Does any body have a link to that photo?
Here you go:
Wheres this photo even from?? I would love to know, its peak shitlisting material
There’s a really small credit at the bottom from 1998, and I found some more from the same photoshoot just now. It looks like people have tried to find the source of this before, but I’m not seeing any answer as to WHY, lol
Stock imagery, probably.
Is that how Americans make screenshot?
Amazing. Thanks.
You can install linux via bullets now? how cool is that?
it just works
- install linux
did it work?
Instructions unclear, cannot compile gentoo.h
Not bullets. That’s a windows thing. Linux uses USB arrows.
Oh geez that’s really what that is. What’s this from?
Hawkeye the tv series.
Now I’m thirsting for Jodie Foster with black rifle deepfakes
new gnome app called ai central which is just a big white window that says “what do you think this is… microsoft?”
Microsoft runs the best viral marketing for Linux.
DO NOT fire at those vintage Macs. They are not responsible for this.
Oh no, this picture is from 1998, those Macs were new. That woman was rocking the Agent Scully look for a reason.
Maybe they are, in a way.
“New”
I could swear it has been happening in window’s temporary folders for like 3 years now.
Watch Redditors defend the Microsoft corpo…
I wonder if I can get them to delete of the shit they took from my fucking comp already? I moved to Linux mint a short while ago and despite some minor limitations, I haven’t looked back since.
If only there was some sort of movement of gracious people willing to donate their expertise and time to write software and allow the users to fully control it by giving away the source code. That’d fix everything!
But how would they make money?!
People doing things with their time and expertise without a profit motivation is Communism!
/s
If only my work would listen to you
(We make Windows-only software so a transition to Linux any time soon ain’t happening)
You have my sincere condolences, buddy.
But… but… then you’d have to think about what you’re doing and *gasp* develop a basic understanding of the technology that runs your life! Who has time for that nerd shit?
Not everyone has that aptitude. It isn’t always a matter of motivation.
To be fair, some people are burnt out to degrees most of humanity struggles to comprehend. Of course, there are always the lazy butts; HOWEVER, you cannot generalize at all.
Nah man, those stupid ass single parents working multiple jobs need to get their priorities straight! /s
So basically, if you’re sawing trees with a blunt saw and somebody suggests sharpening the saw, you’ll say “I can’t, I got trees to cut!”?
Almost.
Imagine youre cutting trees with an axe and someone tells you theres a tool out there that can do it better, but you have to learn how to use it to become efficient with it. And you dont have time to learn new tool because capitalism says you have to have that tree cut down right now.
There is never a good time to change things. You just have to start somewhere. And I’m not saying everybody should do it right now. But the more people do it the quicker we build critical mass.
No no, you don’t understand. Because this person wants to learn about linux everyone should want to. Because if they want to it’s the best. If you just want to use things that are easy and spend your free time on things you enjoy you’re an IDIOT! Wake up, sheeple!
Who the fuck needs to “learn” Linux? it’s an operating system. You just push the damn buttons.
That may have been true for Linux 10 years ago, but now it is easier to install than Windows, and much faster to install. It may mean the axe handle is a different colour, but it chops the same or better.
faster and easier to install
Youre assuming youre talking to someone who installs their OS and doesnt open a box with an OS already installed
I mean Dell, Lenovo, HP, system76, etc sell laptops with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS installed
I’m assuming from this smug nonsense that you’d be able to fix your car if anything went wrong, right? What about if something structurally went wrong in your home? If you don’t understand how an MRI machine works you better not get medical care!
What an absolutely brain dead take on what people should and shouldn’t be doing with their time.
If you don’t understand how an MRI machine works you better not get medical care!
Accusing other people of dumb takes and spewing out a zinger like this does not require any more comment.
I notice you’re not saying anything about the car or the house. Don’t know much do you? You just let other people do it because otherwise you’d have to think about what you’re doing and gasp develop a basic understanding of the technology that runs your life!
As soon as Windows is installed, Microsoft owns the computer.
It want from “My Computer” to “This PC”.
What do computers and air conditioning have in common? Both stop working when you open windows.
Yeah, it’s time for windows to die. My windows 10 computer i’m pretty sure everything on it would work on linux, so i’ll switch it over to Mint in a few weeks.
I installed Pop OS on some old hardware “just to see what it’s like” 2 weeks ago and am already planning to switch my primary over by this weekend. If I can be done with Windows, I’ll be a happy man.
I installed Pop OS on my ten year old laptop two days ago. I’m not sure it’s my forever distro, but it’s running fine now that I got the right nvidia driver set up. In any case, now that I’ve gone through the process, I feel a lot more confident that I can build a Linux desktop instead of buying a PS6 in a few years. I’ll probably go AMD to simplify the setup.
A lot of stuff does run.
- Steam (proton)
- Heroic Launcher (Epic Games, Gog, Prime gaming)
- Wine for additional Windows based Programs
The only Thing that I do Miss, is Anti-Cheat Software for some games. Thats the only reason to keel dualboot, to Launch that Games on Windows. Besides that - screw Windows.
I got GOG Galaxy working in Steam, through Proton, as an “Add a non-Steam Game”. I’ll have to try Heroic Launcher.
You can Download an .AppImage from their Website directly. Just make it executable and there you Go. Decent UI and pretty straight forward
Try Lutris - it integrates with the GOG store so will fetch and install the games from there, with proper scripts to configure Wine so that the game just works with no extra configuration (i.e. with works like the Steam launcher does for the Steam store).
I believe Heroic Launcher does the same, but I’ve just settled down to use Lutris and Steam so never go around to test Heroic.
they’ve got all the telemetry to infer what you’re doing and what your screen looks like
But for some reason, they still need to screenshot dudes fucking up excel spreadsheets and lowballing people on Facebook marketplace for 8 hours
I doubt their telemetry (if enabled) is good enough for targeted ads. Recall can give them a massive amount of information from your entire screen, it’s a massive improvement for them.
Proprietary bios could be spying on you when you connect to the internet. It might be time for Libreboot 🦌
Don’t forget about the porn. Then they can blackmail politicians to pass laws that force more people to use their shit.
As a millenial, I never understood this. Back when we were having LAN parties, we always shared our porn, so I know what pretty much everyone I care about tosses their salad to and they do know what I get off on as well. I’m impervious to that sort of blackmail, it’s like a superpower.
This is why religious people hate the love who you want movement. Sexual shame or guilt is an extremely strong way to control someone. If you aren’t ashamed of who you are then blackmail like this doesn’t work.
Reminds me of when Ted Cruz twitter liked incest porn on 9/11 memorial day
Nooo! Skully!
