Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

phoenixz,

I’m sorry, 100W USB-C is throwaway stuff now? Wut?

phoenixz,

Also, one of these actually needs and uses the bed, the other one doesn’t.

phoenixz,

Because I can do things in 30 seconds what two windows admins take 15 minutes to do with their point and clicking. Not even making this up, this happened.

phoenixz,

You love Hitlers paintings?

phoenixz,

He’s a successful scammer, for sure, but at the end of the day still a scammer who got fired for incompetence and then got lucky.

phoenixz,

And you completely miss the point where it’s much harder to comprehend what people are talking about. Had it said “he/him” it would have been 100% clear without a doubt immediately, and it would have insulted NOBODY.

Nobody was insulted by him/her since forever, now we can’t use that anymore because somehow it’s exclusionary, insulting or “assuming the obvious gender”

phoenixz,

It’s always so hard to read and understand when people start using them/they when referring to a single person. Please stop, it’s okay to say him/her, nobody will die.

phoenixz,

Finally, KDE is going back to having some nice bling after slowly removing it for years.

If now they can make kwin stable, I’d be so happy

phoenixz,

Potholer54 is still active, he also doesn’t almsk for money for him but for charity projects instead

phoenixz,

This is where garderobe manufacturers are technically right, but theyre still dicks by (ab)using the fuck out of it.

TB = factors of 1000 which humans use, TiB is factors of 1024, which computers use.

Yes yes, they have it correct, it’s 2TB but you’re selling less than expected and you fucking know it.

Then there is also the filesystem that takes a small required cut to store your files nicely but that is almost negligible

phoenixz,

they’ve been doing this for literally centuries

So it’s Friday December the fifth, 80 AD, 5:30pm, and Mozes is hacking away on his clay tables to nail down the final tally of this week’s adminstration of the amount of cows his boss owns and he goes "Mother fucker! These romans again ripped me off, sold me a clay tablet that only allows me to count to 720 cows, not the 751 I got! FUCK! Now I need another tablet and start tallying from the beginning, you mother fuckers!

phoenixz,

I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.

phoenixz,

Not controversial, just plain true. This university sports thing from the US is crazy

phoenixz,

Nissan NX 2000, those were the days. I loved (and still love) the headlights

phoenixz,

And anytime you mention that anywhere when somebody is being fucked again by windows, people find you annoying

phoenixz,

Missed opportunity for “Weapons of ass destruction”

I’m 15 years old again, apparently…

phoenixz,

At first glance I thought these were towels on some rooftop and now I have the hardest time unseeing that

phoenixz,

There are some (few) apps where flatpak may be the right solution. Many apps should NOT be flatpak

phoenixz,

Still better than snap

phoenixz,

In all honesty, after years of trying I gave up and just went the route…

phoenixz,

One of us! one of us! One of us!

phoenixz,

Will it replace Photoshop?

phoenixz,

Install Linux anyway

Why would you pay for an incompetent sabotaging system?

I installed both windows and Linux about a week ago. Linux was (with download and USB creation) a little over 30 minutes. Windows was an agonizing 7 hour journey through all sorts of dumb vague error messages, internet searches disconnecting and reconnecting drives, various rewrites the that USB drive, having to spin up a VPS in Linux and install windows there first… It was a fucking nightmarish hellscsape caused by a mix of windows developers (and their managers) incompetence and pure sabotage of people that use real operating systems.

Fuck everything about Microsoft, install Linux and stick with that. We have cookies

phoenixz,

Nothing. He was a scammer and an idiot who got lucky, and that is what he still is, only with more money.

He was fired for incompetence before, let that sink in

phoenixz,

I’d join in
