Excellent, what are the metrics then? What makes a "how to do your nails" tutorial brainless stupidity?

> I'm not sure what more they could do. They're extremely pushy about it in Windows. One of the things that pushed me away from Edge. Being pushy is not the same as being persuasive.

Of course it has lots to do with Microsoft's fuckery. I don't think it's a binary choice. Can you answer my question now? Edit: Sorry, misread the author. Thought you were the same as I asked the original question. Nevermind

Is there any point? It seems like you're convinced enough that nothing can ever change your mind. So I'm fine with just disagreeing and leaving it at that.

I'm sorry if I come across as obtuse, but I just need to understand this clearly. Is it your belief that the low usage of Linux has nothing to do with Linux itself?

Just because something is revenue doesn't mean that the purpose is entirely to increase revenue. That is the claim you made. I have presented a counter-example to that, where revenue increase is clearly not the only reason for monetary

I'll have to disagree with that. Linux has significant usability problems, and pretending that it has none is not going to help anyone.

Yes, I really do. Why don't more computers come with Linux pre-installed? If Linux is such a great replacement for Windows, why has it made very little gains in replacing Windows? Is it all somebody else's fault and has nothing to

Anecdote of my own: In my country, monetary fines in traffic infringements are explicitly not for revenue. They mix into the total state revenue and form a minuscule fraction of it. The police sees none of it. This distinction is made very

I guess... but that still leaves pretty much all news aggregators. Google News doesn't let you do much other than read news from all over the internet. It's functionally exactly the same, only with a different aggregating algorith

This seems weird enough to be an error of some kind. Not that Apple is likely to fix it, but enforcing this rule would exclude: - All Reddit apps - All HN apps - Twitter - Facebook - Google News - Any link or news aggregator I guess even a

I'm still not exactly sure, which is definitely a red flag to me since I'm already a nerdy type that should at least understand the value proposition.

Have you done any research into how likely it is that a visitor from your demographic understands what "federated" means in this context? I ask because it's part of the tagline, so if you don't understand a key word in t

It can definitely indicate a major problem beyond that of voting. But what does that have to do with voting? Should they have a harder time voting because they already have other major problems anyway?

Submitting to the (future) status quo is very different from saying "I support whatever the outcome is" though. Unless you mean "support" as in "I will respect whatever happens", in which case I agree. But that
