If the intended work gets done, even if its done well within the given time why does it freaking matter what the person chooses to do with the rest of their time?!?!

I agree, it takes a lot of copium to believe that all of this “phasing out by 2050” shit itsnt straight pandering. Its like a smoker with lung cancer saying they’ll quit in a few years. We are hopelessly addicted to our lifestyles that depend on fossil fuels. The only one thats ultimately going to shift our society is mother nature when she eradicates us through famine, extreme weather and chaos

The point is if they do it for this there is no reason they wouldn’t do it to other forms of media. Youre either introducing a strawman argument or missing the point

Sacrificing privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you’re ok giving up free speech because you have nothing to say

Hmm, tracks. I will continue using nothing from them

I think I’ll just upgrade to sailing the high seas rather than paying these clowns

They’re not doing these jobs for fun. These are people that have themselves and their families to care for. Its possible to be mistreated at your job while also needing the income from your job

Regardless at the end of the day microsoft is a business. By that fact alone their decisions are dependent on what is best for the company. If and when this deviates from what is best for the consumers, we will learn to regret the acquisition

Where? I haven’t been able to find it

Who watches the watchmen?

Wow, the denial is strong. People are actively dying this year because of events that would have been statistically improbable just 10 years ago. Considering how important agriculture is to feed billions of people on a daily basis I would argue that any change to that jeopardizes our existence; and this is just one of the many effective ways that climate change could destroy modern day society.

You can believe what you want and I hope you the luck to never encounter fires, deadly weather, water or food shortages as many people today are dying from.

I also agree with this sentiment. I got a used t440p which I used for years in school before upgrading to the framework 13. I still love my old thinkpad, but its now my cheap in home media server. I would agree that old thinkpad are easy to find and a cheap (but still very useable and still to some extent repairable) option for work and school.

Seriously though, outside of work I kicked windows out of my house in 2020 and haven’t needed to go back. To be fair, my job doesn’t have any software requirements that would tether me to windows, but the gaming performance this year has been nearly flawless for the majority of my library, beyond anticheat some games actually run better on linux when you consider the reduced overhead in a lighter distro

Agreed! I highly recommend waistline after using it for three years. If definetly gets easier once you logged most of your frequent foods. Its a but scarce for unpackaged foods (eg… Fruits and vegetables) and alcohol, but overall more than a suitable replacement for my fitness pal.
