Well, considering the scales, the difference is not only imperceptible, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to measure.

Quit eating and tell us about it I guess…

I am an engineer. Most developers aren’t though, unfortunately.

Everything can be. But for the largest majority of people, eating is normal, eventhough it can seem to have some aspects of an addiction.

And the most important part here is that even if you somehow get addicted to food, you cannot simply stop eating. Because you need to eat for your survival. It’s a biological need.

That’s the point of the example : showing that something you can’t stop doing is not necessarily a bad thing. The details are very important when it comes to addiction.

And video games are unfortunately victim of propaganda when it comes to their dangers.

An addiction is defined by two things : first, it has negative effects on your life. Second, trying to stop it makes you miserable.

Food for example is not an addiction, it’s a biological need. The need for socialisation is another one.

Video games can be an addiction. But I’d argue that they’re usually not, they usually a coping mechanism. When they are, the problem is elsewhere, and the video games are helping you to survive through the problem.

I think you’re thinking backward. Internet is what it is because a single protocole unified it. Without it, you’d have island working with only one browser each, some would eventually die and with them large parts of Internet would disappear.

Internet works on unified protocoles. Everything that challenged this model is bound to fail. That’s why javascript is so successful eventhough it’s so shitty as a language.

Evolution can only be iterative.

It’s Remote Desktop Protocol. A Microsoft protocol for taking controle of a remote (Windows) computer.

“something as simple as RDP” haha hahaha you’re a funny one!

My recent experience with helping a friend with an nvidia card to work on Linux is that I never want to touch an nvidia card again.

Also, please tell me which average user makes its own windows installation. When I was young in the 90s I was paid to install windows in my village.

But yes, much progress is still needed to smooth the installation. The problem is that the hardware is often a fault though, through their shitty drivers.

Fascism has everything to do with poverty and inequalities. And inequalities in Europe are rising a lot. Where do you get your informations?

Capitalism is a sickness. It breeds crisis that lead to war, and it lives out of war and exploitation. But that’s beside the point.

No one needs office unless the company forces it.

All countries of Europe are going fascists one after the other. Why if there is no problem?

Europe had capitalism under a leash because communism was here to threaten it. Since the 90’s, capitalism is unleashed and inequalities are rising. USA didn’t had communism to tame its capitalism, because it was basically forbidden because of the cold war.

Capitalism is entirely focused on having companies making a profit. If you don’t have strong states to tame it and redistribute the money, inequalities increase. It’s mathematical.

The technology required to make a modern computer is, to say the least, not easily accessible. There are very few places we’re chips are made. A handful on the planet. I mean in large quantities.

Otherwise you have laboratories mostly that have the tools to make the chips.

It is technically possible to make a free computer. But it will be much more expensive and much worse. So why bother?

Under capitalism the rich will get richer, and the poor poorer. That’s the whole point of it. Guillotines are a solution to get UBI.

I wish your fear were justified! I’ll praise anything that can kill work.

Hallas, we’re not here yet. Current AI is a glorified search engine. The problem it will have is that most code today is unmaintainable garbage. So AI can only do this for now : unmaintainable garbage.

First the software industry needs to properly industrialise itself. Then there will be code to copy and reuse.

That’s plain wrong. That’s not honest, that’s elitist at best.

No user ever installed windows. So the whole installation and driver thing is a dishonest question.

Even for gaming on a custom PC, just take an amd card and games on steam, it’ll run smoothly.

Browsing Internet and desktop? Works fine on Linux. Fuck office, you don’t need it.

If you need a computer for a specific software, that’s a different matter. But presenting it like everyone is concerned is dishonest.

The security paragraph is complete nonsense. And obnoxiously rebooting is a major hindrance for most people, and it’s not avoidable without the professional licence.

It’s not 2010 anymore.

The average user doesn’t install windows. I used to get paid when I was a kid to install windows in my village.

I wasn’t clear I think but I meant that they certainly have data about the migration to Linux.

French gendarmerie moved to Linux like a decade ago. They certainly have something about it.

You do not. Or we have a different definition for owning.

This is the perfect comparison!
