Ah yeah. You’re right.

I didn’t say people shouldn’t install Linux. But even if you do, browser share matters and if Microsoft is abusing their customers and tricking them into using edge in mass, then it will affect you as a Linux user too.

Microsoft can modify chromium. They can add proprietary things to it. Yes you could use edge if you have to critical pages that only works right on edge.

Windows is telling people their computer is broken if they don’t use Edge.

Switching to Linux won’t save you if Microsoft Edge takes such a huge market share that a lot of the internet starts to basically require it.

Backing this stuff up is really difficult. The vast majority of macs don’t have enough storage to keep everything local. If you put it on an external drive then it disables some features.

My solution is to keep an old Mac as a backup device that keeps all the files local and backs them up. But that’s far more than most people are prepared to do.

This article is complete trash who’s upvoting this garbage?

In the book, I remember that sookie says that someone “had her engine running like the pace car at the indie 500”or something like it.

And god help you if you forget those 3 lines somewhere and you silently have database failures or something else.

They’re basically fashion victims.

My favorite is “Java is slow” said by someone advocating for a language that’s at least 10 times slower.

From what I read, it didn’t even just suck, it was practically fraud. They knew how many sales they had and only stood up enough servers to support around 200 players.

Everyone who works on making software is a developer, even people who don’t program at all. people who make art for software work in software development. A “coder” only writes code. It’s more of a task than a job. A software engineer does technical design and probably also codes.

That it’s a religion. Except for a few groups, which I find kind of strange, being an atheist is the lack of religion and belief in a god. It’s not a religion or anything like a religion and so often I see atheism discussed by the religious in religious terms l, as a monolith, and other ways that just totally miss the mark.

Software development is never profitable?

Toxic” is different to everyone though. That’s why these comment sections always go in circles. To some people saying “paradox are crooks and they have no respect for us and they’re ripping us off by using us as beta testers,” is toxic to some. And to others it is seen as constructive criticism. So when someone says “this community is toxic”. I don’t really know what they’re saying. “Toxic” has just become a lazy buzz word that makes discussing this kind of thing pointless.

Hating kids is badass if you are a kid.

If you ignore the actual usage of words then you’re speaking your own language and talking only with your own in-group bubble.

This was not a conversation about the political science term “liberal”. It is about lies told to everyone. We’re obviously discussing common usage.

That’s only true if you use the international definition of “liberal”. In America, “liberal” means “left wing”. And we’re talking about American politics.

“Democrats are liberal/progressive”

In reality, they’re pretty conservative.
