Let the Dandy Lions grow like we do in Europe

No, Dandy Lions crowd out native North American species and result in less diverse ecosystems, which is bad.

It’s easy to laugh at that as a meme

No, you definitely have a point. An increasingly valid one, I might add.

And I do wonder what the “point” of Wine will be overall if we ever get to the point where the majority of users are on Linux.

I don’t think it’s heresy, but I do think there’s value in devs shipping native Linux builds. It’s a Mindshare thing. If devs never target Linux they won’t build with Linux in mind.

But as a user, it’s fine to use whichever version gives the best performance.

This guy has completely lost the plot. I don’t think it’s possible to be even more disconnected from reality.

I think you still need to worry about multilib configs if the game you’re trying to play is Linux native. But I guess those games usually have a Windows version anyways and you could just use Wine/Proton for that.

It was a weak attempt to keep relevance when faced against Gemini and Claude. But it’s completely unnecessary now that OpenAI has contracted with the government. They get all that sweet tax payer money and get to repurpose a ton of GPUs making stupid videos to supporting that new gov contract.

I think maybe ‘you just don’t get’ how to support your position.

Maybe I’m just frustrated with the discussion. Plenty of other people have explained the position very eloquently, but it still falls on deaf ears.

They will not ban it on Servers or for Corporate use

That’s the thing, the law doesn’t differentiate.

It sucks and is stupid but the alternative is banning Linux.

Good. Have it banned in the one state that probably relies on it the absolute most. Silicon Valley would start to implode and the law would be changed very quickly.

PC gamer hijacks your browser history to show more articles when you try to back out of the site.

I HAAAAAATE this so bloody much. It’s such a gross feeling when your device literally stops working the way it’s supposed to work just because a website wants to shove more of their crap at you.

A Motorola

By “these people”, I mean people who just don’t get it.

It’s like talking to a wall with these people.

Yes, this is perfect!

Your real name and location data have been stored in UNIX/Linux for over 60 years.

IF you entered that info. And it wasn’t being used by applications to enable surveillance laws. It’s a false equivalency.

I’m running Linux, so I’m also completely unaffected by this.

I think it’s blatantly obvious we weren’t born on January 1970, year 1. January only has 30 days, not 1970.

I’ll believe that if and when they actually force me to upload identification to prove that my birthday really is 1970-01-01 and my name really is Nunya Bissnis

It’ll be too late by that point. Way way way too late.
