Disgraceful?

Bitcoin isn’t that.

Sure, and there are some performance gains to be made from it I’m sure, but when my OS is doing that and my web browser is doing that and my browser based chat client and my browser based text editor are all doing that, it gets pretty sluggish.

This is why Linux is a godsend for older machines, even running the exact same applications (Firefox, Discord, and vscode) on the exact same hardware, it still feels more responsive on Linux because there is less overhead from the OS itself.

4GB is what Windows idles at for me, after everything has loaded.

You present a false dichotomy. Yes, things like uncompressed audio and HD video take up more storage space, but that does not negate that modern commercial software is very inefficient with how it uses resources. You could improve the efficiency of the system while keeping HD video, it is not a mutually exclusive choice.

For example, booting up Windows and doing nothing takes up 4gb of RAM, while doing the same with a lean Linux installation would take up a quarter of that, despite both operating systems having identical functionality (run web browser, open applications, edit documents, play games, etc).

God be with ye

Carelessness or ignorance, believe it or not, evolve language. Have you heard of compound words?

Except language is demonstrably fluid, meanwhile it seems like your grasping of prescriptive pedantry is coincidentally just a lazy reason to try and be correct when everyone knew what “instore” meant.

Do you say “God be with you” when departing, or just goodbye?

Only if you think corporate branding is equal to personal identification.

African Orthodox now!

You think it’s clear to most readers, yet ignore the largest evidence contrary to that and instead try to explain it away with conspiratorial thinking, interesting.

Honey it’s not a brigade, you’re just wrong. It’s not pedantism, you just sound like a fool.

Yes, and a criminal is a criminal. You are very smart.

Vegan extremists are not the same as Neo-Nazi extremists.

Jesus dude, how desperate are you for interaction?

And then there was the weekly Dracula thing popular on Tumblr a few years ago where they take a non serialized novel (as far as I know) and split it up based on the dates of the correspondence within, going a level further than serialization and delivering the story “real time” as the letters and newspapers were sent/published in the story.

Why would tankies defend this, Russia isn’t communist.

exactly, I admit to sharing some of the “bro its so easy” attitude, but that should result in simple answers instead of berating, like a “no stupid questions” but for linux thing

Lots of highly addicting stuff is legal, I don’t care if people do cocaine. Make it legal and safely accessible so drug addicts can participate in society and not have to fund cartels

There should be a “Linux hotline” community where people can post whatever is stopping them from switching and get solutions
