The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.

Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.

So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.

It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.

Its worse. He’s a Mormon.

Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.

Neurotypical people do not.

I’ve gotten into quite a lot of systemd-related flame wars so far, and what strikes me is that I haven’t heard a single reason why systemd is good and should be used in favor of openrc/sysvinit/whatever.

“Hi I’m new to Linux, I switched from Windows to Alpine Linux and my laptop’s battery life has gone from 6 hours to 30 minutes before needing a charge.”

Which Podman version are you running it on?

A fountain pen is just a controlled leak

Identifying might be the best word to use, given the psychology literature all tends to use that, but thank you for your critique.

Why are people so interested in defining themselves along sexual identity and orientation in relatively recent western culture?

Why now? Why is it so different from most of human existence?

Because we are no longer facing famine. The Green Revolution has made our relationship with food so secure we no longer define ourselves in relation to it.

Throughout most of history people are farmers or ranchers or shepherds or bakers or butchers or millers.

So, we climb the Biological hierarchy of needs looking for our next characteristic that needs fulfillment.

Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

It is simple and compounding.

You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.

Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.

Currently, as they are dying today, yes.

This is not how malls have traditionally worked.

In the past, malls provided a plug-and-play way for national chain retail to offer premium, private-labeled goods that allowed them to extract money away from a community’s locally owned stores found on main street.

Malls were just a way to privatize mainstreet and allow the ownership class of capitalists to extract more money from a local economy through large chain stores and to give them private control over what used to be public space.

Now the middle class is worth a fraction of what it used to be, their purpose has dissolved.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

Musk has been using x.com since the Mac OS 8 days.

He’d easily have prior rights.

Yeah, Reddit was like that about a decade or more ago.

The current level of bot activity there is actually insane.

Windows has always been good at making the non-experienced feel comfortable and taking advantage of them.

Everybody loves their first Diamondback.

They are basically dinosaurs.

American Robins are not the same as European Robins.

American Robins were named so because they vaguely reminded British settlers of their robins “from home”.

Non-utilitized internet service.

Internet providers ARE UTILITIES. Regulate them like one.
