They are more likely to roll than normal cars (SUVs excluded), and when they roll they’re generally more likely to crush the roof due to their weight. So yeah, while they’re better off than the car they hit, they’re still not amazing safety wise.

You’re still missing the point lmao. Who gives a fuck about a tiny drop of water when there’s a tidal wave coming for them.

Hey bud. The original comment was a joke.

No, it’s obviously better to have the choice (run the game or not). And losing a game that previously worked on Linux is obviously a bad thing, hence the joke about it being good.

Of course you could argue that taking a stance against this kind of intrusive anticheat is good in the long run. If Microsoft had a backbone they’d do the same.

But yeah losing games because of anticheat is obviously a bad thing lol. No need to take it so seriously.

The drag and drop thing is because it’s an app file. “Installation” is just putting the file in your application folder, or wherever you want it. Apps are (usually) just files, unlike on windows, so you don’t need to go through a complicated installation process, just put them where you want them (usually the applications folder).

The window snapping thing is annoying (but it’s not apple’s fault, Microsoft has a patent on it lol). There’s a bunch of free apps that add window snapping though 🤷‍♀️

Apologies, I misread your comment as saying you had to use the terminal to use Linux (I was drunk ngl). I still believe Linux is easier to use than Windows with the caveat that the easiest system to use will always be the one you have the most experience with. I switched from MacOS/Windows to Fedora on my personal machine a few months ago and it’s been smooth sailing for me, though I have always used Linux at least somewhat (I work in cyber security), so that has probably helped.

Dismissing Linux as a tool for a different job (ie not personal/business computing) is an odd position to take for someone with your experience.

I knew the f150 had a good safety rating but didn’t know the roof was that strong. Thanks for sharing.

That version doesn’t exist is what I’m saying. The manufacturers have to put in significant work to get it to that point. And along the way they have to choose to make it similar to pixel/what people expect “stock” android to look like, instead of putting their own flair on it. My point is that it takes just as much work to make an android skin that feels “stock” as to make one that doesn’t. You can’t dismiss their version of Android as being “stock” because that doesn’t exist.

I was also adding to the discussion. You commented something it reminded you of, I commented the difference between the two. This may be an important point for those who are not familiar with either of these technologies.

Yeah it’s very common unfortunately. I didn’t intend to undermine your contribution or anything. Sorry for that regardless.
