Yeah. That’s fair enough.

Both sides have merit. I get both angles tbh

Also, there would be ants everywhere in the vicinity after

Also, I grew up trying games like Unreal tournament on Linux.

At the time, I thought wine was stupid and would never catch up.

However we’re at the point that a lot of games already run better on Linux than windows even via wine… There are even more opportunities here in the future

Don’t compile it in then…

It’s literally that simple… but yeah, it is sync, you are correct

We could debate the advantage and disadvantages of a lot of things in the main kernel. There’s so much stuff in there that only benefits certain limited applications, and we could make the argument for userspace for almost everything, including a lot of filesystem drivers

Like it or not, wine and gaming is probably the biggest avenue where Linux is winning on the desktop at the moment (especially thanks to steam). We shouldn’t ignore it

I’ve been using Linux for at least 20+ years now. And seen a lot of stuff come and go.

A lot of distros are shipping with ntsync anyway, and, it’s something that will definitely get maintained

Sold both of my oculus headsets a few months ago. Looking forward to this

Except this is a scheduler issue from my understanding.

You can make the argument to put everything into user space, but it’s a performance issue.

One of the growing huge applications of linux these days is gaming, which depends hugely on performance, and almost every gamer out there is likely using wine (generally, without even realising it).

Depends. For games it’s usage is fairly common these days. It’s transparent in steam

It’s not perfect for apps but it does a surprisingly good job

Not even just in US, but internationally thanks to the blockade

Who would think that a company whose site is basically a safe haven for racists and trolls at this point with no moderation would push away your average person and need to dump staff

Here in Australia, you can barely even comment on anything anymore without some tryhard being racist or abusing the government. Even worse, lots of people with criminal incitement that gets ignored

Literally saw a photo of cane toads. Some wanker commented “that’s Albo penny Wong and dan andrews”. There was no reason to be political at all

It’s just no longer fun on there. And there is no way to block all posts by people you don’t know by default from your wall

Why? Lots of people are using wine.

That’s like saying we shouldn’t be including modules for reverse engineered hardware that only benefits that company

Any situation. Even the boot leaks water apparently, and the official solution is to use tubs

I legit can’t think of why you would buy it, as there are other EV Utes out there which seem better

The only good thing is that like the VW Beetle there might be collectors value in this (or like the Yugo)

Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

I used to sell them.

The reality is, Apple Succeeded by lying about their stability, people thought they couldn’t get viruses, and people wiling to overlook their f***-ups.

Here in Australia, a week before Boot camp was released, i actually showed a national sales manager how we got Windows running on a Mac mini, and told him how it would be a great transition technology. He basically tried to make me look like an idiot in front of customers in our showroom.

A week later, boot camp was released. The same guy returned, and was repeating all the same arguments I made a week ago, and was proud of them, acting like Apple’s was brilliant. I got no apology. I should have called him out at the time, burnt my bridges and demanded an apology.

The things Microsoft and Google did are honestly less bad than honestly. Apple blatantly lied about a lot of things, stood on stage and pretended like they had full rights to multitouch, and they had invented it.

In fact, Microsoft bailed out Apple in 1997, and the moment they started recovering, they treated Microsoft like crap

Better off going elsewhere for Linux.

Linux will always be a second class citizen for Apple.

Not in my household. In some cultures the concept of 0 doesn’t even exist

This guy is definitely in the Epstein files… probably a supplier…

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Yep… Here in Australia, they call them all “Raj”.

Not all of them, but, at least on Facebook, they seem to make us look bad internationally

Sailfish is also a great option too

This is particularly an issue here in Australia.

Our most vocal racist community is our Truckie community. They blame everyone for everything except themselves. They even argue that normal drivers shouldn’t pull over for sleep and that it’s killing Truckies (less spots for them to stop). It’s always about them…

And they always love to emphasise how important and irresplacable they are, despite the fact it’s one of Australia’s lowest skilled jobs.

When fuel prices went up, many of them were demanding they strike and block all the roads because many signed bad/risky contracts they didn’t want to blame themselves for

Not all of them, but the problem is so bad a newspaper even recently published how toxic they were
