  • People be misinforming way more than AI itself

    Exactly. They love/hate xy so much, they just Start saying the most uninformed stuff.

    For example „Linux is great because every Supercomputer runs on it”. I have so many arguments how this is an utter nonsensical argument ,starting with „so you think every computer on this world uses pretty much unique Hardware which only works with software written for itself and therefore requires a tailored costum Linux kernel?” and ending with „So most enterprise businesses use windows 7 to this day, so its the best OS ever right?”

    Not that I amost die of too high blood pressure every single time I have to use a windows machine, but these kinds of arguments are just nonsensical and don’t help anyone who’s just hearing about linux




  • If you only need iTunes for your iPod, there is a music manager alternative on Linux, its a GNOME app but I dont know the Name

    For old games Theres ScummVM, and if its the DRM that wont work you might as well just pirate it, since you own the games anyway

    Also I meant about 80% of all users, who only use it to browse the web and use some simple things like image viewers and stuff. For those people, Linux would be more than enough, if not even better because most software is OSS, but most of them just don’t want to learn how a computer works, and instead just opt for the method I just described



  • Would mainstream users benefit from having Linux pre-installed on their laptops?

    Installing Linux is the easiest part of switching to Linux. If Linux was 100% the same as Windows in terms of user experience, everyone would have switched to Linux by now

    The problem is that people nowadays are just as tech incompetent as they were when the first computer came out. Instead of having a basic understanding of how to use a computer, they just memorize where do click in order to Start application x and do thing y. So the Moment you just slightly alter the workflow, they just lock up. Next time you are at a normie friends house, just try and put a link from their desktop into a folder with the same Name. I will bet my ass they will lock up the Moment the icon of that link has changed.

    Well, but Isaak was believing that after he talked to Dr mercer, or am I wrong?

    I mean, he brought the marker back to the planet, which should be what the marker wanted, so why were they still attacking him?

    But also, from another perspective, they have set up this twist perfectly. I mean, first of all its pretty logical: everything all right --> marker removed --> everything going to shit, so everything all right <-- marker brought back <-- everything going to shit

    This, the betrayal, and Dr mercer being one of the people studying the marker in the first place (and Isaak’s girlfriend actually being able to interact with things, and the necros attacking her) have really convinced me that bringing it back was the right thing to do, and the necros not attacking all of a sudden would have been way too obvious

    Edit: Wait, is mercer the guy developing the invincible necromorphs, or is he the one helping you bring the marker?












  • for the average user.

    So we are talking about an average user, who

    • fully understands the appeal of a degoogled Phone
    • Willingly spends extra money for a fairphone
    • is able to migrate away from google services to /e/'s services
    • Is willing and able to troubleshoot any problems that MicroG has
    • is willing to fix not working banking apps
    • but somehow can’t use a simple web installer from Calyx

    Tell me, is this average user in the room with us right now?

    Everything works out of the boy.

    So does (and does not) with Calix or Graphene

    Buy a Pixel.

    I think you don’t get what I’m talking about.

    -It takes a base level of understanding why you would buy a Fairphone (or any degoogled phone)

    • it takes a base level of understanding phones to be able to use a degoogled one
    • If you already have that knowledge, you might as well just take an extra 5 minutes and use the web installer for calyx since it is literally the same AND has less vendor lockin than /e/

    Edit: You want an average user friendly ROM? Just use Lineage for gods sake.
