It comes down to what a person needs to do, what they may need to do, their comfort level with learning, what they’re used to, and any other requirements.
Average person I’m not putting on Linux of any flavor. But someone asks me for a special use-case (e.g. old laptop), or expresses interest in doing something beyond average user things (like some form of self-hosting) then I may suggest a Linux distro.
To be fair back in the early days of Mac vs Windows 3.X, “It just works” had a lot more relevance.
For the average user, it did just work more than Windows. Though I crashed Macs as much as I did Windows boxes back then.
I appreciate what Apple was trying to do despite their approach. Finding anything in the UI beyond the basics was painful (intuitive my ass).
But after NT4 (and especially Win2k), that difference was gone.
RCS is hardware-bound garbage.
Except that’s not what 99% of the punditorium espouses - for the last 15 years it’s been a continuous litany of “intermittent fasting is THE answer”, and anyone disagreeing is roundly condemned.
Despite 80 years of diabetes research that contradicts much of the argument for fasting.
To add, you could always capture via the output video too, regardless of the DRM nonsense. Once it leaves the device in a format a display can present it, any device that can utilize that signal can record it.
There’s always a million ways to skin the cat.
Only enough to make the average user comply.
Again, enough friction.
Fine, fine, good shower thought. Simple. Concise.
Upvote applied.
Don’t go to a dealership for gods sake - they will rake you over the coals.
We don’t call them stealerships for no reason.
Ah, yes, resort to name calling when you’re called out on being disingenuous.
How old are you again?
But it wouldn’t be as entertaining!
Ads were a big source of malware around 2000.
The guts it took to do that. Anything could have gone wrong.
Yes, extensive testing was done, lots of planning and safety to ensure nothing went wrong.
Must’ve been an incredible feeling too. I remember it being a big deal at the time.
I finally checked out the etymology of armor/armour.
Somehow, only British English spells it “armour”. Even the original French doesn’t spell it that way, but “armeure”.
Usually the atypical spelling is post-Webster American, due to his attempts to make spelling simpler.
In this case, no spellings match the original French/Latin.

Such a great point.
I’ve refused to use software that require things like Discord or Telegram for support.
Use a proper tool on your website.
No, that’s not how it works at all.
I had no idea it tasted “soapy” to some people until I was… Older. Like multiple decades in age.
Then I only found out from a friend who’d become one helluva cook and he told me it tastes like soap to him - and that’s how it is for some people.
O, wow, ViewMaxx… I had completely forgotten that.
Sure would like to get a collection of this stuff and run in a VM just for fun.
HP had an internal system just to make a simple GUI in DOS, forget what it was called. Just gave you buttons for a dozen programs.
I am a meat popsicle
Embrace and extend.
Or in the conversational sense - agree and escalate to absurdity.
“I know, right? Its the craziest thing that we never talk. Not sure how that happens since we see each other all the time, totally weird. Hey, have you tried these chips? They’re fantastic” and walk them over to something new.
But say it completely genuinely, like you two are in on something together, like it really happens that way.
What you want is to be seen by everyone as being good natured about it, and just having fun. You’re also taking charge of the frame, and changing it.
“Crisis”
How do we know this rag has nothing of value to publish? By pulling out this story every Olympics since about 1990.
It’s pretty much Graphene and Lineage now.
