Me too, and it comes with the added benefit of usually having a pleasant “Ding!” instead of the shrieking “BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP!” that digital microwaves have. The downside is that you completely lose the precision of a digital timer, which some people (not me) consider a must have in a microwave.

Polarization is causing a lot of people to doubt that the collective money actually will be put to good use. In a lot of places (like my country, Israel) they’re damn right, it’s not.

I guess each country might have its own laws about this. Many countries have agreements (I forgot the term for this) where they would send each other’s wanted criminals back so they can be tried where they committed the crime.

Just yesterday I joined a Discord server and one of the rules is:

II. There Will Be No Tolerance For Intolerance

SKG enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards hate speech or discriminatory behavior based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Any use of slurs or language intended to demean or dehumanize an individual or group is prohibited. Violation of this rule may result in immediate removal from the server.

I thought “no tolerance for intolerance” is kinda funny, especially when phrased that way, but obviously I think the policy is good. Just an amusing little oxymoron.

Sorry for going 100% off topic but since it came up, please everyone in the European Union go and sign the Stop Killing Games initiative: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ the deadline is coming up and the goal is to reach at least 1,500,000 signatures! It’s looking like it’s doable, every signature counts!

I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.

I can’t comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I’m serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.

That’s true for a lot of people, but I truly believe a very significant number of people are being exposed to Linux this way and will stick with it long-term. It will be a while until we see that reflected in the desktop and laptop statistics.

I haven’t used SteamOS (or even seen many videos of it), but from what I’ve heard it’s not shy about being a desktop operating system. Even the Steam Deck, which is marketed as a console like you said, lets you use it in desktop mode and run any Linux software without having to jump through any hoops. This isn’t like Android which is technically Linux deep under the hood but effectively completely detached from the Linux ecosystem. SteamOS is part of the Linux desktop ecosystem, and it’s proud of it.

Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn’t that what everybody does?

Air.

That’s literally what it would be.

I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

To add to what others have said, I think Steam OS is making huge waves and that’s a really strong force.

Linux Mint is exactly as easy to use as Windows, if not easier. In Windows you also needed to google every day basic functions, but I guess for you personally that was so long ago that you don’t remember. On Windows you also need to use the terminal for some things, like removing some of their bloatware (xbox bullshit, for example).

There are some specific points I kind of agree with you about, but I don’t agree with your general sentiment. Linux is easier to use than ever.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

What do you mean? It’s a massive mainstream operating system used by the majority of phones in the world.

I think it should be both. Punishment can be a good deterrent, and it’s really not possible to measure how much of an effect the deterrence has. You don’t have statistics on people who would have committed a crime if there weren’t harsh punishments.

I know it’s off topic but what has been proven to work best is to prevent crime by improving the lives of would-be criminals before they get to that situation. It’s cheaper and just better in every way.

You’re right (and upvoted accordingly), but if said evil company is as much of a clusterfuck as OP said, I wouldn’t bet on them having competent security measures in place.

Is that an enemy? As I recall* they’re an item that only the player can use, they never appear out in the wild and you don’t have to fight against them (unless they ricochet back at you). Also, this is just my interpretation, but they seem mechanical to me, not alive.

* which is clearly not as reliable a source as it could be

don’t forget 3D models or 2D sprites, depending!

Just to expand on this: in the Zelda series it differs from game to game. In some games they are bomb flowers (e.g. Tears of the Kingdom, also Wind Waker if I remember correctly), in other games they appear to be man-made and are bought in shops (e.g. Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, I think?) and are presumably conventional bombs with gunpowder as you mentioned. I don’t remember any game where bombs are an enemy like you said, but I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t played every game.

Because it’s strong and powerful but it’s hard to keep from crashing?

(I’ve never used Arch, and really have no idea how true that is)
