Get ready for all the stages of grief at the same time and I’ll warn you.
Most people get stuck on denial and anger.

And you have to be a jerk apparently.

You immediately assumed people needed to have multiple pieces of hardware when some can’t even afford past what their job provides, being able to have a separate and dedicated machine is still privileged.

You got immediately defensive and felt you had to rush to defend the dangerous question because you thought I might have been snarky when asking? What the hell?!

And you are still doing it!

Being rude is asking you to explain why we should have a second device running Linux?

And you wonder why there is an adoption problem with that OS.

No but if you need a windows machine for work then what is the purpose of having a second device running Linux? Like actually.

My point still stands. The topic sure is about Linux and windows 10/11 but I still stand by,
“why have a second device I won’t use, on second hardware I had to buy, that I can’t use cause it doesn’t run my apps optimally?”

Cause that just sounds like I should own one so I can say I have a Linux device for you guys.

You said we should own a non powerful personal Linux machine but didn’t give a reason why? Why should we have an extra device running Linux if we already have the needed windows. Downvote me sure but give logic not personal desires

Right ok… But what’s on the other PC for the linux OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

The end goal seems to be to get everyone to have a Linux PC still even if people can’t use it effectively.

Edit for clarity I don’t get the purpose of the second PC running Linux if you already have the main work PC running windows cause you need it.

You know what’s shocking? I did. I ruined my desktop trying to set it up with some web server functions and wiping it somehow got rid of the license.

And so I paid to get rid of the watermark… boo!

There you go one last scary story for the season.

President Joe Biden created ARPA-H in 2022, as an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, to pursue what he called  “bold, urgent innovation”

I did not see Biden creating a cloning and immortality medical research arm of the government but I guess it’s proof he already knew he was getting old before the debate and no wonder Trump wants back in the white house.

Oh, ew.

Thanks for the correction but also that’s… About right for America and billionaires.

Just allowed in to fuck with people, hack phones, steal money and leave.

So that explains Fox being owned by an Australian then?

Yeah, the people leading the “AGI will save us” are the same as super church pastors.
They don’t believe it, they just want their bank account limitless before they go into oblivion.

I really love how many of the buttons in settings either open an edge web page where Microsoft shrugs at you or just opens the control panel for you to actually get something done…

But hey when I need to turn off transparency effects cause it’s making all my taskbar icons disappear every time I swap desktops the new settings page works great. Sometimes.

God they needed actual competition. Or something.

Just doing my part with the updoots!

Yeah I immediately thought of the funding bar for gold back in the day.

It was honestly fine. Made sense. Showed if they had made enough revenue to cover costs and let you make a personal choice beyond that.

Oh man that’s an idea that if they didn’t have before I bet they do now.

I honestly just see it making them onlyfans v3 and can’t wait to see the backlash from their Christian ad provider and the others.

You know, with charge times like that I wonder if roadside attractions will become more popular again.

Maybe I should start on the next worlds largest rubber band ball now.

Who do you think manufactures basically everything at this point? Even frickin food is being imported from China.

That being said I’d love for American competition, heck I’d just like the Elio I always wanted if it wasn’t for fricking Hummer. And Teslas have been built like garbage for the past couple years now.

It being manufactured in China does not make it a quality issue unless the profit seeking is maxed out. Otherwise it just makes it like everything else being made over there which is it’s own problem.

I mean it sounds like you are exactly living what I am trying to talk about.

Being attached to a rich person and fed money doesn’t make you happy it just makes you wealthy enough to stabilize yourself. People raising to the needed position of lap dog often aren’t even doing it cause they find any pleasure in it but instead have failed to find pleasure in anything they want to do and now need the money to feel anything good about themselves at all.

Being at the whim of the rich is about giving up yourself to be the tool they need and accepting the misery of not being true to oneself.

What people actually need is the freedom that independent wealth allows and a willingness to accept that it might not be exactly to their dreams without dragging others down for more.

Yeah I often think of the rich as large plants given space to grow with an ecosystem the flourishes by growing around its core or in the shade of their influence.

But the pundits seem to cling to the outside barely being allowed anything but kept around because it brings pollinators that the main stalk needs but can’t attract themselves if anyone realized just how uncontrollably they have grown.

It just seems miserable right?
