Je ne suis pas juif mais : discuter avec un rabin autour d'une bonne bouteille, c'est toujours marrant. Tu peux partir dans des délires et avoir une discussion philosophique malgré tout.
2 points : boombox outside c'est plutôt américain, et pas de location de vidéos parce que mes parents étaient trop radins pour acheter un magnétoscope. Ouf, je reste jeune.
AI will replace human beings by generating shitty JS games and solving leetcode problems. But still no concrete example on a real codebase that is not written in JS.
The average user complains about Windows all the time around me and I have to fix their crap constantly. It is fucking over their daily life, either by preventing them from working or by swallowing their files into a black hole. Windows users at work don't care about it, but around me when it's their personal computer, it's a disaster.
switching would require not only learning one new thing, but a large number of new things
Any Ubuntu from 10 years ago is identical to the latest Windows. It's laziness, fear, or being hostage, but it's certainly not learning something new. Also, Windows 11 is completely different from the previous versions and it didn't seem to bother them.
People say Stockholm syndrome is fake, but when I see Windows users, I know it's real. They have been suffering for years and never thought once about alternatives like Ubuntu.
"Oh Linux is too complicated, I can't do that." Yeah, you can't click on Firefox to open Firefox, or LibreOffice to write a document. That's too hard.
To rant a bit, the last time I helped my parents, I removed every icon from their desktop and installed Firefox with uBlock Origin. Only Firefox on the desktop, it was idiot proof. When I came back, Firefox had disappeared and on the desktop I saw: Edge, 2 copies of Chrome with the most scummy plugins ever, and one Chrome fork that came from an adware that they purposefully installed (WTF). I told them that they had a virus, and that from now on I wouldn't help them anymore. They like to suffer, I let them.
As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It's restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.
They have done that for years, and every time there is an army of geeks and gamers who look for registry hacks or PowerShell scripts to install Windows anyway. If even those geeks do not want to spend 5 minutes looking for doc on how to install Ubuntu (which is a billion times easier to use than Windows), you can be sure Windows will never die.
Torrenting in a café? Get Mullvad and stop complaining.
