The article says nothing whatsoever about this topic.

Which god would that be?

Precioussss… we wants it!

My guess is, at this point it’s mainly the dementia.

Welp, I’m not saying you should use Python for everything. But for a lot of applications, developer time is the bottleneck, not computing resources.

You can write perfectly well structured and maintainable code in Python and still be more productive than in other languages.

Ah yes, those precious precious CPU cycles. Why spend one hour writing a python program that runs for five minutes, if you could spend three days writing it in C++ but it would finish in five seconds. Way more efficient!

We have a Twitter alternative already. And it’s not going to be enshittified now or in the future.

Well, if Nancy said so, it must be true.

It takes a certain kind of environment to enable that.

Most people I know have zero Windows skills that wouldn’t transfer to Linux. They can start a browser and click on a bookmark, but that’s as far as it goes.

But that goes for Windows as well.

Installing Linux is definitely not something, the average computer user ever wants to do. The same goes for Windows. Unfortunately you can’t just buy a Linux computer at your local electronics store. Until that changes, Linux will remain in a niche.

What took them so long?

I did that once and it wasn’t a nice experience. Windows will always find ways to screw things up and you’ll constantly be dealing with their shitfuckery. Outside of gaming there aren’t really many reasons to stick with Windows and even gaming works great except on titles where it is explicitly sabotaged by the publishers. If you’re dealing with an older laptop, this likely isn’t a consideration anyway. If you’re unsure whether Linux is for you, my advice would be to install it in a VM first and see if it works for you. Chances are, you won’t miss Windows at all.

I’ve completely given up on watching broadcast TV. Recently they made a change in Germany, where you have to pay extra for cable TV. Which I won’t do so now I don’t have cable any more. I haven’t even noticed the difference.

And the picture quality is terrible by modern standards. Give me OLED any day.

Easy there, Satan!

No complex society has ever been run without money. While that’s no proof, that is impossible, I don’t care to be part of this particular social experiment.
