'Merica, with all its diversity

Reply in thread

Europeans think of any European country as an equivalent to America as a whole. That's simply stupid.

It is stupid. Many European countries are culturally more diverse than the entire US.

American regional cultures are almost as diverse as European ones.

Not even close. This is laughable and, honestly, proof that the cliché of the American knowing nothing about world geography and foreign cultures is alive and well.

To even suggest that some guy from Texas and some other guy from California are as culturally far apart, as, say, a Spaniard from a Finn… this is truly the dumbest timeline.

Linux 7.2 finally cuts off ancient x86 fallback code

Mine don't.

Sorry, me and most people haven’t ever heard of your SaaS platform.

Source?

Compared to Windows, Linux is more of a niche OS for hobbyists. (My everyday device is a desktop, not a router.)

Then by any means, use Windows.

Your point is what exactly? Operating systems need a certain market share to be good? Lol. Seriously, just lol.

Never made that point. What I said is that NetBSD is a niche OS for hobbyists, and that if I wanted to run Linux software, instead of relying on emulation, I would rather just use Linux.

Enjoy your ~3% niche OS.

Did I hit a nerve here?

Anyway, funny that you would want to make that point when you yourself use NetBSD. You and the other five people running it on a desktop computer must be having a lot of fun I suppose.

Don’t be ridiculous.

Virtually every SaaS platform runs on Linux. Half of the embedded devices out there run on Linux. 70% of cellphones run on Linux. Essentially, there is no way you would be online without interacting with a Linux-based OS in one way or another.

Even compared to FreeBSD, NetBSD is more of a niche OS for hobbyists.

Fifa opens disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over Falklands banner and final chaos

So Jose Maria Pinedo wasn’t forced to leave the island after the British Navy moved in a forced them to take down the Argentinian flag and replace it with the British one?

Neither Pinedo not the handful of people in the islands were expelled.

Does Wikipedia not work where you are, or are you just reflexively defending imperialism without looking up to ensure what you’re saying is correct before you say it?

Maybe you should read carefully what the Wikipedia article says.

Regardless, this topic will never stop being funny. Turns out, there are people out there who sympathize with Spanish nobility turned colonizers, turned South American landowners, like they are any better than the British. I guess the same people support the US in the Spanish-American war.

I’m sorry, I thought we were comparing BSD to Linux. And why would I use BSD if there isn’t a single piece of software I need that isn’t available on Linux as well, but others, like Kubernetes, aren’t natively supported on BSD.

Regardless, nobody cares about dropping 486 support. NetBSD is a novelty OS at best, and FreeBSD, the most popular BSD out there, doesn’t run on 486 since 2024. Nice attempt at trolling tho.
