The Menemen!

Then you are pretty much the archetype of what I thought about. :)

Yeah, maybe under special circumstances that might also make sense.

I could imagine MIT might be interesting for Software released by public institutions, that are meant to be used by the industry in any way they want. Sometimes earning money with your product might even be impossible due to restrictions. So, not really Software released with the FOSS philosophy.

Otherwise I also never really understood why anyone would use the MIT license.

Using Adobe on Linux is a sacrilege. Screw that company.

And you can postpone it to whenever you want, also post thesis defence.

My son is using my 12 year old Asus 1215 netbook, that cost 300€ back then with Xubuntu to learn programming. Works fine. He can even run Minecraft on it. It glitches a lot though. It has an Intel Atom cpu…

We first tried Linux MX, but Xubuntu runs better.

Some of them are really succesful. Many people care. Others don’t.

Here the current Steam charts. Many indie games, some few with really low specs. Banana only needs 30MB RAM. Seems to be a great game. Hostly now, why are 50k people playing that “game” currently?

But back on topic: Yes, AAA games are more succesfull and earn much more money, but claiming “no one cares about indie” is stupid, when so many people play games like Rust, Stardew Valley, Prison Architect, Terraria, RimWorld, Valheim, The Forest, …

All those old school (former) linux devs used to play DnD back in the 80s, right? Hmm. Satanic panic 2.0?

The Character Switch was originally supposed to be a man in the real world and a woman when plugged in to the matrix.

This would have been a clear symbol.

I am not a big Matrix fan, so maybe my knowledge about the films (I saw 1 and 2, both only once) might be too limited. But I completely fail to understand the symbology.

“How intensive gun usage solved my commute problems!”

Here in Germany forums are still quite active. I have several forums I actively use.

The thing with forums though, is that they oftentimes end in drama. People really do get to know one another over time on forums and that often leads to meltdowns on a scale you don’t have on lemmy or similar pages.

This something we cannot bring back: when we were all new to this, it felt so unbelievable. Suddenly we were casually chatting with people thousands of kilometers away, who were of a completely different background. I’ll never forget when I (living in Germany with a turkish migration background) was talking to a US based Neonazi who said that he had nothing against turks, but he heard turks where the nxxxers of Germany. I mean, that was not a pleasant conversation, but it was just so unbelievable that this was actually happening. It felt like everything was possible now. I mean back in 2001 I thought “Hey, let’s hear the other side” and just went on the talibans website. Just a few years earlier that kind of insight was simply impossible. The internet just felt borderless.

A lot of things were terrible though, like “asl” or when any wrong click could easily land you on a disgusting and deservedly illegal website. Crazy times.

I’d just pay The Fun Pimps to get their game out of alpha. Of maybe Savage 3.

Das stört einen richtigen Kapitalisten nicht unbedingt, da lässt sich trotzdem Geld mit machen.

I knew one once, but she was borderline abused into it by her boyfriend. The same guy made me a linux user. He is quite succesful at that, if only he knew how to take a shower.

And it is stil, accurate (except S. Jobs death). Fuck we do not evolve. :(

Liegt aber auch an deinem Umfeld. Die meisten 60-80 jährigen die ich kenne wählen SPD oder Die Linke. Ich vermute aber die BSW könnte aber genau in dieser demographie ein wenig abstauben.

It can easily compete with Google. It is much better imo. Only thing Google does better is the document sharing. MS Office is a different thing.

That was 1st about the forced restarts (Linux always only told you that it is necessary, but let you decide when to do it) and 2nd about the commomness of it happening on Windows (restarts are necessary more often on Windows).
