Your assumption is that all meat tastes the same. Try eating a free range Argentinian steak and a cheap Tesco value steak… They are not the same.

I cannot judge grown meat, but meat taste greatly varies

What a weird title. They are completely 2 different, independent things. Just to be categorized with AI hype articles…

In the age of quantum computing, a formula 1 car is the least OMG thing engineering has produced in the past decade

Millennials as well. I get bored with modern games. Grinding all day for a pink weapon skin. Tf, I don’t care what color are my skins. Give me a good old challenge

Spaghetti is 1 type of long noodles. You have spaghetti, tagliatelle, bucatini, linguine, vermicelli…

Can we ban links to the sun? It’s notoriously not trustworthy

I was downvoted because I said that barbie is not feminism, a statement which is bare minimum of center left feminist ideology.

Lemmy is definitely not all leftist.

It might be seen leftist by US standard, but overall, with the exception of few well known instances, it is not really “extreme left”, probably not even overwhelming left

Non-American here. What is Christian and why Catholic, protestant, and orthodox Christians are not Christians?

This doesn’t make much sense

I unfortunately have to deal with it daily at work… With a premium laptop that cost thousands, and it is extremely less performant than much smaller and older machines with linux (I use linux at work as well).

I am not saying anything controversial. It is literally the reason why windows professionally is used for accountants, but it is practically never used for tasks that require performances, reliability, stability and long term maintainability.

Most casual users live with these issues, many move to mac, few move to linux. Victims of corporate IT like me must justify the budget to avoid the standard laptop and get the overpriced piece of extremely powerful hardware to have a daily experience slightly better than a raspberry pi running on respbian. Because outlook…

There no real control of what and how you installed stuff. This create long term issues. This is why you perform registry clean up. But it is not enough, because of orphaned and conflicting dlls, inconsistent installation paths, conflicting versions. You probably don’t see just because you are used to the issues and you think that’s how things work.

If you install a better os, everything is accurately and centrally managed, making maintenance much more easy. Problem is with closed sourced software and drivers, because they break the normal processes of installation and maintenance, creating similar issues as in windows (not as bad because the os is better engineered)…

The problem is maintaining the os. Installing the drivers on windows is usually fine. Maintaining them is frustrating, because of how updates has to be done, and the dirty uninstall process, and the issues.

On many Linux distro it doesn’t work perfectly, but maintenance is so trivial that people become used to it. And going back to a high maintenance OS is annoying. Like going back from a modern EV to ford model T. Some people like the experience of going back in time to the mid 90s with Windows, other prefer the simplicity of maintaining a Linux OS

I have seen frontends written in c#. Nothing surprises me anymore

That’s why engineers are, on average, paid more than researchers… And why research is such a nicer job.

Create robust and easy-to-use stuff is tough and you don’t get much reward

Publish or perish, that’s why

Now we need answers!

As a windows user in corporate IT. It just doesn’t work. I spend most of my time hacking my way through useless unix pseudo toys, wsl2, cygwin, mingw… Each one for every tool because… Reasons. And because wsl2 is just painful. So we spend time creating fake unix virtual machines via docker on kubernetes using vs code remotely on expensive linux clusters… Frustrating.

Go home and turn on a linux laptop just to see a real functional terminal. Deep breath, zen, cathartic.

Windows makes my otherwise fine daily work miserable.

I hate enterprise IT. Built for sending around emails and working with excel sheets.

I am seriously thinking about starting an AI start up just to avoid risking another windows laptop switching job (they always promise cool stuff, at the end they always deliver overpriced windows garbage, my 8 years old laptop is more functional than their $ 3k notebook)

For me it’s the opposite, at school I was forced to take notes. Teacher would give me bad grades if they saw me not talking notes. But notes are completely useless for me, and if I take notes I don’t understand the lecture. So I started the habit to sketch on notebooks pretending to take notes. Schools can be pretty stupid

I remember as a kid it used to be much larger… It is a pity it’s shrinking
