@RustyCrab that's what I said. Windows works for enthusiasts and people who just use computers to browse the internet. Most people don't even own a computer or a laptop. Everything is done through their phone, their TV has all their media slop on it. Average person really doesn't need a computer
@RustyCrab the problem with Linux is that Windows works just fine and nobody actually needs troonix for normal computer usage or even enthusiast level like gaming
@RustyCrab@creamqueen i dont want that stupid fucking ai bullshit algorithm fuckery chewing up half of my ram and cpu while i play modern goyslop i dont want buttons where they shouldnt be my mom said her work finally switched over to windows 11 now and copy/paste isnt in the right click menu anymore and the start button is in the middle instead of the left why do they move shit around for no reason why do they have to fuck with everything STOP FUCKING WITH MY STUFF EVERYTHING WAS IN THE EXACT SAME FUCKING PLACE SINCE 1995 MICROSOFT YOU HAVE A 30 YEAR LEGACY FRAMEWORK AND THEN FOR NO FUCKING REASON YOU CHANGE EVERYTHING AROUND AND PUT SHIT IN NOBODY ASKED FOR AND NOBODY CAN FIND ANYTHING AND BROWSERS NEED 7 GIGS OF RAM AND ITS JUST LIKE COSTCO EVERY TIME I GO THERE THE ENTIRE STORE LAYOUT IS DIFFERENT AND THERES UGLY BROWN PAJEETS THERE JUST LIKE IN MICHAELSOFT I BET THATS WHY ITS ALL FUCKING RETARDED NOW AND WHY THE START BUTTON ISNT ON THE BOTTOM LEFT ANYMORE LIKE HOW YOUTUBE HAS BEEN PUTTING THE FUCKING CURSOR IN FRONT OR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMEONE'S @ EVER SINCE THE NEW POOJEET CEO TOOK OVER ISNT THAT A FUCKING COINCIDENCE HUH QUIT MAKING ALL MY STUFF UGLY AND RETARDED AND BLOATED I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAME AND WATCH VIDEO
@Nudhul@Hoss@RustyCrab@creamqueen installed windows 3 in a vm a while back and the icons are clear and crisp and understandable. the window bars and borders have anchors on them and are easy to grab the edges and move things around. windows 3 is hardly the best user interface but god damn graphic designers fucked everything up
>copy/paste isnt in the right click menu anymore Beat Windows developers to death with a brick in the parking lot outside of Microsoft headquarters. In real life.
@sun@Nudhul@Hoss@RustyCrab@creamqueen if you minimize the Asteroids game that came with it, you can continue to play the game in the minimized 'icon' which continues to render your ship, bullets, asteroids, in the pixels provided.
What does Windows have now? Ads? AIs spying on you?
@apropos@creamqueen@Hoss@Nudhul@sun I just think it should be illegal to force ads on users who paid for the product. If you are voluntarily watching a review on your own volition that's far different.
@RustyCrab@creamqueen@apropos@Hoss@sun theres literally no point in paying money for something if you still get ads. that was the entire point of purchasing it and now they've removed the incentive to give tjem anything
@RustyCrab@creamqueen@apropos@Hoss@sun i had to spend an hour trimming all the BS out of my new phone a few months ago this shit is everywhere. even my uncle who doesnt use computers for much of anything complains about it
Distributed networks, at least in the 90s, were meant to deal with infrastructure problems. Rob Pikes various writing on Plan9 reflect this. They needed quick access to data over slow networks, while pushing most of the processing onto remote machines and in order to cut costs and particularly of purchasing and maintaining, in bell labs case, 30,000 individual machines. The WORM was just a security measure to enhance data integrity because it could only be written once.
The cloud OS that ((( they ))) want serves none of these purposes. It's about control and data collection.
I understand the appeal to have an always on virtual machine farm and endless thin clients like they were experimenting with in the 90s - no data loss and less wasted electricity overall keeping one machine on that hosts 80 grandma PCs
@creamqueen@skylar yeah that's retarded. I only recommend it when someone asks or they are complaining about windows a lot (windows 11 is what made me finally jump ship for personal use)
@skylar@RustyCrab the thing i dont get about troonix users is how much they force it on others. theyre like potheads. their entire personality is based around it. they have no hobbies other than using an operating system. they exist to peer pressure you into using their shitty OS
@Humpleupagus@RustyCrab@creamqueen@apropos@Hoss@Nudhul they're easing up because they're transitioning to services although that I am pretty sure that their bean counters know that consumers buying services from them is mostly grandmas tricked into paying for outlook by the geek squad
@RustyCrab@creamqueen@Humpleupagus@apropos@Hoss@sun office programs are actually good for what they do, they're just bloated with extra shit like account tethering and stuff that can be trimmed with the high seas edition
I use plan9 every now and then. I do appreciate the simplicity of a true multiplexer and the related sharing / substitution of name spaces, but it's just not a daily driver. Besides, you can get similar effects from the users perspective in linux using ssh, fusemounts, and/or X11 forwarding or xpra.
Plus, machines are way more powerful and have a lot more ram and storage, and networks are way faster, than what Rob was working with at that time. That defeats a lot of the need for distribution of network resources.
if you don't need to make documents to make money, that is fair - but libre has a lot of small annoying issues that makes dropping two business deductible bens to solve is a good investment
I am thankful that I can get away with just using Gimp instead of paying for Adobe, but if I made money making images I would drop the cash even for that and adobe costs a lot more than Office
and excel is a lot better than sheets or whatever it is called (though it has some incredibly frustrating 256 character x86 bullshit that I haven't ever bothered to code solutions to get around - and these are obscure file generation problems that nobody other than programmers will ever deal with)
I mostly write in markdown because styled text is the devil.
Rival jew lawyers would underestimate my ironclad contracts written on bar napkins and McDonald's receipts and end up felted after I broker a corporate acquisition with incredibly favorable terms for my client.
Tbh.... you never know what a guy in a black robe is going up say. I've had favorable and unfavorable decisions where it should have been the other way.
Women judges tend to be more predictable. They'll always act in the manner that gives them the feeling that they're powerful, and they don't feel that way unless they outwardly express it.
Most male judges don't sweat the small stuff and will keep their mouth closed even if the see something out of the corner of their eye. They're more reserved. A female judge will always have to let you know how smart and observant she is, especially if she gets to ride someone's ass because of it.
except I am made it a simple SPA website with firebase (I was lazy, don't insult me over it) so I could write stuff with my family from my phone or computer without needing to download anything
I remember one female judge that basically told me that she was going to shift the cost of a partition (the forced sale of co-owned property) on to us if we didn't settle and despite black letter law that stated that division was to be based on ownership and equitable shifting was only allowed where there's some impropriety (breach of trust, perjury). Defending or requiring trial is not a ground for a sanction. When I pointed to the law on the issue, it only made her more angry because she was just fucking wrong, but couldn't admit it. I was smart enough not to mention how unethical her behavior was (threatening a sanctions for a protected exercise of due process). I didn't bend though and costs were eventually split according to code, because I twisted opposing counsel's arm, but she wasn't happy.
Judges are regulated by the judicial council here, and rarely get pulled. I've only seen one judge removed during my career. Usually it requires some extreme departure from acceptable conduct and an effect on the litigants. We came out fine, so a report would have be unfruitful.
When I see a woman in power, I can't help but think ... someone fucks the shit out of her, i.e. she's someone's bitch. A real leader is a bitch to no one.
Yeah. We get one free disqual here if it's done within 10 days of filing or becoming a party. It requires that you file an affidavit stating the judge is biased, but it doesn't require any further evidence. A general statement is sufficient. Any later disqualification must be for cause and based on evidence.
Nick Rekieta is lucky Minnesota allowed him one free chance to change the judge in his criminal trial. He almost ended up with the female judge presiding over Montagraph's defamation case against him that he had been drunkenly shit talking on stream for the past year. He's still going to jail if he takes his case to trial, but with her presiding he'd probably end up buried under the prison.
Even after every braindead move he's made, I still find it hard to believe that he's actually going to take this shit to trial. He's out of options to stall having to plead, so we're gonna find out soon. God I hope they get approval to televise the proceedings if this is really happening.
I certainly understand the wisdom in being more lenient with your allies than your enemies, but if they go off the deep end there comes a point at which you need to cut 'em loose.
That's always a faggot move. However, as much as Nick may want to try and spin the narrative that it was those damn dirty alawgs that got him raided, it's not true. We were just watching the trainwreck unfold as he willingly broadcasted it to the world. He was reported by his pastor who saw him coming to church coked the fuck out and one of the other parents in his homeschooling co-op that watched him drop off his kids to a lesson while hammered.
@egirlyuumimain@Hoss@RustyCrab@creamqueen@Humpleupagus@apropos@brigrammer@Nudhul@sun nig was attacked by leftist faggots. not saying he doesn't deserve some mockery, but the troons always take it too fucking far by begging the biden doj/fbi to raid someone's house because they don't like them. i hope every judge, cop and prosecutor involved in the case gets sued by nig and he takes their pensions as a result of their political actions.
Lol whoops, I hadn't heard about any retards showing up on Rackets' doorstep, but I figured it was possible. People shouldn't be doing it to Fuentes either, but a lot of the shit he's dealing with is simply him reaping what he and his groyper minions had been sowing for years.
The usage of that proprietary kernel as part of Android is mainstream - there's no "technically".
>digging around in wiki pages pasting random urls into your terminal is a bad user experience. I'm not sure where you even get this from, as no part of the typical LiGNUx user experience is doing that.
Sometimes you run into proprietary sabotage, but usually someone has made a wiki post with step by step bash commands how to workaround it, that you can just copy paste.
Such user experience is much better than trying to follow a video guide or news article about how to use some braindead GUI.
@why my mental test is to imagine teaching your grandmother how to use whatever you are proposing. That knocks a lot of silly ideas out of your head quickly.
It would be possible to compile Linux with a lot of work, but doing so would be pointless, as you would have extreme difficulties installing the updated version and chances are it won't be usable (i.e. missing proprietary driver for the touchscreen etc).
Provided you have root access, you can chroot into whatever GNU distro you want on Android provided that distro works with the extremely outdated version of Linux installed.
B-but you're wrong see?? If you get this specific device model from this specific brand at this specific software version you can install TWRP or whatever, root your shitphone and then run a loonix distribution over chroot!!
Only someone deeply deluded would ever bother doing this shit, phones are degenerate and proprietary brained and the bunch of scumbags that made Android should get curbstomped.
Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre is actually user friendly, as it respects the users freedom instead of shoving proprietary malware down their throat and it's perfectly usable with only GUIs without ever having to run GNU bash in a terminal emulator.
Any competent user will soon realize that many tasks are best completed with GNU bash and use it to carry out those tasks.
@RustyCrab linux enthusiasts dont want to hear this but linux isnt gonna go mainstream until someone makes a distro thats actually user friendly and doesn't require using the terminal
@Noraweed@RustyCrab@sleepingnevi You managed to be correct accidentally, but that's only because the kernel, Linux doesn't operate on its down and nobody offers "Linux PC"s.
Although most shopping centers only offer WC's due to anti-competivine practices and corruption, you actually have to travel to a shopping centre, which isn't that easy really.
Often you can walk a few steps to a dumpster and find a perfectly fine computer, or find them dumped on the street because windows broke and really, installing Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre via the installer GUI is easier than traveling to a shopping centre.
It's just as difficult to order a computer online running a proprietary version of systemd/Linux or windows and often the former is cheaper too.
@sleepingnevi@RustyCrab Doesn't exist, will never exist. Even windows can't always get away from the terminal when shit is broken. However, when shit is that broken on windows it's easy for a normalfag to buy a new windows pc. It's not nearly as easy for them to get a linux pc.
Proprietary malware is proprietary malware that takes your freedom even if you don't pay for it, which makes it nonfree software.
While you shouldn't use an unauthorized copy of proprietary malware (an authorized copy is even worse), such act is not stealing and is usually not even copyright infringement.
@RustyCrab@Hoss@Nudhul@apropos@sun its called free software its called we do a little stealing its called its not actually stealing if buying it doesnt mean you own it
@ToyotaTime@Nudhul If you want to learn how to use the kernel, Linux's SYSCALL or /dev or /sys API, youtube videos are the worst possible way to learn such.
You're better off reading manpages and the few programs that use such.
The GNU bash manual and related documentation are quite good and much better than videos really.
Yes, it is pointless to complain about how windows doesn't respect your freedom unless you are willing to do something about it.
The government takes orders from microsoft before the public.
