Didn’t they literally just lose a court case about this very thing?

It’s for work only, no gaming. I have a Steam Deck and a Linux desktop for gaming.

My hardware refresh came up this year. I asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

This has the stench of junior engineer all over it. This rewrite will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.

Oh good, FREE SLOP FOR ALL!

FWIW Brave search lets you disable AI summaries

Lots of good lines in that show.

Xathras have hard life. Probably have hard death. But at least that way, there’s symmetry.

Once the avalanche has started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote.

Wow, that comic really fails to entertain in any way!

Yeah, for me it’s partly aesthetic preference but also I’m not inserting myself into the game. I’m controlling the character, not pretending I am the character.

Play a female character in an arcade game. Specifically the one in Golden Axe.

Plus a properly made one is fucking delicious

Ah man I really liked the OVAs. Wish there were more. Didn’t care for the characterization in the TV series.

Yeah, agree. I don’t see many LLM results but I can’t say I never see any.

It’s almost like these fucks don’t understand anything about the technology they’re touting

As I said, mileage may vary 😄

Mileage may vary; I read the first one and found it to be an absolute slog and a snooze. No interest in reading on.

This is an informative answer, thank you

But wouldn’t he have to repay such loans?

I’ve been using Windows personally and professionally since 3.1, and Windows 11 was the last straw that finally got me to jump over to Linux for my home PC. I hate what Windows has become but I’ve got a lot of history with it. My experience with Linux (Mint FWIW) has been as smooth as it ever was in Windows, neither of which was perfect. I’m a definite convert from Windows and would encourage most people to consider taking the leap themselves.

I gotta disagree with you about modern Powershell and terminals in Windows, though. Good terminal? Windows Terminal has been around for years now. It’s fast and functional. Whether Powershell’s parameters are “sane” is probably a matter of taste, but I’m definitely willing to stick up for its usability. Yes, the parameter names are much more verbose, but they all get tab completion out of the box, and you don’t have to type the full names at all, just enough of the start of the name to be unambiguous. For personal automation scripts, I think Powershell is way ahead of Bash. Parameters get bound automatically without needing to write for/case loops with getopts. You can write comments at the top of the file that automatically get integrated into Powershell’s help system. Sending objects through the standard pipeline means you spend a lot less time and code just parsing text.

Wait, this is for a Raspberry Pi? I thought we were talking about Linux as a desktop OS. You wouldn’t run Windows on a Raspberry Pi, so while I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your Pi’s fans, I don’t see how that’s relevant to the merits of Linux as a desktop OS.
