In one article I saw they claimed that they didn’t aim for Bluesky (it acted on it’s own tho) because of low user numbers.

Fediverse is pretty much nonexistent next to that so…yeah. They don’t care because it’s literally not worth the trouble for them xD

Fixxd: Back up alarm turned into active drive alarm.

Hey, what you descibe is a power user. And that’s valid, but power users also don’t tend to have problems with linux, and they ain’t anywhere close to majority of computer users. Also, to even download a game nowadays you need to have store installed so that’s crossed out, and then game drivers are installed by the store so (or added to cd installer in ye olde times) so wtf you on about.

But again. You are power user. Linux is, IMO, better than Windows for power users because you can do whatever with it. Windows is, however, better for granny, weird office lady and that quite dense kid who, while wanting to use computers, cannot be bothered to learn anything more than where the web browser icon sits.

Is it? For most users, windows takes care of absolutely everything and if something lacks, just google, download and done, especially because most software is written for windows. With Defender they even removed need of antivirus for a normal user.

If something lacks on Linux, half the time you need to say hello to console. You also need to learn about software alternatives, because there’s high probability that the default, well known option won’t work.

To both of which most people will say no to from the very start.

Like, literally. I have not sent a private email since 2010 xD

I even mentioned Mint and that it drops problems to lower level, so? My grandma barely grasped the concept of a browser and had problems understanding how to use google.

And sure as hell when she got some custom-software disc from hospital with embedded images from her x-ray or whatever it’s called, I wouldn’t want her to need to also deal with Linux possibly not being able to run it.

Heh, I’m literally in the same boat as you - testing distros and such. And I studied programming for some time so I have above average tech literacy and yet still I had to spend some time learning how to get old wi-fi on a laptop to work (thankfully well documented), and I still have to tinker with which distro will be best for my hardware as it’s not only kinda old, but also I have nvidia card and some wierd wifi so I am ready for things to be weird.

And I hope I didn’t come off as saying that Linux is some insurmountable wall for everyday folk in original comment but as you pointed out - everyday folk ain’t willing to deal with any problems in the first place.

XKCD comic about specialists expectations towards everyday folk come to mind xD

> Ask

And then ask again each and every single time something doesn’t work. Or you need to install something. Something is badly configured.

You need at least medium level tech literacy to deal with Linux. Maaaaybe entry level with Mint and the like, but still, if you get skittish due to console, at which 70% of worlds population at minimum does, Linux ain’t for you.

Windows is successful because it’s easy to understand and holds your hand as much as possible. People who are complaining are quite often folk who are simply forced to use it, most people don’t really see anything wrong, even those using tech more…

At this point I believe that USA reds are so focused on remaining in power, because to do the shit they’ve done they basically all became criminals and the moment they lose power is the moment they’ll have to face consequences.

And, simply wanting power aside, they’re scared shitless of that.

But it paints a really grim picture for USA, because the most dangerous animal is the cornered one - as soon as they’ll start actually losing, they will drag ya all to hell :/

Now you put a stupid idea in front of me of Musk doing shit for the common folk just because no one in the higher class wants to have to deal with him, just to stroke his ego and make it to history books.

Ultimate pettiness that would benefit the whole world.

Worst part is, some naive part of me believes this idiot is capable of that. xD

See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D

Come ooon, she just tilted her head a little, no need to scare the poor woman xD

Dunno, organised my shit once and done, I can now get to my shit faster than I type so yeah.

It’s that vertical one aye? Used it for oldie backup phone and it was a blessing. But if you use more apps, it’s not worth it imo

1. Mistaken Red Cross and Caritas, that’s on me.

2. Groomed and brainwashed…ehhhh. I would like to say this doesn’t happen, but nah, I’ve seen few rotten apples trying to scare people via God’s ire or try to manipulate them to believe only Christians can do good. Yet again, that’s a small part of the whole. Sadly, this part isn’t discouraged by the whole…

3. First of all, thanks for pointing this out. Didn’t know it, got only the sanctified info about the topic…there seems to be more info digging before me now, but even after just wikipedia, opinions seem to be divided. Nevertheless, quotations from her make it seems rather like operation for allowing people thrown out of the system to die in peace rather than helping them…dammit.

4. Cannot add here anything, last pope started wrangling it in the right direction just for the current guy to halt it again.

5. If someone says they’re good, in my opinion they’re not. Good people don’t say they’re good - it either comes from vanity or guilt. But sure as hell Christianity creates frameworks for good people that boost their work and allow them to do more…which sadly seems to be often abused by people who shouldn’t touch them.

Overall thanks for the discussion, and especially for bringing Mother Teresa up. I’d still argue that Christianity does more good than bad, which is also why when it does bad it’s so controversial, but I am also gonna admit that it’s…outdated. Hell, making a space for people to die with dignity may have been okay in opium days, but today, with commonplace medicine access? Fuck…

And about original topic - all above doesn’t change the fact that what happens now in USA is actually opposed fully to teachings of Christianity. Even with Mother Teresa the situation is more gray than black/white, but here it’s straight up heresy.

Red Cross, constant help for struggling people, giving an alternative to raising a child (where I live it’s called Window of Life, and is basically actual window where you can leave your baby. Church will then take care of giving it a chance in life.) etc. etc.

It’s like there always is some asshole at the helm when shit happens. Sounds similiar, America?

Don’t give a flying fuck my friend - I will continue to call bullshit. Stop calling them christians - they’re heretics by definition, openly defying the teachings. Also, fallacy fallacy my friend, even if I used “No True Scotsman” - which doesn’t even apply here because being a Christian does have requirements they don’t follow so there’s no redefining here - that doesn’t mean I am wrong.

Call them heretics/heathens openly. I can bet my ass that would hurt ^^

Also, this is dumb as fuck. “You do what we do and what happens? Everything falls apart”.

Bitch so you KNOW you are fucking up this country AND you’re saying it out loud?!

USA. Please, how dumb folks ya have in there? ;-; How can they not see the meaning?

For fucks sake, can ya all stop calling these heathens Christians? Sorry but to be called a Christian you need to follow teacheings of Christ, I know, not obvious at all! -.-’

And no, no jew-like bending rules around till they fit what you want either (wierd line hanged around…NYC IIRC…to allow them to “work” when their religion forbids?). You have the ten tenets, follow them dammit. These dumb fucks break them DAILY.

And that’s before we even go into teachings of, you know, being empathetic towards your brethern. You can even replace Jesus with Superman and…ah, sorry, forgot USA conservatists hate him too.

FFS USA.
