So you’re telling me they stole 3 million dollars?

Those are literally the worst

Data collection is the least of your concern with a kernel level anti cheat

What about getting hot for your Ethernet cable?

Your nice, long, sexy Ethernet cable? With that wide bandwidth? That low latency? I’m getting wet just thinking about it. Let’s LAN party ;)

Hot

What, you mean to tell me you don’t wanna watch MUTAHAR LAUGH COMPILATION AT FNAF FREDDIE FAZBEAR POOPING ON PURPLE GUY 3AM (GONE SEXUAL)?

If that’s blue green deployment, then what is red yellow deployment?

How exactly did Linux get fucked by capitalism?

This image is of Linus torvalds giving nvidia the middle finger because they are absolutely terrible to work with, money aside.

Copilot is not ethical because it allows you to use source code that is not legal to use under certain license types

Guarantee that they contributed no code back

RISC-V is still not going to take over x86 for quite a while. As much as I’d love for it to, it’s still going to take some work.

Give it about 8-10 years and I think that’s when x86 is going to be out the window, and will be an architecture delegated solely for enthusiasts.

The job market is utterly shit right now, they frankly do not have a choice.

The forced elon spam reeks of insecurity. I thought the whole reason behind being extremely rich was not giving a fuck about what the world thinks, yet here we are.

I agree with every point you make except for the desktop environment front end.

While it is nice to install a distro with a given desktop environment OOTB, you can always change it, and even have multiple ones installed at the same time. This is typically a better approach to testing out desktop environments because you don’t have to reinstall every time.

Memory pressure? You mean niceness?

Niceness just gives a program a higher CPU (and thus, RAM) priority.

Your system is still going to swap. The idling ram doesn’t magically go away. That’s how it works. If it didn’t, you start experiencing bugs, crashes, and data loss, because there is no more room in the pool.

Just because a computer is “idle” doesn’t mean it isn’t doing anything, it is still performing work to stay on, composite your window manager, display it, run services in the background. Those services are still programs that are often vital to the operating system actually functioning, you can’t just make that utilization magically disappear because you need more RAM because they tend to have lower niceness values than programs in userspace, even Windows understands that.

Yes, if you are swapping at idle then you indeed did do something horribly wrong, it is a bit comical that you don’t realize that proves my point. The explorer.exe devs indeed did something horribly wrong, they released shitty half baked code because managers think more code = harder/better work when it is actually the reverse.

Unless you don’t have a lot of ram and don’t want to spill over into swap?

Aside from that, why would you say that? So if it idled at 8 GB of ram (which it is on its way to eventually doing) would you still say that?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous of a concept it is that a clean operating system alone idles alone on 4gb of ram? What in the hell are the services doing that would make it idle that high? The bloat stacks too you know, if the code that is used to run services in an operating system is inefficient, it will get proportionally worse the more services and programs you open up.

1.4 GB ram idle usage

That is still comically high. Arch Linux with DWM gets 100 mb, I’ve seen gentoo builds with DWM get as low as 40 mb.

KDE looks better than windows and it gets a third of the ram idle usage at most.

Asian makes and models have always gotten great gas mileage to begin with though, especially within the last thirty years. Hybrids for the most part have only brought good gas mileage to american manufacturers, but even then the Asian ones are still better than this.

That being said though, there’s no real evidence that hybrids are significantly better for the environment considering many drivers still use combustion for propulsion along with the fact that the electricity in the battery tends to be charged on coal power.

Electric cars are the future, but the state of electric cars right now are a serious mess due to manufacturer greed.

Oh no, it definitely wasn’t, but it was a hell of a lot better than what apple fans are facing now
