  • Amazon had an app store? Huh.

  • 99% sure it - or large parts of it - are AI generated.

    But in this case it's the content that counts, not the artistry.

  • I would throw in the argument that the pace at which innovation happens is fostered by competition.

    That's not the only driver, of course. There's curiosity, passions, social movements, etc. But market pressure seems a huge driver.

  • Sure, but in the meantime I need to work with what I have... which is Intel (on some machines, at least).

  • One could argue that a civilised age doesn't need weapons at all.

  • Are we judging people on what they did and said over 10 years ago? If so, then that says more about the one judging than the one judged.

  • Sadly, quite a few things. Here's a few:

    • Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
    • One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
    • Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
    • Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
    • Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
    • Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn't always an out-of-the-box experience
    • Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

    Don't get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.

  • Personally I find that linking "making money" with "climbing the social ladder" is at the core of many of our issues.

    Going even further, ranking each other based on factors like wealth, education, occupation, influence, etc. is degrading and leads to inequality, corruption and emotional/mental health problems, to name a few. The idea that success is measured almost exclusively by economic gain and social rank distorts human values.

  • People weren't supposed to create that shortcut in the first place, thus disrespecting the park.

  • In case you're wondering. The rival is IRIS2.

  • One of the rawest moments of human emotion in modern Star Wars. All executed by brilliant cinematography, writing, acting... such a powerful scene!

  • I agree. It's only that it could use a facelift. In my opinion it looks a little dated these days. In my opinion.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Accidentally wrote an ISO to an encrypted 5TB drive… Help?

  • Most of the alternatives mentioned have such low adoption that they aren't truly viable options yet - no matter how much we wish otherwise.

    And I say that not as a critic - I actually use Matrix, XMPP, and Jitsi myself. But guess how many of my friends, family, or colleagues are on them?

    Exactly.

    That’s why I recommend Signal. At least there, people are likely to find folks they already know.

  • By features, yes. By 10 miles.

    Privacy? It isn't driving anymore at this point.
