How the fuck is it not? If you have been following developments, these oligarch techbros are basically the US government, they are crashing the economy for their shortsighted profit and complete control over the consumer electronics market via cartels, causing rising prices on everything, not to mention they are using their tech for dystopian things like palantir, surveillance and other autocratic things.

Perhaps if we were just talking Teslas in general, but the cybertruck? I can’t imagine any non-assholes buying and driving those. That thing is a statement, a fascist “own-the-libs” statement in particular.

You guys really need to distinguish between being anti-Israel for reasons of their genocidal behaviour or for nazi reasons. The nazi anti-Israel types are not your friends, and they don’t provide anything constructive to anybody.

But China is capitalist.

And much more of an incentive to kill their victims as well.

It is the same damn story every time. We know that MAGAs only constitute 30-40% of Americans. It is the shitty US election system and more which enables them to completely rule the country despite being a minority. They will never have a majority in anything, and there will always be a majority disliking what Trump and his fascists does.

They are not exempt from guilt, but the that is not the point. The point is that this is not just yet another example of random police brutality and abuse of their powers. This is oligarch dictated suppression of dissidents.

It is different and much more serious than just “cops being abusive assholes”.

Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

So you have no idea which OS you are running? Well, that’s certainly a choice.

If you stop in the middle of a highway you absolutely are at fault.

No, but they are prohibitively expensive. Just like hdds will be.

The headline in the OP is clearly wrong. But you want to be lied to because it provides an optimistic message? That seems even more bootlicking than the strawman you presented in your comment.

That one-third of the population who gets to choose who rules the entire country.

It will be really interesting to see the figures at the end of 2026, when Windows 10 has truly reached end of life, and a whole bunch of people are going to be forced to choose.

I switched to Linux in December, and it was a remarkable feeling. I don’t think I had really noticed how oppressive or depressive Windows had become (and I hadn’t even switched to Win 11, just using win 10), or how much I was actually personally affected by, but that feeling of suddenly being free when I booted up my linux was quite surprising and exhilarating.

It was like a massive weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.

Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).

Switched to CachyOS in December, so I guess I’m part of that statistic.

I was also part of the December Steam Hardware Survey statistic, but that was before I switched. So the December survey has an artificially inflated Windows statistic by at least 1 user.

It’s going to be massively worse in Windows 12. There is no going back for them.
