If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

"But can Linux install things via a single .exe file? HAHAH EAT IT NERD!"

“I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control."

He is in for a surprise when he realizes GNU/Linux is much more convenient than Winblows.

The rotten apples are starting to appear, eh? *sigh, oh well.

Yes officer, this heretic right here.

I'm unironically considering ditching any online interaction(s) on the internet and use my PC solely for offline content (write documentaries, texts, play retro games). Because I really don't want to use the internet with that level of intrusion in my pc.

"Honey! Our TV isn't showing up channels!"

"Gee, fine. Hold on."

ssh [email protected]
cd /sys/devices/tv/channels
cat channels_list
[none]

Ah, *beep.

"Oh yeah Plebbit? What are you gonna do next, hack my PC and force me to read nothing else than random reddit content for the rest of my life?"

Plebbit: "Oh, look! Our loyal users are disliking our new changes. Hmm... maybe we should screw with em by messing with their (basic and expected) user freedom! That will make em go back to their e-home, that's for sure!"

Wha? Even a bleeping potato can run Linux nowadays, with zero issues at day 1.

t. Got a Orange pi zero 3, and the lil' bastard is rocking solid -- even with (near zero) support.

More users does not ALWAYS mean a good thing.

That is a whole lot of text just to say "Rpi bad" -- its (still) the best single board computer for both performance and low power draw.

So you are telling me that really soon I'll have genes inside me removing cancer and even "fixing" some "unfixable" things like poor eyesight and even brain-related ones? Sign me up.

At this rate, we'll be 30% in 300 years!

Theres your problem.

tl;dr: "Growing up sucks because it makes everything look the same old."

I mean... yeah. That is why you have to stop wishing for "the same old" over and over again and embrace the new. And yes, I (also) think DRM has no other purpose than to hinder performance.

t. am (also) a 80's "kid".

We've reached a point that technology is not improving, but degrading -- who on earth is going to accept this as is and let third parties acquire random information about them, including their credit card? I mean, if a hacker manages to bust (whatever feature that allows this bs to happen) and forward info to them instead of the meta HQ -- they are going to have a heck of a honeypot.
