Half the comments be like:

China has fast internet

But at what cost?

OS/2 on top

Not OP but many Linux project I follow, since they don’t have many resources, publish their releases through Torrent, a seeebox is fairly cheap (something like €10 a month) and could be easily crowdfunded even for a small project, and isn’t a huge expense anyway. And the site could just be a static page, or better yet the magnet link could be aviable on Github for people that want the precompliled binaries instead of the source.

E: did i say something controversial?

Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.

(it wasn’t the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)

Even if YT gave all the money to the creators, ads are so cheap nowadays that it would need them approx 20.000 ad views just to pay a month of premium (and that’s assuming every cent goes to them) big creators and publishers sure make money out of ads, in the end they get millions of views. But a smaller creator thst works hours upon hours on a video is making probs less than minimum wage through ads. Ergo If they want to make money they need to rely on generous people.

Trick or treat is Turing complete

I’m a magic the gathering programmer

Ok Biden bot, the red scare (a documented historical fact) is now a conspiracy I guess

1. ah yes, the old Falun Gong lie

2. patriot act, red scare, CIA killing journalists etc

3. the entire united States of America is built on stolen land

As I said.

So the US is a regime, got it

Name something bad you think China has done, the US has done that but 10x worse

If it’s western it’s a country but if it’s Chinese/not western allinged it’s a regime?

Lucky you, in Rome, 25/mo for barely 200 down / 20 up, mixed fiber/copper. I’m still on DSL 100down10up (yeah, in 2023) but I think I’ll switch when they will provide real fiber, something like yours in terms of performance. (Fastweb btw)

Not panCat but I’ve been using Mint (cinnamon) for a couple of months now, it’s snap-less Ubuntu (snaps are a controversial packaging format, plenty of videos on that) with a Windows 10-esque UI and lots of actually useful apps pre-installed OOTB, 9/10 can recommend (not 10 bcs it looks a bit…old,but I guess you can customize it or put KDE if u want)

The world runs on KDE (or gnome)

Seconding that, made the switch and nothing broke since(almost 2 months now, ^o) . Can’t say that for windows tho, where not only auto updates meant I had to wait half an hour to use my PC half of the time or disable them and not be up to date with security, but the OS itself was riddled with problems, sometimes just opening Firefox with a few tabs (like 4 or so) would bsod (and I have 16 gigs of ddr4 ram, so it wasn’t a ram problem) not to mention now that I’m on Mint everything is faster, I didn’t have to pay a license key and I know my OS isn’t trying to fight me for my data.

Programming proves sigmas don’t exist

It’s actually the only way to assure i never lose the cap, because i always lose the cap
