Is there some reasoning behind that? As far as I know, there are at least some gas chambers in the US. And even if Alabama happens not to have one, it doesn't seem too complicated to build one.

Naa, fam. We have to fight over it. We're on the Internet, after all.

Then think about what that means.

What is holding back users to switch to Linux? Games. For everything else a normal, slightly tech savvy user would want, there's Linux alternatives. Games are the only deal breaker. If the steam deck forces/encourages game publishers to support Linux, that's also a good thing for desktop usage.

Realistically, most companies replace their PCs every few years. So there are probably relatively few machines running in offices that don't meet the requirements.

Well, it hit 4% on desktop for the first time this year.

Then don't hesitate! You could easily install both side by side, in case you need some Windows exclusive software.

I still don't completely get their point, TBH.

And the Nix language seems to be intentionally confusingly close to json.

Unethical experiment, but it would be really interesting to see the effects of mildly higher background radiation like this on humans.

As far as I know, we barely have any data on radiation exposure, and the data we have, is about ingesting caesium or high exposure over a short time.

This sounds more like an attempt to win a rural crowd and play with their "enginear stoopid, farmer smat" sentiment.

I already tried that using virtual machine manager, I can see the "bios screen" and the blinking cursor after "booting from disk", but that's it.

So there is nothing happening, at least vm manager doesn't even register any RAM usage, just one core at 100%.

I wonder, what will happen to mainstream platforms.

If you talk to "regular" people without our background, they often enough don't believe that even astroturfing exists, especially not on "their" platform. So there will inevitably be a large amount of people who are oblivious to the fact, that they're talking to machines and feel like this is the real world. That's scary.

How exactly are you "losing" files?
