I’m lost in Google’s sauce and it’s great

What happened?

Yes you can

Same, also what day of the week

Yes, gambling is a real problem

Hard to hold down a job to pay for rent/mortgage, car payments, food, utilities, etc. While battling cancer. Your medical expenses may be covered to a small extent but you don’t live for free when you are sick.

Look dude, you really aren’t thinking about the shareholders right now. Get with it

You forgot digital mixer, SMT assembly systems and gas generators

Lol I guess you haven’t used Windows in a very very long time

And if it wasn’t?

Everything you just said is just… So incorrect. I don’t even know where to begin. With just saying it’s difficult to use, like what the hell are you on? How disillusioned are you that you actually feel that is a true statement?? If anything is the only OS using logical conventions, just in the simple concept of it being the most well known and common is in the world for desktop use.

I don’t even know how to start with the basic usability functions that you claim are missing but as a long time Linux user I’m very interested to see what examples you give because I’m sure everyone is interested.

Memory you aren’t using is wasted memory. You should really look into understanding super fetch and the reason Windows “wastes” memory, reality is it’s sitting files that have common usage in memory so it isn’t constantly pulling them from drives. I mean just the fact that people are running Windows 11 smoothly on Chromebooks with 32gb of emmc 1.5ghz processors and 2gb of memory stands to make your entire statement pretty silly.

I’ve owned probably 45 computers or more in my life and I’ve never paid Microsoft for shit. Saying Windows is a scam is rather stupid, you can literally disable telemetry and it’s still the best OS available right now regardless of your emotions.

Well that’s kind of the thing, that’s why Google announces they are ending those things. Most companies just end development silently and let those things differ l drift off without support or intention to solve issues which becomes incredibly telling for anyone who comes along and decides to integrate that software into their systems or daily life which later just becomes a massive problem down the line.

Announcing the end of something, and even coming up with a solution for it like domains switching to square space, GPM transferring user songs into YouTube music, and SketchUp selling to Trimble are low or even zero hassle solutions that result in longer term support for their users without throwing a “sorry it’s all broken now, go fuck yourself” methodology

I mean, scrolling down that list, those all make sense. I guess if Google just did what all the other companies do and silently let go of these things instead of announcing that they are ending them so that developers and users know ahead of time not to expect long term stable and support that would be one thing. Google’s development process isn’t the same as everyone else’s though and their current method of developing tandem products and then gauging success of each and then folding the best features of the less successful one into the main one is obviously not a bad methodology as we have seen. As well it’s kind of important to a company to not waste resources on projects that customers both don’t find interesting and consume more resources than they generate while at the same time serve no greater benefit to anyone as a whole. Like, what do you want them to do? Nobody needs a web browser toolbar anymore, it’s 2023. Everyone screamed at and hated the entire concept of stadia, so they ended it. GPM was a financial failure with very few users that was due for a massive code overhaul. Like damn people, chill out.

Sweaty Mammoth without a doubt

I couldn’t speak for rural Ohio

That doesn’t make sense

What do you mean by “there’s absolutely nothing to do in it”?

Yeah but that’s not even true. It’s cheap to live here and employers pay well, with lots of available work. Maybe in whatever area you live it’s rough but it’s pretty easy to thrive with very little education in the cities, I’m not sure why you think that someone’s money would now be worthless, it’s the polar opposite as your cost of living is going to be lower. I’m not sure what has you saying drug use is higher than anywhere else though, quick look at various studies show it’s about on par with the rest of the US. As far as people wanting to leave, I don’t know many but the ones that do are generally people that don’t apply themselves to anything and have a mindset that the reason their life is shit is everyone’s fault but their own. Sadly yes, we are a red state due to gerrymandering but that’s not a problem that can be solved by turning away intelligent people who are capable of shifting the imbalance. Do keep vocalizing the issue with this though because we need more attention brought to conservative corruption here, and good things are coming of it as we recently had some of them get locked up with sentences that weren’t a bullshit slap on the wrist which is cool
