I welcome other’s input but I thought this was a pretty clear cut case of Mac becoming popular. Why write a program for Windows and Mac when you can just make a website. Then Chromebooks in education sealed the deal.

Linux is only starting mainstream use now because of Europe’s push for digital sovereignty and windows 10 end of life.

What’s an awk?

Just looked them up and God those are ugly. Why are they so thick even around the bottom.

Long long Android.

People are dumb. I used dark mode on my laptop and people thought I was doing some serious shit.

For Taiwan specifically, they took a gamble. The government wanted advanced jobs and I believe willing to fund it a bit. Taiwanese nationals who had hit the glass ceiling in the US because of reasons moved backed and wanted to start companies. One took the bold bet of being a chip manufacturer that only produced other companies designs, as opposed to being a company that designed and produced. Very odd when it relies on those other companies giving you work. It was a gamble that paid off.

As for risc, it’s open (someone more informed can fill in the better details) so China is betting big on it because it’s cheap. I believe it also takes less advanced chips (nm size) so you don’t have to exactly be on the cutting edge of manufacturing equipment.

Different goals. Elon’s probably more willing to make uh an unethical ai. Private company. When it comes to Tesla, no real reason it can’t fail.

Different company.

Reminds me of this sketch https://youtu.be/qJmgLqQ-uog

“Headquartered” in Latvia. But really it’s Russian.

Yeah I don’t think they keyworded “updating”. That’s ddg. Especially with the context of Gentoo, which ddg also couldn’t figure out.

It gives bad results. I mean just look at OP’s post. It picked up on “dating” and “apps” and gave ads and probably results on that instead “updating” and “apps”. Even when he also included the context of “gentoo”. It’s just bad at keywords. It just gives a scatter of semi related terms.

I wish ddg didn’t suck, but ddg sucks.

Well I can see this is no longer going to be productive,

Says the guy that gleefully admitsbrags about calling people nazis lol.

Oh and you still feel the need to provoke and slap. Still haven’t taken that look in the mirror huh.

LMAO see I was being polite and giving you a small out, and you said “no no no I was being very rude” as if that helps you. Oh god. And then you say “humble yourself” lol. Wow you need to look in the mirror. Open your mind and look in the mirror. With fresh eyes, and look in the mirror.

It’s a reach that something can be interpreted as it was stated?

I can retrospect. Hopefully you can too because I’m going to hold up the mirror. All of the following is your thinly veiled actions (plausible deniability anyone?).

First, thinly veiled, you likened me stating people misinterpreted my question to how people are banned typically after really going off on mods. Whether you agree or not on people misinterpreting a question, those things are miles apart. Second, you, thinly veiled again, likened me to Musk. Do I need to explain the negativity of that association? Third, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by trying to have plausible deniability. Fourth, you, again thinly veiled, essentially said I was covering making rapist comments by saying I was trying to be clever about it. And the doozy, fifth. Again thinly veiled, you liken me to people talking about the third Reich. Like wow. If that Nazi connotation from Elon wasn’t enough, you really pulled out a doozy there. That is a crystal clear pattern of you attacking people by likening them to other people. All thinly veiled connotations so that you can later say you didn’t actually make the connection (you know, plausible deniability). Or maybe you were doing it so that if I said anything, you could say “are you interpreting differently??” like a gotcha. I could explain that one too, maybe next time.

You took every chance you could to provoke, slap, and escalate. You are no longer trying to have a conversation when try to liken someone to Nazis, you just want to slap. Don’t worry I’m not provoked. I just urge you to think about that.

And inb4 misreading I’m saying this not because I’m provoked or mad, I’m saying this because your pattern is clear. You want me to reflect, and I want you to reflect.

If someone can’t see what the literal words say then… there are bigger problems. Which may actually explain things.

It’s odd that you think I raged. I observed.

I can see. But if people have a choice to interpret something as 1) that a question about fashion is in fact an innocuous question about fashion, or 2) that he’s obviously a rapist and victim blaming and I’m going to call him a rapist (when the entire tone of the thread and community is not serious), the problem that I see is that Lemmy is quick to misinterpret in the worst way possible.

And oddly enough, he was the person to escalate with that accusation, and I was the one to explain it.

LOL no I wasn’t joking around (about rape or anything else). It was a legit, straightforward question about fashion. And no he wasn’t joking, it was a pretty clear accusation.
