At it’s heart, numpy is C tho. That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Python is amazing glue code. It makes this fast code more useful by wrapping it in simple® scripts and classes.

I’m mainly taking efficiency in terms of energy consumption. I won’t deny that some ugly decisions have been made with Java :D
Java is still significantly faster and more efficient than Python tho - because it has ahead-of-time optimizations and is not executing plain text.
I don’t hate Windows for work. On the clock, I am balls deep in their ecosystem and I can’t say that it’s not working. However, that’s probably because I get it mostly set-up by IT!
Casual reminder that on Windows, it’s the norm to go fetch packages from the fucking internet using a web browser and give them root access to your system, including drivers…
A lot of settings are still scattered as well, with stuff randomly hidden away, completely
unconfigurable or named so it’s not at all clear what it even does.
For everyday stuff like browsing, I totally do not see why people would want to use Windows.
If it wasn’t for (some) ((multiplayer)) games and other Windows-only software, I wouldn’t recommend this OS to anyone at this point.
Technical question: If he would murder both candidates, could he still become president and pardon himself?
Is there no electron wrapper around ChatGPT yet? Jeez we better hurry, imagine having to use your browser like… For pretty much everything else.
Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.
I think overall they are not better or worse than other tech giants. They try to be the platform for blank and thus to push competitors out of the marked, or lock it down so they can’t enter. They try to extract as much money from their customers as they can, even if it makes the user experience worse. They push the boundaries of what the can legally do. They charge you, but you don’t own anything.
What really grinds my gears is how they try to force stuff on me that I don’t fucking want. I feel like they are completely different in that regard than for example Google. I use Google Maps because I want to. I don’t use Chrome because I don’t want to. It’s that easy. They don’t ask me to reconsider, they don’t make it super complicated to switch, nothing. I can disable any Google App and forget about it.
To stick with the Google comparison, I also feel like Google informs me better and gives me more control regarding my data. This feels much more hidden on convoluted in MS products in general. For example I had no idea Office is basically spyware before reading about it elsewhere. In Google-land, they seem much more upfront about what they use and what I can opt out from (or in to).
Love how people look at GB, see their much bigger economy, see the results of Brexit and be like: Bro, I think we would do better.
I have to, for work - which is why I am happy whenever they do stuff right. That said, there is also a lot of schadenfreude whenever they think something along the lines of “let’s tell people we will screenshot everything”.
Whatever MS does, I win.
People try their hardest to make computers your friends. Don’t be afraid to talk to them 😊
The trick is not microwaving everything at 100% power, but for a longer time instead
You do need to authorize admin action on Windows and it causes severe security issues, because people do it without thinking all the time.
You can also configure Linux to have this behaviour, but for security reasons it works differently out of the box. Also, some programs, such as many terminal emulators, can cache you PW so you don’t have to enter it multiple times.
I use a U2F key for sudo and it’s just one touch. One touch you need to sit in front of my computer for.
I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).
I prefer Flatpaks, not only because I support the format, but also because of containerization and the ability to clean up an application completely.
I absolutely hate it when apps randomly place config files everywhere.
Is using btrfs an option? Offer transparent compression at FS level
I think TOML found a pleasant compromise there
“I can’t make shitposts about trans-people in a “mainstream” meme community without backlash, so the mods must be transphobic.”
You do realise there are probably dozens of communities where people actually get your posts, you know? But feel free to farm more dislikes I guess.
Is this AI generated trolling or is the person behind this just next level stupid?
Have you ever heard of datacenters, portable devices or climate change?
