  • It's only a hop step from there to something less invasive thankfully.

    Intravascular neural interfaces are already reducing the invasiveness, but hopefully that is just a short step.

  • It really depends on what kind of applications you're talking about. There are still a number of things it can't run (or well, probably without a lot of meddling around to get there) in the professional space, like CAD. Hopefully this will change over time.

    For a lot of these products there are free alternatives available, but they often don't cut the mustard and/or aren't worth retraining for.

    Another thing you should consider before choosing Linux is hardware support. This is often lacking in Linux. For example, your fancy tablet might work fine as a tablet, but if you want to configure anything about it you might need windows depending on the device.

    The good news is, you can try it without worrying about harming your windows install by doing it say on a usb stick or hdd. It'll only cost you time and effort.

  • Community support is a thing, it's not the lack of support that's to blame here - have you ever used Microsoft support? Linux support is much more accessible even.

    A lot of the blame here, is Microsoft's clever marketing campaign providing windows to educational institutions - with support - for far below cost, in the early days when pc adoption was on the rise.

    Distribution saturation is a barrier to entry and focused support, and it is sometimes more complicated to install and repair. Sometimes it's easier to repair, because windows is too busy trying to hide its internals from you.

    It's usually easier to support a remote IT-illiterate person using Linux, by comparison to windows, today.

    e: I guess to be fair, if you factored in community support for windows, your options open up quite a lot. I was more thinking about my own interactions with their support. But enterprise support/problems are not the same as personal ones.

  • Capitalists care about their own capital, not future society generations from now.

    Can't we sensationalise the same way they would..

  • How did that work out? We used sles in the past (moved to rhel6). Management of larger environments has been easier with rhel, but we've slowly been decoupling from redhat-isms. Satellite is just doing drm -the only thing that gives us grief- and repos now.

  • Making kids dum so they don't know they're being exploited and can't fight back has been going on a lot longer than either of us have been alive..

  • I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It's gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it's gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn't/wouldn't consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.

    The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I've been happier for it.

  • Think that's dystopian? At a local here in aus, if the self service checkouts think someone is about to walk out without paying, they lock off the entire self service area, and all the trolleys in the store freeze and refuse to move - Even if you've been through the manned register, and already paid for your groceries.. You have to wait for them to unlock all the shit. Idk how people shop there.
