  • Just install Linux, get it over with, more away from the clutches of Microsoft, use a system that is free and easy to work with.

    Yeah, Linux is not perfect, nothing is. Might Linux require you in some cases to do some extra work? Maybe. Windows does not? Did you read this post? Did you read the countless other posts where Microsoft makes your life harder on purpose, triest to spy juuuust a little harder on you? Where Microsoft tries to fuck you over, yet again? Where Microsoft for the Nth time purposefully and willfully ignored security threats to save money or face, allowing even the US government to be hacked cuz better for Microsoft?

    Seriously, it’s like watching a woman with a best up face defending her husband, he isn’t that bad, or if I leave I will be without this thing I need, omg, what will I do?

    Just. Leave. Switch to linux, and be done with this shit


  • Are you listening to yourself? Why are you even using this shite? You pay for being screwed over, bit don’t worry everyone, we can unsabotage the crap we paid for!

    Switch to Linux already, come to the dark side, we have cookies.

    Ona more serious note: there are literally less reasons every day to stick to windows. Games? Most , ir not damn near all work fine or better on linux. Photoshop? Run it in a VM if you must, away from the rat of your work, but at least stop paying Microsoft money FFS. Yes, actively pirate windows if you must.

    I’m so fucking tired of people writing how they spend so much time to restore their paid product to a barely functional level, then complain about Linux being too complicated.

    My literal last experience installing both lonic and windows was 25 minutes for Linux (that includes downloading the iso and burning it on a USB) and 7 grueling hours spread out over 4 days with countless failed attempts to install windows, BIOS metssing, trying different ISO burner programs, with the final attempt taking well over an hour to complete, passing countless “BUY MORE, ALLOW US TO SPY, GIVE US MORE MONEY, YOU WILL USE THIS SERVICE!” screens. Then Linux just worked and windows still was fucking me over.

    Why do people put up with this? Just use Linux, get it over with. So much less pain.


  • Small correction here:

    These services have nothing to do with 3g, 5g or wifi. All those are just communication protocols that phones use to connect to the internet, and neither your phone, nor their apps nor their servers will care a dime about those. Of 6g comes out or 5g disappears, nothing changes.

    As long as the provider keeps their servers for your services up, the service is there. And that’s where the problem lies. It’s not the cost. A single 100 dollar / month server could easily cover all remote starts world wide, it really doesn’t require that much.

    Decisions to take down these services and screw over paying customers are typically made my middle and upper management, to force people to buy their new crap

    Yeah, it’s still crap. I’m not trying to defend these products requiring paid services, it’s shite and I would only use open sourced services, I’m just saying that the technology is a little different than you said

    modern flights often happen from aircraft carriers anyway

    Eh, no?

    Aircraft carriers are ridiculously complicated and expensive, hence even the us only having around a dozen or so? Russia famously has none. Great Brittain has like 2 or so, France like 1?

    Its been a while, I don’t remember the exact numbers, but the number of aircraft carriers in the world would be in the very low dozens because they’re damn near unaffordably expensive.

    The beyond vast majority of modern flights still happen from airports







  • Yeaaahh, since US government policies are the entire reason that that drug war exists, Id say thanks, but no thanks.

    Edit: to expand a little on this: US drug policy caused the entire drug trade, the high prices, and the extreme violence. The US then doesn’t send their best, they send their weapons, and they send them knowingly straight to the cartels (thanks, US gun manufacturers!). US government actually supported this for a while to see if it was true and… Did nothing with that.

    Then US army would train Mexican soldier which then took that training straight into the Zetas which murdered even harder.

    At this point, I can only say “FIX YOUR GODDAMN DRUG POLICIES, YOU @SSH@LES” and keep away, please.
