How is learning C++ and QT not programming?

While this is true, learning some kind of programming - shell scripting or BASIC in olden days - is a very useful endeavor.

And learning sewing is useful, but I dont need it to wear clothes.

Pretty sure those are all things that Musk stands for.

The cybertruck is the pinnacle of funding for his shitty views.

All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.

Yeah, you are already running Windows.

If you still consider Windows Update malware then you completely missed the other 90% of your hostile environment.

Its odd to call Windows Update “Malware”.

If Canonical folded, someone else could come along and reinvent everything on the server side. And that makes it Open Source?

Explain how this distinction matters in the real world?

Snap distribution is as much a part of snaps as Snapd.

Who cares that part of it is open source if other parts aren’t?

You might not.

My headphones have a USB c port and connects at USB 2 speeds.

Does the Series S support USB controllers? Could you not use one of those knock off USB PS controllers?

Oh gotcha. You mean before it went Dual Shock 3? Sorry I thought you were referring to the multiple iterations the PS1 had.

Advantage over Dual Shock 2 was that it was wireless, and I do appreciate that, but I completely agree that PlayStation layout is great.

I do like the Dual Shock 4 when on the computer, as the little touchpad on the front helps with SteamOS when dealing with shitty interfaces for 3rd Party Launchers that demand a mouse and keyboard.

If I didn’t encounter them occasionally then Dual Shock 3 all the way as I dont normally need any of the other “features”.

I’m not sure what you are referring to here. The Dual Shock 2 was the standard PS2 controller throughout its lifetime.

Do you mean the OG PlayStation, which had the standard controller, then the dual analogue stick, and finally the Dual Shock with the two analogue sticks plus rumble?

I liked the analogue sticks, loved Katamari. Rumble didn’t add enough.

And you can do it on mobile too.

Fuck off. They paid to remove support for Linux from Rocket League because their launcher doesn’t support it.

Existing games that had Linux support already.

Linux support.

No. OpenReach is a shit show, with shills all claiming that BT doesn’t get preferential treatment whilst everyone I know has at least one anecdote where OpenReach gave preferential treatment to BT. After a while the strench of uncompetitive practice is unavoidable, and they are getting rings rum around them by the alt-nets. OpenReach is a bad example.

Infrastructure that is a natural monopoly needs to be spun out into a separate company, or government entity that’s untouchable from the consumer facing sellers, not just an “untouchable other department”.

Are they dependent?

All I see is Google throwing a fuck tonne of money at them, and Mozilla spaffing it on pointless crap. They could probably raise more if Google went away, but they could also reduce spend significantly if they didn’t have stupid money get thrown at them.

Its like giving your kids $100 a day. Sure they could blow it on pay to win games, but what would happen if you reduced it to $10 a day? Probably nothing of note, just less spending on crap.

Why does flying into a concert become a requirement?

Surely entering another sovereign nation and killing and raping the civilians, like Russia is doing to Ukraine, or Israel did to Palestine in 1948, or Israel did again in 1980 is sufficient?

In fact, why does it need to be another country? Armed groups that attempt a coup, such as what happened in Brazil in Februrary 2023, or the US in Jan 2021 should be treated as hostiles. Since he supported it, and has sexually assaulted people, I think Trump falls into your definition.

I don’t think I’m confused with your position, I was just wanting to clarify, because it sounds like we are all in agreement.

So you think we should start exterminating all those Christian Republicans?

Trump claims to be Christian, and advocates for violence. I suppose you think he should be first?

I like your thinking.
