It’s generally considered a fact that Linux, along with many other open-source software projects, are more efficient than their propriety closed-source counterparts

This is not necessarily true. Linux had trouble with Nvidia Optimus, which is a GPU technology that seamlessly switches between power modes. Well, that is if it works properly, which it didn’t for Linux. I haven’t heard it in a while, so I assume it’s not a problem now anymore.

But it was a big problem where Linux laptops drained batteries much faster because they were using the GPUs at max capacity at all times.

What I’m saying is that the efficiency of Linux depends on access to hardware features, and that might depend on the vendors of the drivers.

Also, like it or not, if there’s one thing I envy about Mac is its power efficiency. They usually last really long on one charge.

No, that’s just bloat feelings

He’s also probably doing “altruistic acts” to defend himself against criticism.

Hate is a strong word.

I have a dislike for them. Especially in recent years. There was a time I thought they were the cool hip company with lots of cool innovations. When Google docs launched it was so revolutionary that two people could work with the same document at the same time.

Now I see them more for what they are: an advertisement provider. They’re only after our data. Once I realized that my dislike for them grew.

But my dislike for them hasn’t been enough to stop using their products. I’ve tried DDG a few times, but I’ve always been dissatisfied with their results.

It’s Poe’s law

I post my ignorant opinions somewhere. There’s always someone who will correct me with correct information.

Microsoft has nothing to do with this. This is entirely on Crowdstrike.

It’s incredible how an issue of this magnitude didn’t get discovered before they shipped it. It’s not exactly an issue that happens in some niche cases. It’s happening on all Windows computers!

This can only happen if they didn’t test their product at all before releasing to production. Or worse: maybe they did test, got the error, and they just “eh, it’s probably just something wrong with test systems”, and then shipped anyway.

This is just stupid.

That doesn’t solve anything. Linux is also subject to cyberattacks.

What’s your solution to cyberattacks?

Not really. This isn’t a Windows problem. This is a faulty software problem. People can write faulty software on Linux too.

I guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch “adult video”.

I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.

I don’t have an answer to your question, but suicide isn’t that simple.

Bad things can happen to people, and they would never consider suicide. Good things can happen to people, but they still commit suicide.

I don’t think people always know exactly why they’re suicidal. They might believe it’s because they didn’t get into the dream university or failing exams. It might be a triggering factor, but not the full story.

I don’t believe there’s a checklist of things to do and not to do. Why a person might end up in suicide is entirely personal.

Technically not debut, but Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was well timed.

It was shortly after the run of the 90s TV cartoon. VFX had just reached a point where convincing web slinging could be made. A few years earlier it would’ve looked awful.

I would also say that along with X-Men it started a new era of super hero movies where they could be taken seriously. Compare it to the Batman movies in the 90s, which are goofy in comparison.

Fortunately for you, most universities in the world offer a similar computer science curriculum as the ones in US.

Not sure about English department though.

GPL can prevent the linking of external and non-free third party libraries. It can add an increased legal complexity to the code base. It’s difficult for MIT licenses to have that “clashing” between licenses.

There are variations to GPL that allow the linking of non-free third party libraries. Either way, consult your lawyer before using GPL code.

I’m bad at being a good person, so that would make me a bad person?

People who are capable of installing Linux are probably already aware of it. Most people when they buy a laptop is to have something that just works out of the box. Just open the laptop lid and it’s welcoming you with the setup process. Telling them how to install a live USB is already too much information.

Not many are officially supported, but there are a few. Baldur’s Gate 3 is one surprising example. Many Paradox games are also supported, like Cities Skylines. Stardew Valley, Terraria and Hades as well.

I’m pleasantly surprised Linux is way ahead of OSX. This looks really good!
