In some ways, the big success of AI agents is getting people to invest in and/or pay for "it's sometimes right" compared to previous expectations that if a system is incorrect that's a bug that needs fixing yesterda

Yeah, between a mix of the lurid details driving clickthroughs and some people feeling that they should publicise it to expose the culprits, it feels like every sex crime in my area makes it to the top of Reddit etc. This has led to some pe

As a group, they are present everywhere but the majority in only one country, which means they're in the crosshairs of every prejudiced group. Also having been a present but small minority for so long in so many places, a lot of the di

Factorio and Minecraft (Java edition) are two of the few games that come to mind where the Linux port got comparable effort to the Windows port, and I don't think people are in a rush to play either of them in Proton. Your latest AAA o

Windows installation is only easier for non-technical users in that someone else (usually their laptop manufacturer) does it for them.

How do you anticipate users choosing Windows or Linux at boot time without a bootloader? If the idea is they go cold turkey full Linux, good luck with that. if the idea is they use their UEFI firmware boot menu, you're forgetting how u

My firefox is currently on 450mb on RAM, putting it in third place behind KDE's file indexer and one of the currently running electron instances. If you use Linux, then you're not stuck pre-dedicating a big block of RAM to a VM to

The thing with Windows tablets and Android tablets is in both cases the software development only has to justify its net increase in spend over just doing phone apps, but since HP didn't have a good market of phone apps to begin with,

Android has unfortunately trended the opposite direction - apps that once had tablet UIs dropped them in favour of big phone UIs as they did redesigns around 2016-2020. I dropped out of the Android tablet world in 2019 for a Windows tablet,
