I’m confused about how any of this can be cloudflares fault. That’s like blaming the electricity supplier because someone is using that electricity to grow weed.

People need a system that is capable of all things, it needs to be able to run games but it also at the same time needs to be able to open the word document your manager has sent you.

If it cannot do both of those things it is not an operating system, it’s a games console. Which is a fun thing to own, but it’s not the same thing as a fully fledged computer. He fully capable operating system is necessary in order to replace a windows system. In order to replace Microsoft it has to do all of the jobs of windows, or else it will never succeed.

I knew a few people who are gay and none of them have felt the need to redecorate their house in incredibly tacky gold leaf.

I mean it kind of is. If I have a gaming focused operating system it still needs to occasionally be able to do all the other computer things otherwise I have to have two computers or dual boot or something. If I had a console I would still need a computer, well the saying this can be all things and we can just switch from windows to this, so it also has to be able to do all of the other stuff too.

He makes Nazis look bad.

But somehow his money will still be extremely relevant.

The billionaires are not going to save us from the billionaires. If we get AGI they absolutely won’t roll it out to the masses, they’ll keep it a secret and just use it within their own businesses.

So steamOS is in fact not an operating system it’s just a program that runs on plasma. Or is steamOS actually an operating system, but just quite a limited one, and you dual boot into plasma.

I’m still bit confused about steamOS, I thought it was supposed to be a full on operating system for gaming centric PCs but it seems to need Plasma in order to do any traditional computer things.

Yeah, it’s called the generic stuff

She’s looking at him and thinking, Oh that’s the reason he’s so bad. Good thing I have the pool boy.

They know this, it’s not like any of this is a revelation. But the company has been lazy and would rather just test in production because that’s cheaper and most of the time perfectly fine.

There are technical solutions to this. You update half your servers, and then if they die you just disconnect them from the network while you fix them and then have your own unaffected servers take up the load. Now yes, this doesn’t get a fixout quickly, but if you update kills your entire system, you’re not going to get the fix out quickly anyway.

I hate it but there really isn’t much in the way of an alternative. Which is why they’re dominant, they’re the only game in town

So I work in the IT department of a pretty large company. One of the things that we do on a regular basis is staged updates, so we’ll get a small number of computers and we’ll update the software on them to the latest version or whatever. Then we leave it for about a week, and if the world doesn’t end we update the software onto the next group and then the next and then the next until everything is upgraded. We don’t just slap it onto production infrastructure and then go to the pub.

But apparently our standards are slightly higher than that of an international organisation who’s whole purpose is cyber security.

Won’t they make more money if they don’t piss everyone off.

Rodriguez doesn’t sound very American™ so maybe he should go. Perhaps they should mess with him and tell him he’s been deported and see what he does.

Why? Who’s asking for this stuff, is there somebody out there who is really pleased with this news or is Microsoft really just that out of touch.

I don’t want to have to start wearing rainbow knee-length socks, but Microsoft are pushing me towards it.

So you’re doing the classic thing of putting the burden of responsibility for your ridiculous claim on to somebody else to disprove. A classic sign of somebody not arguing in good faith.

How can I prove that Wikipedia only lists facts since any evidence that I present, you will immediately disregard as untrue because of your preconceived bias.

I want you to link to any article, on any subject matter on Wikipedia (in English so we can actually read it, I know that trick) that proves your claim of bias. I genuinely don’t believe you will be able to because if you could provide this evidence, you would have linked to it in your original comment.

Your holy scripture arguement doesn’t work because Wikipedia isn’t a fixed source of stated reality, it’s a constantly changing constantly updated website. We know the Bible isn’t objective reality because we’ve had it for a very long time and have been able to test it against known historical accounts, and they don’t match up. Wikipedia on the other hand is updated millions of times a day. Even if an article had some bias, by the end of the first day that bias would have been corrected by someone who didn’t like the bias. But you’re stating that there is a deep rooted institutional bias. I’d like you to indicate it please.
