Linus did have emotion control issues and was not always completely rational, but he’s gone a long way towards being incredibly responsible to his child that powers the world.

Also, he long understands that Linux ain’t a hobby project, which some programmers still get to think.

Guess they meant “Spain and Portugal themselves”

Essentially every country settled primarily by Europeans or their descendants, except somehow Latin America, Russia and Belarus, and, debatable, a few other European countries :D And potentially including Israel

Using Windows is a true flex on Lemmy

For that, one should test all the software personally.

Of course if you use something with only the old reviews, leave a new one! But the fact is, utility of the service is often dampened due to this fact.

I was under the impression that people in primal tribes just die before this becomes a massive problem

Memory’s a weird subject

Nothing to be ashamed of - the world is too complex to connect everything, and we all miss out on something very simple :)

Somewhat related XKCD

Honestly? I played around with Linux for a long time inside of VM, but then I moved to a new house and got into “a new life” mood. And then I just couldn’t look back on Windows with anything but disgust.

Amazing OSM-based maps app, totally recommend.

And that’s wonderful!

But normies, sadly, do not

There is motivation to do better - inventors are praised and financially rewarded, and those who successfully apply new tech are too.

Sure, an inventor won’t turn billionaire, but he also won’t run a risk of losing it all trying to apply said invention. Market actually scares many off, it’s not simply a land of opportunities.

Not in percentage terms. Yes, you have to put smaller amounts, but they also make a bigger dent in your overall finances because you earn much less, too.

Socialism and planned economy, ban on private enterprises

Not only does it aim to stop neverending inequality shift and enshittification, it also helps to save Earth by putting an end to overproduction and bullshit consumerism

Countering on a 20’s side:

On the other hand, would you be at the same point in life if you would save every penny?

Having savings could greatly help you now, but what if you’d never experience whatever you spent your extra on? Maybe it was something new, or simply something that helped you deal with a compounding stress, or maybe you can simply remember your carefree times with warmth in your heart.

It might not be visible at the first glance, but it is important and it might have changed a lot more that you think in retrospect.

We’re going for a diplomatic victory, too.

Fair enough!

For building vast structures, to me it’s mostly Space Engineers, but that’s another concept too, not exactly “build a gigafactory” type game. Still, building something big and cool it does.

I’m also sad MMOs are rarely first-person. Like, there was Tera, but it died immediately as I first heard of it, which is super unfortunate because it certainly seemed to tick my boxes.

I didn’t play The Talos Principle, but heard about the game. Spent quite a while in both Portal games though - good times.
