the only way imo

Do it

I use it, I just tip way more than anyone else in my area tips. Mostly out of guilt, partially out of solidarity for the working person. I like to think my order at bumps that avg hourly rate up at bit.

Yeah my Linux laptop contains infinite desktops.

I would say the Steam Deck has been the major impetus for Linux adoption for a couple of years now. I know it sealed the deal for me, when I went into desktop mode and learned that KDE is basically Windows but better lol.

But Linux, particularly Linux gaming, owes so much to Valve/Proton for the direction we’re going.

Welcome! I’ve been using it for a year and a half now, and the thought of going back to Windows makes me sick to my stomach. This is what it feels like personal computers were always supposed to be, before Microsoft came in and shat their capitalism all over everything.

Don’t give up if you run into a snag, there’s tons of documentation online and people willing to help you out. I also think learning how it works is half the fun, but I’m a weird motherfucker.

Oh, I am well aware of C++. But I assure you that they were not referencing that when selling this goofy shit to consumers in the early 90s. I think it’s just a really bad logo.

Lol… Why don’t you look up what % of scientific breakthroughs in the US are government funded.

Oops.

It’s really fucking ignorant to competely disregard a peer reviewed, scientific study, simply because the URL in which it’s posted on, contains “gov”. Grow up.

Unrelated, but anyone remember “VCR+”? Man I’m old…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_recorder_scheduling_code

Edit: I guess it was actually “VCR Plus+” which is dumb af (it’s not a C++ reference. I assure you that the marketing people at the time had no idea what that was. I’m 99% it was just a bad logo that has “plus” and a ‘+’).

Only semi-related, but interesting study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3805041/

For me, it was Ezekiel 23:20. But then again, that one is always on my mind 😏

Damn, almost gotta respect the grift… Almost.

I’ve been running it on my laptop for months and it’s been a fantastic experience

Yeah, like the others said, it’s bullshit MBA speak meant entirely for PR.

That’s it, thats what will help humanity achieve its true potential, by openai making $100b in profits.

Yay capitalism! We did it!

new?

Just get rid of Windows completely so the crutch isn’t there. Use a Windows VM if you absolutely need to.

KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it’s been since you’ve used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

Seems like you might be the one who needs to get out of the house…

The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel’s will in this matter

How long? Wouldn’t this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn’t exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he’s been dead for a very long time…

The prize is named after the dude, he doesn’t get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.
