If the CEO is in charge of a technology based company, yeah…it does.

“Tim Cook steps down from role”

“THATS NOT A TECHNOLOGY STORY!!!”

See how that comes off?

Canada is lovely nice cozy not hostile this time of year! I mean, it’s a frozen tundra, but you won’t be pulled out of your car and killed by secret police looking for people they don’t like.

I was just trying to answer that at the fundamental level there has to be someone trusted to verify your info

Why?

Why does there need to be age verification at all?

We’ve had computera since the 1940s, and never needed this. We’ve had the internet since the 1990s and never needed this.

Now that a pedophile is in the white house, and an entire network of pedophile politicians have been revealed, NOW they want to protect the children???

And you honestly believe that?

No no no. Punch trees, craft wooden tools, kill skellitons. Touch bonemeal to grass. Punch grass, get seeds. Then graft a hoe, till the land next to water, use the seeds to grow wheat.

I think you’re playing minecraft wrong my guy!

Um…what?

Is this why you hate the internet?

That sounds cold.

I’m pissing in the rain, just pissing in the rain! What a wonderful feeling, when I shut off my brain!

Gonna getcha! Gonna tickle your granny! Goochi goochi goo!!!

I prefer the dark. Can we innitiate darkness savings time? I want it pitch black by noon.

The consumer market will care. They’ll just be priced so far out of the market, it’ll be unrealistic of them to ever hope to buy one.

Hey I’m grump!

I’m not so gruuuump!

And we’re the artifically intelligent poor mans recreation of the game grumps!

Hey Dan.

Yes Arin?

I am the boy of video games. I am made of win! Check out my 12 fingers!

Wow Arin! That’s cool! I have 45 lbs of afro!

This car…just like people in general society right now. Barely holding it together, and the people in charge realize you’re on the verge of a breakdown. They just don’t care to fix the problems.

I still don’t know.

I might be part of the problem. I bought a PS5 years ago, thinking GTA6 was close to being released.

Turns out no.

But what I’ve discovered is that with how the gaming industry has gone, I don’t see any need to buy games anymore.

I’m sick of games being an online focused experience, which requires subscription costs.

I’m sick of every game needing a multiple deluxe collectors editions that are the only way to play the full game, but cost $200 each and come with cheap plastic junk “collectables” to justify the cost.

“But you won’t get the super rare coin and lapel pin if you don’t get the collectors edition!”

“Thats fine. Just sell me the full game at $60.”

“The full game requires the collectors edition. But it comes with this lapen pin and rare coin!”

“How many copies of the collectors edition are there?”

“About 2 million.”

“So, not exactly rare, is it?”

Because the guys in both pics weren’t even born when you graduated high school? Ah, who am I kidding? You didn’t graduate high school. You were sent straight to the mines at 12.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Stop…PLEASE!!! …i can only get SO erect!

Welp. Certainly can’t argue with any of that. I’ve said the same thing myself on many of your points.

Let me get this straight. When you think of the “linux experience”, you think of refridgerators, air fryers, and vacumes. Your words. That’s your mental image of Linux.

While at the same time discrediting the desktop experience as “a tiny specific section of computer hardware”.

Now personally, I think Android SHOULD be counted as Linux. I’ve even asked why there isn’t a Linux distro that’s just Android for the PC. However, whenever I ask that question, instead of anyone answering legitimately, I get told that’s not what Linux is.

And the sad thing is, I think that would BLOSSOM the Linux userbase on PC. The power supply on my PC died a month ago, and before I found a bandaid solution, I was using my phone in dex mode for two weeks. It was a flawed but decent experience. The type of experience that would be a lot better if it were more common. But it’s not. People just don’t use their phones as PC replacements like I did for 2 weeks.

So me reading your reply, it’s obvious to me that everything you’re saying is a strawman arguement. What’s not obvious is if YOU realize how much of a strawmans arguement it is.

Seriously. You used air conditioners to justify numbers of Linux marketshare. Hang on. I gotta do some photo editing. Let me go grab the dehumidifier and run GIMP on it!
