It is certainly more like Linux than say, Windows.
It is, but IME a lot of software needs architectural changes to work on it, similar to when you're trying to build software for Windows in cygwin. That's one reason I decided it wasn't worth the hassle back when I was running it.
When it comes to being allowed to do what you want with your computer, it's a lot more like Windows than it is like Linux. And it's been getting worse.
But it is also generally more secure, outside of its obscurity
This is a fantasy not substantiated by evidence. Heartbleed--a Linux vulnerability in an open source library--was lying in plain sight for years before some hacker discovered it, and it was exploited in the wild for years before anybody discovered the attack.
Now tell us how many similar bugs are in Windows, and will be found even without the obscurity of closed source. You don't know, because you depend on Microsoft to tell you when they fuck up, but you're declaring this a victory for Microsoft anyway? Do fucking tell.
Linux desktop with 16 Mb RAM was possible in the 90s
No, 2MB was never enough for a Linux desktop. I had 8MB on my 386 and it was only just sufficient.
Recent graduates tend to be stuck with hourly food service and retail jobs. These tend to treat availability outside 9 to 5 as a condition for hiring, not to be doable from home, and not to pay enough for a taxi. Even a cyclist needs a backup during bad weather.
If someone happens not to have this privilege, then how would they go about traveling to or from work at night or on Sundays, when all the bus drivers are at home with their families? (Source: Citilink in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA)
I imagine that most gamers are unwilling to pay for business-class service if business-class service is the only "real" service offered at their home address.
I noticed the new option to do an in-review hardware survey and post the results with your game review is currently broken in my Linux client. I wonder if similar bugs with the main hardware survey could be affecting these swings in the Linux usage stats.
It's more like a battered wife. Most of them are suffering from his actions, and they just keep coming back for more. "But he really loves me..."
Marjorie Taylor Greene compared herself to a battered wife during her exit speech. I guess she's the one who found some trace of inner strength and self-respect and filed for divorce. (Imagine getting shown up by MTG...)
I said the same thing 30 years ago before AI was even in the movies.
30 years ago was 1926?
My solar panels were made in Singapore. Besides China the top producers are Vietnam, Malaysia, and India. They are also made in a host of other countries including Canada. China makes over 80% of the world's supply, though.
I still don't understand why any SBC application that is not emulating classic videogames needs more than 4 GB, let alone 8 GB.
A lot of people are using raspis as workstations, with any heavy lifting being done elsewhere. They are perfectly adequate for most normal daily tasks, silent, and use very little power. There's a lot to like about them, they're just overpriced for what little you're getting. If you didn't have to pay extra for basic features like an M.2 slot maybe they would be worth it. After you pay for a case, power supply (and they are picky as fuck about that) and so on, you're not saving any money compared to buying a MiniPC with better support and a richer set of available software. Raspi only has good vendor support compared to other poorly supported SBCs, all the heavy lifting is done by the community which often has to work around the pi foundation's failures.
In California, it's illegal to do this. We call it a speed trap, even though that already means something — cop hiding in some shitty spot where the speed limit suddenly and unexpectedly drops or whatever. I got busted with one of these in Jackson City, TX, a trivial little carbuncle on the asshole of a slightly shortcut route to Austin if you're heading East on the I-10, with a stop sign completely enveloped in a fucking tree that probably produces 50% of that shithole's revenue.
*ahem*
Anyhoo this CO scheme wouldn't be legal here in CA. And we'd also make a city cut a tree back if they wanted to keep writing speeding tickets based on a sign inside of the fucker.
To be fair, the US didn't start the war, Israel did.
To be fair, this is why we founded the nation of Israel in the British partition of Palestine.
How are you going to host a game server on a home computer if you share your IPv4 address with other subscribers to the same ISP in the same neighborhood,[1] and the combined modem and router that your home ISP requires all subscribers to use lacks an option for port forwarding? Both of these are true, for example, of T-Mobile US Home Internet.
[1] Many home ISPs apply carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT) to conserve IPv4 addresses since the worldwide exhaustion.
