Linux is like mechanical keyboards once you use it once theres no going back
Once you’re hooked to Linux there is no going back lol
Clearly.
It works on so many levels because there is a non-trivial amount of Linux elitists who are just as insufferable as Katy Perry!
that was literally me yesterday when i had to backup my wifes windows pc. maybe i can get her to switch on her old pc when support runs out…
So people most familiar with a system have an affinity to it? Colour me shocked. I expect Windows users would want to return to Windows for their own reasons.
I’ve been a Linux user since the laptop I bought with Windows Me (Millennium Edition) crashed & burned. Someone smarter than me with computers got Windows 2000 working on that PC for about a week before the blue screen of death reappeared. I replaced that PC with one of those cheap ePCs that sold for $200-300, and came with either Windows XP or XanderOS (Linux). I went with Xander OS, opened a terminal, did a little typing, and ended up with a really nice netbook. I’ve been with Linux since, mostly Ubuntu and Mint, but also a short toe dip into Kali.
It concerns me a but, all the reading I’m doing here with regard to so many people talking to switching to Linux…a few years ago, I read like 2% of Americans used Linux, and that it wasn’t much of a hacking target, because there wasn’t much in low hanging fruit. I’m a bit concerned with the seemingly growing popularity now, though.
It’s growing popularity here, where people praise it constantly. If the average person gets sick of Microsoft’s shit they’re probably just going to Mac.
Work “upgraded” me to Windows 11 today. So fun learning how to do the same thing as always but with a much shittier workflow.
Me when I bought a new laptop
I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right
Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD. I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD. Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux
Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux
I mean, Fusion 360 even runs in a web browser (although it was unusably slow for me). It should be possible to port it to the Linux desktop.
Have you tried to run it on Wine?
Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux
Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams “add non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.
Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.
People to some point have gotten fusion working in a half baked state. Bottles has an installer for it. But all the mini windows float over windows regardless of tab. And gpu acell doesnt work for the most part. I wish it did work because i very easily could switch to linux at work but fusion 360 is the bread and butter of my job. (Yes ive tried freecad, i find it hard to use compared to fusion)
Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽
Its like asking would you rather be hit in the knee with lead pipe or a baseball bat. At least on the business side, you have macbooks that can run fusion 360 that are uber expensive and the hardware is soon obsolete. Or windows with adware and enshitafaction. I really hope large software companys pull there heads out of there ass’s. I do alot of laser cutting in my free time and it hurt when lightburn (a commercial product and great software) supported linux. I installed rocky linux and installed lightburn and havent had to deal with it since. They gave it the axe because they were remaking the software and linux wasnt large enough for development.
Which really sucks, im forever stuck on version 1.7 as its the last lightburn version. I wish autodesk would just make a native linux version! I love purpose built software, have a watch, it tells the time. Have a thin client that runs the laser. Any they all do it so well, i know the opensource community is working really hard for freeCAD. But coming from fusion 360 is such a steep curve from workflows. I wish there was a better modeler for FOSS.
And i feel like the demand will grow, i mean windows 10 is EOL soon. And i have converted 4 people from windows to linux. I spend some more time teaching them about its underworkings and how to fix things. I feel that 4 more to the pile of linux users will be good for the long term.
Windows 10 was still okay, Win 11 is unbearable
It’s because Microsoft was trying to steal mac’s shine.
I hate everything about this stupid propaganda/publicity stunt.
I would have said the same thing until I saw this new meme format.
I’m not gonna pretend that the billions squandered and the environmental damage was worth the meme, but those are sunk costs so at least we get this out of it?
We take what we can get, and keep going.
What was it?
I wasn’t sure which article to link, there are many opinion articles with their own takes on it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Origin_NS-31
Here’s the Wikipedia
Better section:
Some rich fucks went to “space” for a couple minutes in another rich fucks giant penis enlarger.
Best summation EVER!
[email protected] has a pretty good one too.
Even a better summation than this? 😸
pointless summation, that just simplifies to
n(n+1)/2:PNice! I don’t actually knows maths! 😆 Is there a better summation out there?? I gotta know.
I think this is a good one. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem
Basically, series of 1/n^2 sums up to 6 / pi^2.
Or -1/12 if we take the limit as n approaches infinity!
They took a bunch of rich women, dressed them up in objectifying skintight suits, then flew them to space for 10 minutes in a glorified plane ride on the second richest guy’s dick shaped rocket. And we’re supposed to be “inspired”, meanwhile women who are actual rocket scientists and astronauts are being erased and removed from NASA’s web site because “woke dei” or whatever.
Thats it, nobody can do anything now because the US voted for an fat orange turd after running their finances in the worst way they possibly could for the last 50 years?
Funny thing is, 10 minutes sounds like hyperbole, but after they crossed the line that’s internationally recognized as the edge of space they only spent 3 minutes there before returning.
Wow! A whole 3 minutes! Better kiss the ground to show my appreciation for the Earth!
You’re not fair to the brave astronauts^* that did^* the first^* all woman space^* expedition^* ! It was a whole 11 minutes of a glorified plane ride.
Meanwhile no-one mentioned Valentina Tereshkova, who orbited Earth 48 times on her own back in 1963. Sigh.
Back to work today. Signed into my windows machine. Had to agree to 3 privacy policies to read my emails/use Edge.
Have the XKCD as a wallpaper to remind me of ‘home’.
You could redo that XKCD but with windows today…
Me when I returned to gaming on Linux after Proton and Lutris dropped (no more fiddling with Wine prefixes and such 😅)
🙌
So… When it was easy for you. Good job biting the hands that fed.
biting the hands that fed
That’s not how that saying works, dawg
Why not?
Did she really do that? I’m flabbergasted she brought a pamphlet for her upcoming tour and a little flower to hold in front of the camera. This is the first and possibly last time you’re going to space, Katy. How vain do you have to be to be holding things in front of a camera? I would be glued to the windows and savoring the sensation of weightlessness.
There may not come another time where she’s in all the news, worldwide. Gotta use every second to promote the upcoming tour with that amount of exposition, i guess.
When you’re convinced that the world revolves around you, you probably won’t have much appreciation for the universe.
She did it and so did Gale King. The only good thing about this whole narcissistic, class-based, photo op ordeal was this meme. The best part is that they trained together for what, 8 months? They spend almost 3 minutes of their 4 minutes in space taking selfies of each other and playing with their devices. I guess they got their $100k a piece worth of PR.
they trained for 8 months? doubt
