It’s crazy because so much of the constitution is about ensuring no one is above the law, because they were trying to get away from a monarchy. Somehow this SC either can’t read or understand the constitution though because here we are.
I think it’s much more obvious that one party cares about decorum no matter what is going on.
Article 2, section 4 clear says “and all civil officers.” It specifies president and vice president likely because they were getting away from a monarchy and wanted to specify they aren’t above the law, but it clearly should apply to any federal civil officers.
Does this actually matter if the Supreme Court is ruling in the constitutionality of how accountable they are to other’s power? Probably not. This supreme court at least will always argue in favor of serving themselves. I don’t know how that plays out at that point.
And Toys R Us apparently.
The perfect proof to not trust this companies if you needed it.
How would this prevent them from suing?
Yeah, 64 bit handles almost all use cases we have. Sometimes we want double the precision (a double) or length (a long), but we can do that without being 128-bit. It’s harder to do half. Sure, it’d be slightly faster for some things, but it’s not significant.
What specifically is breaking and what are you doing with the system?
Installing it and using it like normal shouldn’t break anything, but it is very easy to break things if you start tinkering. There are very few guardrails.
Some of it, yeah. Obviously some is required. Not the amount that it has though.
It is not the most expensive for any intrinsic reason. It’s not necessarily that complex to operate. It’s expensive because bureaucracy that has been strapped to it to make switching to it harder, which was designed to keep dirty energy in demand longer. It is the safest power source we have available (including renewables). There’s no reason it’s so expensive except to attempt to kill it.
I love the “as many of us know, Rep Friske is always exercising his 2nd Amendment right,” as if to somehow excuse an assault with a deadly weapon.
I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It sucks the some systems aren’t supported. It’s very rare, but I guess you may be in that small group. I’d bet some people could help you make it work, but it may require extra effort. The great thing about Linux is you can make almost anything work if you put in the effort, but if the tools aren’t already made that’d mean doing it yourself, which probably isn’t an option.
I’m not trying to say Linux is right for you, but Windows does not care about you either. They are leaving everyone behind if they don’t follow along. I wish you good luck and good health!
I love these comments. If you need to use the command line (the largest argument people have against Linux) why are people still arguing to stay on Windows? Hell, Linux you don’t even need the terminal if you don’t want to use it and choose the right distro.
(I recognize that for schools and offices, people don’t have a choice. These students were probably on a personal laptop though, so they could have a choice. The issue is Windows comes as default and no one actually makes a choice. They don’t choose Windows. They just have Windows.)
That’s not Linux doing that. It’s the demons in your hardware trying to escape. They normally don’t cause too many issues luckily, but if you don’t close the portals occasionally they can take over your system.
Where did I say Linux doesn’t have flaws. You’re just here arguing that it can’t be useful to a person who is already clearly technically savvy because you have some issue with it or something. You needed to come here and argue with me that it isn’t perfect for literally every person because I brought it up as an alternative for someone who is clearly capable of learning it.
Everything has flaws, and that’s especially true for large projects, like Linux, Windows, or Mac. The difference is that with Linux you don’t need to fight it with things like the OP had to do where they disabled updates, presumably through registry edits.
Some people talk about people recommending Linux are loud (it’s FOSS and we’re on a FOSS platform, so it’s appropriate), but the fact some people just have to come and say “it isn’t perfect, so you can’t recommend it” is insane.
I think it’s more likely that someone else buys it for the audience it already has, not for Alex, and uses that for good or ill. It could end up as more of the same, or it could get much better or worse.
All of that, just to have a Linux server that could natively handle the default windows file format.
All of that has nothing to do with standard operation of Linux. I also switched from Windows, and I haven’t reformatted two of my drives. They work perfectly fine. They are NTFS. I have used them on Ubuntu, Fedora, and now Garuda. I didn’t have to install any other packages or anything for them to work. Debian probably just doesn’t include it by default, but every distro I’ve tried does. Linux doesn’t natively support many things, which is why distros include a lot.
The average Windows user switching their computer will probably choose a desktop focused distro that will include this support by default. It won’t be an issue, and if it is then it’s only a time-sink, not difficulty, as you move files to storage temporarily while you reformat.
I won’t even start on all the small tedious things I have to on Linux VS doing the same thing on Windows. (I wish g hub was able to run on linux)
Yeah, some things are annoying, but some things suck on Windows too. Have you ever edited your registries on Windows (I’m sure the answer is yes.) It’s not a fun process, and you can fuck things up easily. There’s no need to do things like that on Linux.
As for G-Hub, yeah it sucks it doesn’t work, but there’s Solaar that does most of it, just in a harder to use package. That’s a choice by Logitech to not support Linux though, not a difficulty intrinsic to Linux. They will support it if more people change over.
I feel like all of your arguments are just from your experience only.
Personal experience and those that I’ve heard and seen, sure. As are all of our opinions. I saw the other day someone using Debian (I think, maybe it was another distro) while avoiding the terminal. You can’t even do that with Windows.
96% of people haven’t, because they don’t want to.
That is not an accurate statement. The vast majority haven’t even considered that there’s another option, besides Mac maybe if they’re aware of that. It’s like saying 99% of people aren’t billionaires because they don’t want to be. They didn’t make a choice.
For your car analogy, I agree with it. It’s pretty accurate. The issue is this person was doing fairly serious maintenance of his automatic car. He wasn’t just driving it around because it’s easier. They spent time gaining knowledge and experience because they’re automatic was breaking down in a way the manual wouldn’t have had issue with. They wouldn’t have much trouble making the switch.
So if you don’t have a clue, do you buy the expensive yet inferior product for ease of use, or spend hours learning stuff you don’t want to, to get the free, and better product?
If you are willing to learn how to hack Windows to work the way you want it to, the better solution is to switch to Linux. The person I replied to is knowledgeable enough to disable his computer’s ability to update. They are not an average user. Any user who can manage what they did will have a trivial time switching to Linux.
No, no Linux distro holds your hand like a OS that comes preinstalled on your PC.
No shit. It holds your hand more than what this user did, and it holds your hand more than installing Windows, which you’ll need to do for 11 to switch. It being pre-installed is exactly the same as someone installing it for their parents, or whatever you said in your other comment with a negative connotation.
I don’t know why people always need to boil things down to what the absolute dumbest least technical user who doesn’t have help can do when they weren’t what’s being discussed. This was a user on Lemmy who has modified Windows to not update. They are spending more effort to stay on Windows than it’d take to switch to Linux, like I implied with my first comment.
I wasn’t implying it was a good thing, just the explanation of why they don’t get more done.
That said, they have improved a few things. It just isn’t as much as we need. Insulin, for example, is in a much better place, and that should be expanding to cover more drugs. Thr democrats are significantly better than the Republicans. They are not both the same. They just aren’t as good as we deserve.
