Someone needs to be reminded that anticompetitive practices are illegal in c/[email protected]

Oh, I drive Linux only. I have Windows 10 running Atlas playbook on standby but hasn't been booted in months.

I think the entry barrier for installation/setup is what will be what stops Linux fully taking over. If OEMs start loading a very user friendly Linux on their "normal" desktops/laptops (Best Buy, Amazon, etc.), then I can see Linux being the majority.

With all that said, I want Linux to be the majority and running on everyone's computer. I'm just being a realist at this point in time.

Less that they don't want other companies using it and more so they don't want other other companies translating it into something they can use.

Basically, translating an instruction manual from German to Spanish.

No one is breaking any copyright laws or IP to do this. It's the same how Steam created Proton to run Windows games on Linux. It's translating code from one language to another that's readable.

If Linux becomes the dominant gaming platform for gaming (not gonna happen, wish it would tho), there is no reason for a "Proton for Windows" could/should emerge.

What service are you moving to? I'm curious of other alternatives.

It's definitely the blue vs green bubbles. Your average user doesn't even know iMessage is E2EE. They also don't care.

Google photos is just cloud back up like iCloud backup for iOS devices.

Google photos is also on iOS devices, so you could have your photos on any of your devices.

Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice in c/[email protected]

Bro... That TV is over 7 years old, meant for health centers, and probably weighs 2 - 3 times the TV in OOP.

While yes, it is annoying, nothing modern has a center stand. https://www.google.com/search?q=tv%20with%20center%20stand

It's definitely a cost cutting feature and you definitely can't expect a $200 TV to have a weighted center stand these days.

Looking at you, Google and Unity. in c/[email protected]

They've released a couple of his pre-recorded videos but turned off the comments. They know they fucked up. 🤣

It sounds like "drei" which means 3 in German. "Zwei" is 2 in German.

Fair enough. Text is hard to read sometimes. Cheers!
