They are not exempt from guilt, but the that is not the point. The point is that this is not just yet another example of random police brutality and abuse of their powers. This is oligarch dictated suppression of dissidents.
It is different and much more serious than just “cops being abusive assholes”.
Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.
So you have no idea which OS you are running? Well, that’s certainly a choice.
If you stop in the middle of a highway you absolutely are at fault.
The US election system is stupid, antiquated and corrupt. As long as it isn’t reformed (of which it itself prevents ever happening), the lesser evil is all you will ever get from that system.
Have you ever been to a tankie instance here on lemmy? You should try and broaden your horizons, because it sounds like you are arguing from ignorance.
“I’ve been told this [obviously made up strawman]. So which is it, the [obviously made up strawman] or the other thing?”
Hmm, difficult choice there, buddy.
No, but they are prohibitively expensive. Just like hdds will be.
The headline in the OP is clearly wrong. But you want to be lied to because it provides an optimistic message? That seems even more bootlicking than the strawman you presented in your comment.
That one-third of the population who gets to choose who rules the entire country.
It is almost as if one of those two things is wildly intrusive and affects everything on this Earth for a number of different reasons, and the other is just a food item.
It will be really interesting to see the figures at the end of 2026, when Windows 10 has truly reached end of life, and a whole bunch of people are going to be forced to choose.
I switched to Linux in December, and it was a remarkable feeling. I don’t think I had really noticed how oppressive or depressive Windows had become (and I hadn’t even switched to Win 11, just using win 10), or how much I was actually personally affected by, but that feeling of suddenly being free when I booted up my linux was quite surprising and exhilarating.
It was like a massive weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.
Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).
Switched to CachyOS in December, so I guess I’m part of that statistic.
I was also part of the December Steam Hardware Survey statistic, but that was before I switched. So the December survey has an artificially inflated Windows statistic by at least 1 user.
It’s going to be massively worse in Windows 12. There is no going back for them.
It wasn’t. A lot of the copy protection was the game asking for the word on a particular page and line in the manual. When you pirated the game (which was easy, since it was literally just copying the disk to another disk), you photocopied the manual as well. Or rather photocopied the photocopy of the manual, I didn’t see a lot of original games for the PC and Commodore 64 back in the 80s, but I sure had hundreds if not thousands of games.
I guess the colour thing was probably a method of circumventing the photocopier, because colour photocopiers were not really generally available back then.
Perhaps if we were just talking Teslas in general, but the cybertruck? I can’t imagine any non-assholes buying and driving those. That thing is a statement, a fascist “own-the-libs” statement in particular.
