@KaiserKitty@Forestofenchantment yeah package management is basically non existent on windows. They tried to do it somewhat with windows store, but Microsoft is a piece of shit corrupt organization and you end up with stuff like "you need to pay $7 to install Python 3"
@KaiserKitty@Forestofenchantment I really do not like WSL. I always have weird issues in almost everything. Thankfully MOST things you use WSL for are actually possible in windows natively. The only trouble is finding out how to set them up getting past all the pajeet SEO spam about WSL.
@KaiserKitty@Forestofenchantment I know it's not the same chip architecture, but the last macbook I had was awful. Thermal throttling constantly on daily tasks. It took 40 times longer to do the same compile job that my windows laptop did. All because "fans scare the hoes". I was already skeptical of macs but I'm far more so after that mess.
@KaiserKitty@Forestofenchantment yeah I have no real complaint about their architecture because I've never used it. I only bring a bunch of skepticism because I know how apple fans get and I have pretty exceptional compute workloads that have historically highly inappropriate for mac capabilities (or any small form factor laptop for that matter). I also can't stand their ecosystem lockin.
@KaiserKitty@Forestofenchantment fwiw windows has pretty good terminal support these days and you can install zsh natively. I haven't had to use cmd or powershell in ages
@J@sun@pi55d I'm aware, but my point is that the app hitting escape velocity attracted heat from feds everywhere. If it's not ruined yet, they're certainly trying. I'd rather than not happen to fedi.
@J@sun@pi55d I do not bother making a case against WhatsApp because it is owned by Facebook. If you trust mark zuckerberg to keep your communications private, please consider a cat scan
@J@sun@pi55d I don't use either of those platforms, but as an example, them taking off caused them to become monitored government honeypots. Maybe you don't care about that, but it does defeat the original purpose.
