You are a brainwashed propagandist with that comment. Good for them. Can you explain to me why the US and NATO did not intervene with the genocide in Georgia? Make that TWO genocides. Who did? How much territory did they take? You know that counts in your inaccurate figure just as an example.
Americans are too stupid for the Internet.
TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Voters Want Politicians Like Trump and Harris to Be Celebrities.1·8 months agoIt used to be “have a beer with the president” now it’s a social following. Both are ridiculously stupid qualities to have in the highest office. And America is getting what the voters deserved with these terrible candidates.

And I use JLC for PCBs and 3D prints because they have AWESOME printers and it’s just as fast to push the button and have it show up from them as it is for me to find the time and baby a print.
TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trial begins in Florida for activists accused of helping Russia sow political division, chaos [CURT ANDERSON | September 3, 2024 | apnews.com]1·8 months agoLand of the free! Free speech. Freedom of press… No wait, not like that! Only free to say and print the propagandist perspective.
$300 for the most important piece of software on the hardware that you interact with every day, sometimes all day, for years? That’s a steal.
And again, as an OS, Windows just works and Linux doesn’t. Even if you wanted to set things manually in the registry to disable the bad consumer “features”, you’d still spend less time than configuring a standard Linux install and it would be more stable.
It’s like Apple fan bois nowadays. Ridiculous.
Or… Read what I said. Spend the $300 on the enterprise license. No ads. No forced notifications. A single computer with multiple users at one time in a home environment is not a use case that would get any thought. Those that want it, can do it. And it’s easy, and free. Hyper-V is free and the licenses for the virtual machines are free too because the container host is windows. Lock an instance per output and voila. Recall won’t be coming to enterprise or server and if it does, it will be disablable. Just like forced updates are disabled in enterprise. Forced reboots disabled. Etc.
If you want that experience you buy that experience.
I’m sure if you edit the registry inside emacs from a live iso boot from 6 burned CDs, it will unlock all the golden rainbow features you require.
Yes exactly. I love Linux. I build embedded systems devices with it. I run it on some of my rack appliances. But I’m also not a blind fan boi.
Windows made leaps and bounds into stability with XP. And since then it’s been a slow cog into being an excellent enterprise grade OS even with users bashing it all sorts of ways.
Most (all) of the complaints except price focus on money grabs and features for the docile masses. Forced updates, reboots, integrations, etc. My 80 year old relatives can use it and you know what it works great when they type into the “computer question box”. Click start menu and type. It brings up their files, folders, apps, answers to web questions, etc. That makes sense to someone who doesn’t understand a computer. It’s not pandering to the IT folk, it’s pandering to Karen.
If you’re IT folk, you can just spend a little more money on the proper license and all that goes away. Or you spend some time hacking the registry and get it for free usually.
The only BSODs I have had in the last decade are graphics driver related usually when pushing beta drivers hard. My Linux OS’s have had way more stability issues with less interaction.
It 100% is in a desktop environment used by users.
In an embedded locked system not in space, it’s the same.

That’s the headline.
No. It really isn’t.
Windows with the proper license and configuration is more stable, more productive, and that configuration takes less than an hour once for the life of the machine.
In 2024 if you’re still bashing Windows for BSODs, stability, updates, etc, you’re doing it wrong. You can bash all day long for privacy violations and corporate greed but both of those are fixed with the proper version like Windows Enterprise. Costs more, but you are less of the product.

TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The U.S.-Led Ceasefire Talks Are Just Buying More Time for Israel’s Genocide1·8 months agoYup. And eventually all gone there. The plan isn’t secret, they post on social media and make news conferences about the new Israeli territory’s geographical boundaries.
They’ve even made references to the greater land they claim which extends all around neighbour countries. Obviously they’re not going to invade Saudi… Today. But start making the PR claim today, and eventually the rhetoric moves with it
TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.world•Advice on Using WhatsApp Safely with Dual SIM for PrivacyEnglish2·8 months agoWelcome to the land of dual sim, my requirement since 2003. It’s incredibly useful even if only professionally.
Up until earlier this year this was easy. Any sandboxing app like MultipleApps would load WhatsApp and then you’d have a clean break if you chose. But Zuck decided to block all non original instances, giving a warning for about 6 months that it wasn’t supported and bad and lies about stealing your data, then just logged out and that was the end.
Now very few sandboxes work and in my experience it’s only the root level ones that come with your device. From there you can block contacts or permissions for WhatsApp.
But I think you’ve got it backwards as you’ll be the one with the mixed contacts. Your work colleagues won’t have your personal number and your personal colleagues won’t have your work number. And if they did, it would message two separate WhatsApp instances. They wouldn’t see your other contacts, it’s not like Outlook.
And in that case a free Google voice number on WhatsApp’s second account in the same app, would work just fine for you. That’s how I have 4 WhatsApp on my 1 device. 2 physical sims always on, plus google voice, and an esim. Each WhatsApp instance with a second account switch and then the second WhatsApp in my phone’s sandbox.
TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Influence of China on Southeast Asia13·8 months agoThe Chinese influence is absolutely viewed as positive. When the Chinese influence, a road, a port, a library, a school, etc gets built. When the US influence people die and everything gets bombed to death.
What’s surprising is the Philippines has such a low US influence number considering the history and the US right now using it as a pawn to harass China. Even Australia has told the US to back the f’ck off from the south China sea and using Philippino shipping lanes and vessels as pawns to start WW3 or WW4 at this point.

TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Kamala Harris receives Obama-style Hope poster from renowned artist4·8 months agoFully agreed, couldn’t say it better myself. My guess is some intern slapped it out of a generative AI. There is a LORA for this exact type of poster for free. It would take about 5 seconds to make this.
