Laprodic posture like that ain’t good for most people.

People in the comments here not getting that it would be up to anyone who prevails in the coup to enforce/determine.

Yes, people do wander towards Idiocracy. Don’t mistake my pointing that out as advocating for it. I’m just explaining my view of why some claim Linux “isn’t ready”.

One solution would be to have GUI and console options. So people who want to learn more about console commands can.

A deep OS allows for that. But right now the topic is; what do the masses interpret as “Ready” in an OS.

Opinions don’t have citations, they’re opinions. That’s why you didn’t include citations for yours either.

Would you agree that if you need to use the Registry Editor, Windows isn’t ready for mass adoption?

No, because this statement shifts the goal posts. I specified a time frame in what I said (first three months), now you’ve dissolved that requirement. But also, RegEdit does have a graphic interface (all be it a bad one) so doesn’t fit the idea that people equate console commands with unfinishedness.

So no, I disagree. To many users I think even a bad UI beats “oh no, blank window I have to know what to type!”…

… it’s the fear of not being smart enough or not knowing what to type. People want the answers to just come to them, or be intuitive.

Somewhere a Gen-Z or Gen Alpha is reading this on a tablet and has no idea why anyone owns a computer - they’re thinking “Computers are dumb, because they’re just large outdated clunky looking tablets”

…and somewhere in the past there was probably an old man, angry at the fact that modern keyboards will never match the elegance and typing skills found by using a type writer. Lamenting that people have lost their mechanical understanding of things because they’ve never had to replace a ribbon when it’s lost its ability to pick up or put down ink as it should.

You’re standing between these two arguments (thinking you’re correct)… when the arguments (and ones like them) stretch all the way back in time to the first technoologies, and all the way forwards into the future, to the last of them, or as far as the mind can see.

Most people’s measure of whether it’s ready is “How soon until I have to type into a console to get something done”.

If it’s within the first three months - then it’s not ready.

Trump’s approval rating us TOO DAMN HIGH!

Headline reads like the voice over of a 90s comedy movie.

Needs more motion lines.

They don’t work hard enough to get rid of thar crappy CEO who keeps selling our data is what happens there.

Ha, they misspelled iconic.

Been saying this was part of their plan for a long time. Expropriate money from the government after getting around the ability to track it.

Crash the market.

Buy up big when it’s crashed.

The United States Agency of International Development… Is also a big part of how the CIA pays for the maintenance of the American world order overseas, which benefits America, and goes against the interests of places like Russia, and China.

From Wikipedia:

U.S. national interests

Congress appropriates exceptional financial assistance to allies to support U.S. geopolitical interests, mainly in the form of “Economic Support Funds” (ESF). USAID is called on to administer the bulk (90%) of ESF[67] and is instructed: “To the maximum extent feasible, [to] provide [ESF] assistance … consistent with the policy directions, purposes, and programs of [development assistance].”[68]

Basically that’s jargon for, we do CIA stuff to maintain US interests. Gotta fund protestors in Russia or Iran? The money is probably going through USAID. Rebels in Chad? That’ll be USAID money. Fund Israeli scouts to patrol the oil rich Golan Heights in Syria? CIA to USAID to Israel.

Without USAID America’s ability to effect events overseas will be diminished, allowing other players a greater amount of influence, for their global interests.

Shorter name.

Looks more like a .midi file.

Frank is both.

Is that her Husband in a disguise?

Bye America.

I gather Trump is cutting costs and plunging the economy to close up shop. So good luck with your individual states, the loose federations, and the Robber Billionaires.

Maybe because Elon lost 30 billion by harassing Carlos Slim, lost $22 billionaire alone in StarLink contracts… So is this him being paid for use of his name in the process of harassing other countries?

Still, I suppose they’re embezzling a lot more than they’re saying.

So you’re saying approach from the back when out of range?
