I’m not being aggressive, but your statement just makes no sense?

Either people pick the default and it’s mostly edge/safari, which as per your own statcounter source is clearly not the case. Or people are not as dumb as you make them out to be and pick the one that suits them.

The prompt was “I had chances to peek into some of my friends’ laptop and was surprised how many of them are using Edge”. Not “I did a survey of the entire world and Edge dominated”

How is this even relevant? If you make a statement about people in general, it doesn’t matter which people specifically are mentioned.

But thanks for the humoring!

So how do you explain the chrome dominance? Did I miss something and the dominant os is chrome os this last decade ?

What’s the point, don’t ads pay per impression? Are there actually more than 5 people still using stackoverflow? I can’t see how this would make them any money.

If they want in a customs union with the EU. they can join the EAA. No need to treat them like they are anything special.

I always found that to be a cheap cop-out. It’s your vote, so your responsibility to check the information you get. If you’re not willing to do that, you shouldn’t be voting.

Personally I rather they don’t bother. I don’t feel like hearing their dumb bitching and whining again for years to come. They wanted out, so stay out. We’ll talk again in 30 years.or so.

Even if there was an one click solution, most people still won’t use it. I mean installing Firefox and ad-block is really only like 4 simple steps already. I’ve had the exact same situation happen a few times already But nope, they rather watch and waste a lot of time on all those ads on YouTube than listen to me for 10 seconds.

I never really worked much with rpm-ostree, besides a short stint with Bazzite. But never really customized it, so I don’t really know how that experience is. But I would encourage you to look into NixOS (or something else not image based) whenever you feel to experiment with another immutable. It’s very nice for servers.

You don’t have to reboot to adjust configuration or update. At least not with NixOS, don’t know much about other immutables.

Why not an immutable OS for servers? It seems like an even better choice for servers than for a desktop to me. It’s basically just like docker/containers but for your whole OS, configuration-wise.

I love my declarative NixOS servers/systems, and would never go back to imperative setups, it just seems archaic. The only exception I have (for now) is my pfSense router, as I don’t trust myself enough to setup a secure router.

Well yes, that data source is called stockholders. They eed to ride the hype. Honestly they really don’t have much choice. Either make the users happy or the stockholders. They can’t do both, it’s impossible at this stage. Want to guess which side wins?

I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.

Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.

Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.

Personally I probably wouldn’t advise NixOS to someone new to Linux. I think it’s best to get familiar with how linux does things in a more conventional setup first. And then transition to a declarative setup. But it kinda depends on the person as well, and how willing they are to learn and how comfortable they are with writing such a config.

That said, I would be very curious how the switch straight from Windows to NixOS would be experienced by someone. So if you do so, feel free to post your experience on the NixOS community :)

This is why I stopped using Gnome. After every update most of my extensions stopped working. Some took ages to get up to date or were abandoned. And there was no simple way to enable all extensions that the update disabled, having to manually enable them one by one. Maybe that has changed now? It’s been yearsnow… Not that I would go back anyway, tiling managers is where it’s at.

Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.

Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.

I honestly don’t get why anyone would have bought an Intel in the last 3-4 years. AMD was just better on literally every metric.

I’m mixed on this. If the algorithm is known, big channels would just game it. They still will figure it out now and game, but it might take a bit longer. Just like these days most of timef the top 20 results with Google are completely useless nowadays because it’s either AI slop or pure marketing.

Uh, GeForce Now? Xbox gamepass/cloud? Amazon Luna? Probably more. And if others fail I assume because there isn’t enough demand. (except for stadia, that’s just failed because Google gets a hard on for canceling projects). Now I haven’t bothered with cloud gaming since OnLive. So I don’t know how good any of these are. They probably can be improved on. But to say there are none? Nah.

Maybe. I’m not against the idea. A new form factor could be good… But if it’s just to make it more ‘casual’, imho I find what we have already casual enough.
