Why would they? Ram hasn’t been a problem for more than a decade relating to UI.

Electron apps being 500MB simply isnt a problem. People aren’t loading 15 seperate instances, at most power users are loading like 3.

people don’t hate the mcrib because of propaganda - it’s because it’s low quality pork form pressed into a gross, gristley slab that sort of resembles meat if you squint and don’t look too closely.

The thing is, the reasons you’ve listed aren’t reasons based on personal taste, but what you’ve come to associate with being proper meat. Thats what I’m challenging. The idea of what a savoury, protein filled food item has to be, to be deemed good/welcomed.

If the response was purely that they didn’t like the taste or texture, those, I believe, are completely legitimate and fair. Instead, the responses often boil down to naturalistic fallacies and ideas of what good food is that start from the perspective of what would make the meat industry the most money being pressed into them through ridiculous amounts of lobbying.

I actually quite like it.

This might sound bad to some people, but it reminds me of an old vegetarian meat alternative I used to quite like in texture.

Im constantly baffled by how gotten by propogandists people must be to feel everything has to taste exactly like some known quantity meat they’re already used to.

I think its because ultimately, most linux users either are using linux professionally, and therefore only care about the professional goals they’ve been assigned to completing, or they tend to be rather insufferable (the type to tell new users to enter sudo -rf --no-preserve-root or pretend that the average user both does not need any powerful features, but is also too lazy and stupid to use powerful features, but should still switch to linux to be berated for some reason).

That combines with the biggest thing: That there isn’t the money to go into developing things for linux that there is for mac or windows because the people aren’t there, and the people arent there because linux is basically for snobbish elitists, the fringe of society or professionals, AND has all the problems of that catch 22 in the first place, which further concentrates the worst people being the ambassadors for linux, like the real, felt ambassadors, like what someone actually runs into when trying to switch.

I do think Valve is doing a pretty heavy lift right now, and I am very glad they picked KDE, a DE that focuses on open ended pragmatism.

I gotta be real with you. This comment very much sounds like the delusional super stonk member who think eventually the big system they believe is colluding to fuck them trips up on a technicality and makes them uber rich.

Basically, you’re just imagining a reality that wont exist for so many reasons.

The biggest reason is that the AI GPUs do not use DIMMs largely, and even server dimms (ecc rdimms) won’t fit in your PC.

More than that, by the time anything does happen, technology will have moved on.

If you’re about to say “but I don’t have to”, Id ask you why you arent on a 10 year old computer right now.

The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.

Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.

Its always been a shitty meme aimed at being cruel to new users.

Somehow though people continue to spread the lie that the linux community is nice and welcoming.

Really its a community of professionals, professional elitists, or people who are otherwise so fringe that they demand their os be fringe as well.

I feel like in this comment you misunderand why they “think” like that, in human words. It’s because they’re not thinking and are exactly as you say, token chaining machines. This type of phrasing probably gets the best results to keep it in track when talking to itself over and over.

What part about mentioning 3 specific projects as examples of where Europe is not doing enough makes you think that I am not aware of their efforts?

I am specifically saying those efforts are not enough nor are they soon enough.

Just to be clear, your point and argument, are that I am correct, but I am wrong because exactly as I mentioned, Europe could have done better if they bolstered their defences and prepared?

It feels like you’ve just taken my comment as an attack on Europe, but have no real criticisms of my points.

My statement would be less true, not more true in 2023, because the point is, the longer they go without having done so, the more dire the situation becomes.

Given that Europe has had 4 years to start cranking up its military power and has failed to do so meaningfully, and the US looks like a vassal state of Russia at the moment, I feel this may become an inevitability if Europeans don’t stop bickering about where exactly gets to make what, and starts actually making things, like with the 2 modern fighter projects (as Europe cannot make its own 5th yet alone 6th gen fighters), or the joint European (France and Germany mainly) tank project.

The sentiment that the AI bares any noteworthy responsibility for this is purely anti AI rage, that should be aimed at legitimate problems.

Imagine suing a notebook company for their paper being the paper of choice for selfharming teens?

Imagine suing home depot for selling rope and a stool to someone who has had enough?

Imagine suing nickleback for making music of the quality that encouraged this?

Im saying, we’re all aware this is some bits on a server right? Like this is clearly not a person, doesn’t have the impact of a person, and unless they’ve specifically tuned it to manipulate the impressionable into killing people, these sentiments just don’t make sense.

No. No I did not.

To use only that excerpt and ignore that the primary point was that this was harm reduction vs prior actions is to completely misrepresent the point.

I was clear in that the point was solely about the criticism being in the technology choice, not the foreign policy.

To be so unwilling to see nuance, that you morphed my opinion into something completely different than what I said, and assumed I fit in your favourite political punching bag box is a problem.

Obama has launched more drone strikes than any other Peace-Prize winner in history.

This, of all the things to be critrical of, isnt it (the drone part).

Less invasive, less troops on the ground, more precise strikes than traditional bombings. Things don’t exisr in a vacuums. Drones were a W.

He’s certainly not the most controversial Nobel winner, but his award was embarrassing in the sense that European intelligentsia was congratulating backward America for electing a black President.

This hints something about you that you think it was him being black and not him not being bush after bush, and being charming.

I think the problem is in the value you’re attributing to a reward that is the function of a terrible dead rich guys will.

Sure, but on a platform with this many leftists, it wouldn’t be upvoted if the message communicated wasn’t this. They also almost certainly would not expect it to be a successful comment if this wasn’t their intention as well.

I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.

You are looking way too much

What does this even mean???

it’s just an observation from a minority looking into popular American and international popular culture.

Just this phrasing alone indicates not black, and probably not darker in skin tone, otherwise you’d have mentioned it and well, quite frankly, I feel it is much less likely you’d hold the opinions you currently do.

That’s really not it. Look in the mirror, your insecurities are showing. Just because it is not popular in popular culture does not mean it is niche or insignificant. Reality is not a popularity contest, the only place popularity is important is in regards to general awareness.

What a mess of a self contradicting attempt at an character attack.

That implies that you admit it’s a catch all term now, just that it’s inception has been founded on -

No, no it does not. This is me literally pointing out that when being used in the current context, it was intentionally not a catch all term. That’s literally the entire point of the paragraph you are trying to form a gotcha out of. There is no way for me to read this other than being in obvious bad faith.

True, but irrelevant in regards to why it has become popular

This sentence is paradoxical. How could it be true that its irrelevant when its stated that this is its primary draw and goal? You can’t agree and then disagree with those statements. That just doesn’t make sense. They contradict each other. Admitting the first is true, inherently means that it is very much so relevant to how they “became popular” which you still haven’t addressed the criticism of the weal word usage of by the way.

It came from the people who had a problem with the movements that used the term, but most MAGA members who know the term won’t even know about its history. Hard disagree again.

They wouldn’t need to know its history to know its meaning. You are literally first admitting that its meaning is exactly as I said, contradicting what you’ve already said earlier in this comment, then, arguing a non sequitur in that somehow them being unaware of the full history of the term means that they aren’t using the term with the meaning you’ve already admitted is the meaning they’re using it with.

Literally all of your comment has been so self contradictory to this points its verging on absurd.

I’m starting to believe I am just being trolled by you TheObviousSolution.

But that also meant they made the term woke popular in popular culture as a result.

This is you now recognizing that popular and popular in popular culture aare different after previously standing your case on them being the same.

Who is?

You are. Thats literally been your point. Your point has literally been that “oh they don’t really know what the word means” with constant streams of contradicting statements following that point, which I think you know has always been false.

by just

No, Im not letting you play the “just” game where you pretend what you were actually saying was something different than the clear text exclaimed.

Literally in this very comment right here, you attempt to find a gotcha, where you say that the definition has changed:

That implies that you admit it’s a catch all term now

You said this… right in this comment…

So how does them making the term so popular that it outs them as bigots work into the term being a dog whistle? Because I’m going to have to say, I don’t think you know what the meaning and use of a dog whistles is either if you are claiming this.

This point straight up doesn’t make any sense at all.

1. I called it a fog horn, pointing out the fact that its stretching the limits of what a dog whistle is.

2. Related to one, and a key element of my point, this matters because it literally only works in that folks that have similar opinions to you, think that the definition is now a catch all rather than the extremely blatant and obvious bigotry it is.

I have taken some verbal abuse elsewhere in the thread because this also made someone else insecure. In your case, I would say it is provoking something akin to a hyperimmune response.

This is just an elaborate way of you claiming you’ve “triggered” me, making me pretty certain that you are a troll at this point, but I’ll still leave this comment in the hoptes that at least someone else who reads this gets the logic of why your argument is faulty and helps defend maga members.

Given the clear bad faith, I don’t forsee future responses being useful to anyone past this point though, as I don’t imagine anyone will be reading past this comment anyways.

Oh yeah dude,

Well then I guess our only solution is genocide/mass murder.

Is such a legitimate take worthy of proper criticism and attention.
