Those aren’t the hardcore climate skeptics. The real crazies have gaslighted themselves into believing the current climate conditions are how things have always been.

I once had a relative refuse to believe there was blizzard during a family reunion in October only a decade or so ago. They were AT said family reunion.

Totally has nothing to do with Taco Bell being the only thing open past midnight anymore.

When has banning porn ever been profitable? Look at tumblr.

Personally I miss the added flavor of the microplastics

A lot people like playing on genuine hardware, and this enables skipping a ton of steps to making that possible. For those select people this really is a massive convenience if maybe not a godsend.

In the case of business’s, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just “switching” OS’s freely.

In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?

Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I’m confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn’s laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they’ll chuck it in the garbage.

use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.

The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don’t meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you’d wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y’know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.

Larian is relatively small compared to lots of developers. This is BS
