Happens in other countries too unfortunately, when you hear politicians say "stop buying avacado and toast" or "people are buying too many coffees" and they dont realise theyre talking about the above average income earners not the desperately poor.
I remember downloading game walkthroughs and it came as a downloadable text file. Had sooo much content, awesome ascii art, and you could tell the person made it did so because they enjoyed it and wanted you too
Ive always wanted to study microbiology and try to use it to cure viruses. Dont know why, it just seems so interesting how weird things like cells are and how viruses go through their cycle and how it affects living things.
Who knows, maybe in abother life.
I just have to imagine how interesting of a challenege that is. Kinda like when old games only had 300kb to store all their data on so you had to program cool tricks to get it all to work.
Well yeah, but the problem is win 10 isn't built from the ground up to be able to cater for ads inserted into your welcome bar, explorer bar, settings page, start menu and personalised ads ...... :( we live in the worse timeline dont we.
It came from a long time ago. See the power of people like Elon was being rich enough they could throw money at shit with little risk and also be rich enough to get smart people to do all the good shit.
But he was the face of it all for a long time, people legit saw him as the person who brought in electric cars (yeah i know he wasnt) and thinking space x is the rival to NASA.
Many people idolized him as a genius.
Then he ruined it, and you know why? Because he opend his fucking mouth just like the podcast you're talking about and many people saw him for the idiot he was.
The problem? Elon himself believed the bullshit, he hinself thought he was a genius. And now hes trying to "run" things and its all falling to the ground.
Because he never realized the only reason he had anything good was because of the actual smart people employed there.
I'm actually kind of interested in this point. Going public for many people is about the growth in the company. No one wants to put money in apple because its stocks are expensive. Its because they forsee it going up.
But i thibk youre right he sold out too early. Peope are willing to invest because of the potential outcome of selling api data to ai companies. People are interested to hear the potential financial increase of api prices making more profit. People may be interested of the potential change of nfts or whatever to drive more money.
But all of that has already happened, hes sold out all those items before the ipo. So i feel like a lot of people are like "what growth left is there?" And infact "is that growth negative going forward as users turn away or are hungry to jump ship if possible"
Who knows though what will happen, maybe im entirely wrong.
Lol i do this when the pm wants to note me down as "develor lead" on change requests, and i force him to change it to "developer enthusiast" instead lol i aint leading nothing.
What pisses me off even more is if you start saving too much stuff in your documents/desktop etc you start getting emails from microsoft that your drive is full and you have to purchase more storage (because your harddrive is likely much bigger then your free drive account).
So I know quite a few elderly people who think they now need to pay money to unlock more memory on their computer to save more stuff.
It's up to you, I haven't touched the Linux community for a long time (only came back last week to fedora) so it may just be that I'm out of touch.
When I was younger though, the biggest reason to change was because I wanted something different. If I was purely looking for playing games and homework I'd stay with Windows because it does work great for that and there would be no point to change.
So the question is, what is it that grabs me onto Linux, and part of that is implied in your your graph, but part could be seen as these aspects.
In saying that, I do get your point too, and for beginners it may be the better recommendation. In fact I may just be the outliner now that I think about it lol and maybe people don't try to set up Gentoo "just coz the community said it's hard and I took that personally" lol so an honorable mention may be better.
Printers i swear all of them hate me. I love it, but just cant deal with printers.
