  • It always infuriates me when people say Windows is all about games. Techies are so detached from reality they forget that people have creative hobbies and have to use industrial grade software. Doing creative hobbies on Linux is an act of sadomasochism. And on top of that, Linux and MacOS cannot run software from 3 years ago while Windows can run software from 35 years ago. And on top of that, Linux is completely unusable to Japanese/Chinese speakers due to how hard it is to input the moon runes, and on top of that Wayland breaks the least painful setup that you could have earlier. And on top of that, Wayland people shown a middle finger to all the people who need accessibility features.

    No, Windows is not about games, Windows is about being an objectively the most stable pile of garbage there is.

  • he does it for free

  • >selling the old garbage

    EU does the same.

  • There is no sound evidence of having so much microplastics in the brain. The studies that show it are very broad, incomplete and did not check for false positives.

    "The main analytical method used in this study was pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This method can give false results when used to measure plastics because fats (which the brain is mainly made of) give the same pyrolysis products as polyethylene (the main plastic reported)"

    And then you have something like this: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32882126

  • Commented: "On Bloat"

    Unfortunately developers cannot be blamed. Most customers give unrealistic deadlines that you can only meet if you use a framework. Convincing them to wait a little bit more time to do it right does not work, they will just hire somebody else. I am working for a customer who opted out from a properly working, fast website with a Go backend in favor of Wordpress, because Wordpress happens to have a WYSIWYG editor. So we comply and install an enormous pile of insecure bloat that loads for eternity... just so the customer can change colors and move blocks around the landing page. It sucks, but having no food on your table sucks more.
