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?

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.

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.

Software development is never profitable?

Hating kids is badass if you are a kid.

I assumed it was just because he’s smart and thinks well on his feet. Most rebels are probably angry and dumb teenagers and early 20s. And he owns a ship and already has helped rescue the princess. He’s basically already a war hero.

Is anyone up for starting a non religious Amish society?

Poverty

This isn’t even a slippery slope towards that though. This is all about consumer choice, privacy, and stopping a few companies from skimming 30% of the top of all digital sales.

We’re in a very tough spot. There are more humans alive today than have ever died. We want to keep everyone alive for obvious reasons and that means we’re going through resources fast. All the solutions are not pleasant. We need to choose a path:

1.live a more austere life and cut down on luxuries drastically for everyone. 2. Use the government to limit childbirth

Both are extremely unpleasant, but it’s going to need to happen or else nature will force both options in us and also add massive amounts of death.

But the numbers don’t lie. It is an almost uniquely Muslim phenomenon. It doesn’t matter where the Muslims come from.

I would like to see these numbers that show that it doesn’t matter where the Muslims come from.

You’re acting as a pawn for the wealthy ruling class when you think like that.
