I get the sense that a lot of people here don’t use MacOS.

I wish that was true.

I mean, you and I known MS could simply ask…

No.

That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.

they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

I didn’t argue with that.

No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.

Ultimately, most people stay with the default option, that’s why they have to be aggressive. Look at the amount of screenshots even in advanced PC communities with ugly useless search bar enabled, which is taking 1/3 of the taskbar. I’m not even speaking about casual users who have no idea that it can be disabled.

Because there’s no “Germany” in this movement. Different lands, different governments, different offices, etc.

The hate for successful people here is ridiculous. Neither Discord nor its investors owe you a world-class service with private servers, video calls, screen sharing, voice calls, and many other features for free. The market operates on mutual benefit: you get the service, and the owners get the money. Those who complain about businesses aiming to be profitable are lunatics.

Investors, who made Discord possible, want to earn money. It’s totally understandable.

I don’t think that slaughterhouses are illegal.

My boy, who hurt you?

No system is free from vulnerabilities.

it blows my mind that they put so much effort on making apps for Windows and Mac first, leaving Linux behind

Because most people use Windows and Mac, including their clients. It’s not the world that is weird, it’s people who don’t understand such basic things. You don’t focus on 5% of your users.

This graph gives the impression that the total installation number has been multipliés x4 or X5

How so? It goes from ~7 to ~11. That’s not even x2.

I feel like I’m the only one here who is driving a car and not a spaceship. What’s there to interact with while you’re driving? Key multimedia buttons are already on the wheel.

You vs a group of drunk, inadequate people, at night. What can go wrong?

I. Love. This.

Linux is a bunch of code. It doesn’t want anything.

I would never do so now

Oh no… We’ll never recover from this. In Russian we say: “назло маме отморожу уши”. In English that translates to “to spite my mom, I’ll freeze my ears off.” This expression is used to describe a situation where someone does something harmful or foolish to themselves in an attempt to rebel against or annoy someone else, despite the action being against their own best interests.

How do music creators feel about their work potentially being regenerated and used in other’s works?

They can always discuss that with their psychologists! :)
