@Suiseiseki I'm not talking about custom software built for a business, I'm talking about the software that exists for a given industry which, taken as a whole, is rather niche but is very common in the industry it was developed for. Ansys or Flow3D for computational fluid dynamics, Leapfrog for geoscience, ArcGIS for mapping, Bloomberg for finance, Adobe Premiere or After Effects for video. A lot of businesses don't contract custom software when industry standards are already available and expected and replacing those applications would take a long time.
And when I talk about support, I mean that companies like Esri who at least offer a Linux based install of ArcGIS Enterprise, have no support staff for Linux installs, but only for Windows Server.
Also Octave is pretty useless without Matlab's toolboxes & Simulink. Just because software is libre don't magically give it more features or a better user experience, especially when there are plenty of paid employees working on the proprietary software. It's gonna take a long time to reach parity in a lot of industries. Is it possible to easily draw a circle in GIMP without plugins yet?

The prison is computers, regardless of what software is on them. Outside the prison is literally just outside. Where there's unlimited grass for touching.

@Suiseiseki @gentoobro
If I'm doing something for work then I usually need shit like ArcGIS, leapfrog geo, MATLAB (can run on Linux but iffy), Adobe's various tools, excel, teams, etc. Not that I don't try to substitute when possible, QGIS+R instead of ArcGIS, LaTeX instead of Word, etc. But most people have to work within their employer's workflow, would rather get to their work than spend months learning a new workflow, and a lot of specialty software for businesses don't build for Linux or don't offer enterprise technical support if they do build.

@Suiseiseki @gentoobro Not that I haven't spent years substituting libre software for what is usually used. But often the features just aren't there, you have to spend years writing them, but the average employee isn't that capable or committed, and you have to fight with regulators who expect you to use what everyone else is using.

@bot @caekislove @gentoobro From a female point of view I get where you're coming from. And I would prefer it if my sons didn't watch porn and my daughters (though I have only sons) never got involved in porn. But guilting a man over feelings of "imagine if that was your daughter" ends up being counter-productive.

@teratology @caekislove @bot @gentoobro The effect of pornographic video on the brain, relative to still images or magazines, is considerable. But like @gentoobro said, a lot of it can stem from isolation, the lack of a loving wife, or loneliness in another word. The male loneliness epidemic is pretty widely accepted now. So Bot's approach of "imagine if that was your daughter" just increases feelings of guilt, alienation, which increases feelings of loneliness, which ends up driving men further into their addiction.

@bot @caekislove @gentoobro I don't know how much empathy factors into quitting. Do you mean empathy for the women involved?
As for men. self respect is a big part of it. But the biggest part is belief, the belief that it has anything to offer, does something for you, or alleviates any stress. As soon as one stops believing that it has anything to offer, that power evaporates. It's pretty surprising how effective belief is.

@bot @caekislove @gentoobro Porn has been brutal for men, hijacking their base insticts, pretty much every man is addicted to it some degree or another.

@SuperDicq @lina @crunklord420 @meso @taylan Alright you sold me, I'm giving it another go.

@SuperDicq @lina @crunklord420 @meso @taylan Yeah I get it fits the characters, a little too relatable maybe. I'll probably give it another go once I finish Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

@SuperDicq @lina @crunklord420 @meso @taylan I watched it until the second season where the guy completely flubs hooking up with the lady racer because he thinks he's not good enough for her, then starts crying after realizing how hard he dropped the ball. I didn't want to watch more screwups of that magnitude.

Holy moly, I didn't know MC Hammer was based.

@Suiseiseki @mangeurdenuage @thatbrickster More importantly, is the software for the fire control and targeting systems on the M1A1 published under the GPL? It would be a major violation of insurgents' freedoms to be aided by non-free software when blowing up their homes.

@bot I am usually doing some work this time of day and would much prefer it if we could have normal conversations.

@bot Stop ragging on my family, I spent all day with them, getting new furniture for my wife, my son slept on my chest for his nap because he didn't want to have his nap alone. You're really starting to bug me and I don't appreciate it.

@bot Well yesterday you implied that I am "probably innocent actually" of talking to pedos, which I take in botspeak to be a giant seal of approval.

@Suiseiseki @PurpCat The software just doesn't yet exist on Linux for a lot of business applications, and most people can't/won't spend time fiddling with some command line based alternative when that time could be spent making money from clients, or when the industry standards expected by regulators only exist on Winblows.

@Suiseiseki @menherahair What about GNU/Windows (windows server compiled with GCC).
