That… That right there made me hate the entire trilogy… So we’re slowly overwhelmed, we’re slowly losing and being killed and the situation is so dire and… Oh there is the immortal deux ex machina guys just trampling over the enemy killing them all in a minute aaaaand we’re done!

It was so anti climactic

I’m wondering what side you’re on yet that doesn’t even matter. Your comment shows you’re little more adult than a 15 year old kid.

I stopped using the word “alternative” as it implies it maybe be less good. I just say “open source” now.

In reality, open source software almost always is a better product as it’s designed by people wanting it, not by a bunch of managers wanting more money directing a bunch of developers who just want their salary.

Also: a lot of the mainstream software has Linux clients, if you look for them

I’ve been on Linux desktop and server for over 20 years now, reaching 25. Never looked back, never will

Most apps have open source versions which work better anyway. I’ve been on a Linux desktop literally for the past 20+ years now, never looked back

I do exactly that, yes. Unfortunately I my company we have to use the msoffice shit, so I use the online version which is as hilariously bad as one would expect. Same for teams which is just a sad shitshow

Say about Google what you want, but at least the google drive tools work well.

In any case, what is your point?

Yes.

There is a VERY specific reason why Germany is doing this, whilst staying out of other issues. If I have to point out that reason then I think that maybe you should pick up a history book.

Also they aren’t saying that Germany is recognizing Jewish lives and Jewish communities, it says the state of Israel, you know, that appareheids state currently working hard to commit genocide.

Anyone bringing but this issue with either Israel or Palestine being good and the other side being evil is just downright lying for whatever reason. Germany pushing this for Israel really REALLY begs the question: okay, cool, Israel has a right to exist. What about Palestine, and Palestinians in general? Should we just off all of them? Eradicate all of them, men, women and children alike, no matter what country?

You’re right, but I meant it more sarcastically. Russia started the conflict and is escalating it at every turn that it can, hoping the west will back down and too ma y times we have. I’m pretty sure that the backing down is just about over by now, though

Who says they aren’t trying right now? I recall SSH had an attempt quite recently, I can guarantee that China is trying hard to include anything to out in back doors

Cool, get something else, then.

Reddit being shite isn’t news, it turned shit a long, long time ago.

Mozilla may have made some stupid decisions but Firefox is by far ye best browser our there this moment

The marketing company Google can go pound a pineapple

So does that mean that NATO can also start deploying troops there? I mean, so far we’ve kept out to not escalate this, but if actual foreign troops will set foot on that front line, you can only wait so long for the other side to do the same…

Yeah… The main thing I see here is that China (read; government , not the people, not being racist here) will take this code, they will make improvements on it, they will NOT give back. Basically like Microsoft, but now an entire country.

Chinese government hasn’t exact had a good reputation when it comes to taking technology and not giving anything back

Why?

Do you really really have to ask why? :)

UH OH!

With ICQ I learned the social skills that I couldn’t on the real world because I had been bullied to near death. I talked to random people all over the world, learned that I could talk to girls without having to feel like shit.

Used it so much, and with volume up, my upstairs neighbor thought I was watching the teletubbies all the time because of the UH OH!

Met my first girlfriend this way, she was in Mexico, I was in Europe. Moved to Mexico to marry her (bad idea, she was rather manipulativr and a huge cheater as it turned out, got divorced) and lived in Mexico for samn near 20 years.

To say that ICQ had a big positive influence in my life is an understatement, it changed my life beyond anything I’ve ever had before.

Thank you.

Yeah, though the Chinese government isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their heart, this is what open source is about.

Install Linux already, just get it over with.

A 35 mph crash would make the inside of that cyber truck do https://youtu.be/waG8YYTwpAQ?si=ncyl2l4IiP7GDLuk

Even a simple 10 mph “crash” without crumple zone would be painful to say the least

I’m sorry but just wondering here… Why would you need to phone home up to the point where you can’t be without a phone? I didn’t have phones in my school, never needed them either. A lot of people are acting as if not having phones will kill them where in reality, everyone will be just fine.

Why would even that be necessary? It’s school, not jail or drug den…

Kids survived fine without phones for millenia, I’m sure they can survive now. If there is a real emergency, then I’m sure some supervisor can make a call…

I literally didn’t quote anyone
