First you say it’s a Windows clone, then you concede it isn’t. Make your mind up 🤣

Cinnamon and Plasma are Windows clones. That’s fine if what you want is a Windows clone. I don’t. I want a consistent, good looking DE free of ancient design cruft and free of the shitty Windows workflow.

Nah, only weird losers who want a Windows clone cry about Gnome. WAAAAHHHHHH THIS ISNT LIKE WINDOWS!!! WHERE’S MY TASKBAR 😭😭😭😭

Gnome is treated very well. It’s the most commonly found default amongst distros. Because it’s the most trusted.

Don’t get me started on the absolute bug-fest that Plasma is. Literally unusable. Cinnamon, while a Windows clone, is at least stable. Probably because it’s Gnome-based.

What do you mean it’s not that much higher? It’s well over double the resolution. That’s a lot.

And there’s the other aspects, apple has Micro-OLED panels Vs LCD, virtually zero screen door effect, very very good video passthrough, very low latency on the passthrough. Plus a bunch of other crap.

But it doesn’t really matter, they’re not comparable. The vision pro, to me, seems more like an engineering exercise on Apple’s part, mixed with a Dev kit to put out in developers hands. It’s not meant to compete against a $500 gaming and porn consumption headset.

The vision pro is a cool engineering marvel. But it has no real place in the market for any normal person. Nobody outside of devs banking on future Apple VR should buy it.

I swear the “fuck cars” crew are completely deluded from reality.

A lot of them are, and it’s really annoying.

I want fewer cars on the road too. I want cities without constant traffic and road noise. Not to mention to environmental and health benefits. We need a reduction of cars.

But some people in the “fuck cars” camp are just in their own little bubble. Privileged people who live where public transport is good, they’re healthy and able-bodied enough to cycle, they don’t work overnight where public transport isn’t accessible.

They’re completely separate from reality. Some of us live in isolated communities where a train service obviously won’t ever happen for obvious reasons, and buses aren’t a feasible solution either.

Some of us have mobility requirements and can’t cycle 20 miles to work along a damp, dreary motorway.

bAn aLL cArS is utterly unrealistic for a slew of practical reasons, never mind the politics of a government coming along and saying “hey plebs, we plan on taking your cars away, sucks to be you, right?”

The number 1 priority should be pedestrianisation of city centres and addition of bus links, then taking it from there. Calling car drivers evil while chanting ban cars is just stupid.

The problem with potholes and road damage in the UK isn’t to do with not knowing where potholes are, it’s to do with councils having their central government funding taken away (cough 14 years of Tory rule cough)

Local government funding has been cut to the bone, and roads, paths, community centres, libraries, council housing, homeless shelters, etc have all been paying the price.

Assuming it works, this is still a cool project though.

Lmao, Plasma and Cinnamon are literally Windows clones. Gnome is nothing like it.

Do you see a taskbar at the bottom? A start button? Menu bar? System tray in the bottom right? Clock in the bottom right? Minimise, Maximise, Close at the top right of each Window? Nah. That’s Windows and its clones like Plasma and Cinnamon.

Also fuck off

Aww I huwt the wittle baby’s feewings :‘’(

Yup. Even if Google came out with a really cool service tomorrow that I found far better than alternatives, I still wouldn’t use it, because unless I’m very lucky, it’ll be axed at some point. And Google has only themselves to blame.

I’ll happily shout from the rooftops about my dislike of Apple (their philosophy, faux environmentalism, price-gouging, anti-competitive, anti-repair BS, I could go on for a while), but when was the last time they did this? The fucking Newton? Sure the iPod was axed, but I think it’s fairer to say the market axed MP3 players, rather than Apple axed the iPod.

If Apple announces something, you can be almost certain it’ll still be around in a decade.

Look at Apple Maps. It was an absolute joke when it came out and people mocked and memed it relentlessly.

If Google were in that position, they’d have just scrapped it and moved on to their next project that’d probably be scrapped too.

Fuck Google’s dumb businesses practices, and fuck them for making me say something to Apple’s credit. Makes me feel dirty.

It absolutely does?

Stuffing means cramming something into another thing.

Microsoft is stuffing pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows again

That’s a blatant lie. Nothing is getting injected/stuffed/whatever synonym-ed into Chrome. It’s a Windows popup.

It’s still a textbook abuse of dominant market position, and therefore illegal, so there’s no need for the article to lie and hand MS and their fans the opportunity to dismiss this reporting as being fake news, which it essentially is.

Tesla is certainly making a fair bit of money. Though it only got there because of a shitload of government help, both from the US and elsewhere, and indirect government help, like the government pretty much forcing other automakers to purchase EV credits from Tesla to make their fleet average CO2 numbers lower in order to avoid fines.

Which I’m not 100% against, but then again, Musk constantly complains about government subsidies on various things, while receiving a shitload of government help himself. Same level of hypocrisy as his whole “I’m a free speech absolutist” thing.

E: spelling

Fuck off.

Many, even when offline, will constantly pester you to connect to a network, or will attempt to connect to any open one it finds.

Some have offline, non-targeted ads from factory.

There have recently been trials of Amazon-powered TVs automatically linking to any Echo devices it can find and using it as a bridge to get internet. I’m unsure if that’s something they’re actually going to go ahead with right now though.

I’ve comprehensively dismantled everything you’ve said.

We get it, Gnome makes you cry like a little baby and you want a lousy Windows clone, anything else makes your little Microsoft-gimped brain hurt.

Stick to your Windows with its shit ergonomics lmao. I’ll stick to the best desktop for ergonomics hands-down.

You didn’t reply to the first one because you had no answer. You’re still avoiding it. Sad.

Firstly, who says that’s happening?

And secondly, this isn’t entirely about purity - even if you personally (and I’m not saying this is your view, btw) don’t give the slightest fuck about gay people and you’re fine with them having fewer rights/fine with others actively trying to strip their rights away - others aren’t, and it’s harmful to the business.

Eich was CEO for 11 days and achieved nothing other than a Firefox boycott, dozens of negative Firefox headlines, and Firefox being known as the homophobic browser.

Even from a cold-hearted “fuck human rights, I care only about market share” POV, Eich was still an awful CEO decision.

The list is randomised. Sometimes Safari is first, last, middle.

Mozilla was doing poorly when he was CEO as well. Google has been doing everything they can to force Chrome.

He was CEO for 11 days and in that time all he did was cause a bunch of websites to show a banner requesting that users install a different browser in order to not support a homophobe.

There was also a boatload of articles about his homophobia that brought Mozilla into disrepute.

Arguably soured from the very beginning depending on how much you care about the CEO financially supporting a bill to strip gay people of their right to marry, plus supporting a politician who said that AIDS is good because it cleanses the earth of gay people.

Eh, that’s not true. Yes they run on the same engine, but there can still be different features overlaid on top, plus syncing history/bookmarks with your other devices.

The engine is by far the biggest part of a browser, but it is not the only part of a browser.

Also, EU users will soon have access to “real” different browsers.

Can I ask you a question? Are you stupid? Because you look stupid. I never said AI should be banned. You made that up.

You’re lying. That’s why I called you a liar.

Gnome is the most consistent. That’s an objective, factual statement.

No, you talked about a Windows UX clone. We get it, you want everything to be a Windows clone.

Just more consistent

Lmao

Anyway, there’s such a thing as ergonomics.

Something gnome does very well and Windows and its clones don’t.

Honestly, I don’t know why only Gnome devs seems to care about consistency and ergonomics. It’s maddening.

BTW, about Windows - w2k and xp were very good in terms of ergonomics.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAA

HAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAH

Lol
