This meme is 20 years old now, I bet there are kids repeating it who weren’t alive when it was first made and don’t even know where it comes from.

It’s still around, with Oracle humping it’s corpse.

Fewer. Sorry, pet peeve of mine. If you can count the thing, it’s fewer, not less.

It’s its own rant

I sympathise with the state of diabetic sensor apps, but can I just say that it makes me so happy when people understand and use correct grammar.

VIM may have been a very useful tool 20 or 30 years ago, but today it’s nothing else but a tool for one’s sense of superiority. It’s the vinyl of editors.

So, because you don’t understand something, it’s outdated?

If you have to type that much code in a terminal, your infrastructure is outdated. Simple as that.

Ok, I can see you have no idea what you’re talking about.

This is the way.

It’s possible they did. I think Dell briefly discussed it as an option, before using it as leverage to get cheaper Windows licenses from Microsoft. The EEE PC also shipped with its own Linux distro and appropriate hardware drivers.

This was why I said “nearly impossible” :)

Linux is close, but has some core flaws that will forever keep it out of mainstream acceptance by your average user.

It has nothing to do with any flaws within Linux itself. The problem is and has always been that it’s nearly impossible to buy a PC with any flavour of Linux pre-installed. Until that changes, Linux (on home user desktops) will never gain mainstream acceptance.

Maybe it’s anticompetitive conduct by the provider (like Microsoft using its market power on Outlook/Exchange to push other services like Teams over its competition)

That’s exactly what it is. They leveraged their dominance/monopoly in one market to gain a stranglehold on another market. It’s not exactly a new tactic for Microsoft either.

If I were on Tesla’s board, I would be doing my best to get Elon the hell away from the brand.

That’s interesting, what’s so clever or original about its algorithm?
