Aw, your comment was funny before you edited it.

I’m still curious what the reason is, even if its clown logic.

Odd how this is the opposite of my experience. My mother is unable to print or scan things 2/3 of the time on her HP printer using windows 10. You know, the OS whose parent company has very close relations with HP, and is updated in a manner that forces their users to use the most up-to-date official HP drivers, even going as far as to prevent them from using any other drivers, including the default windows ones.

Meanwhile, my Linux laptop can operate the printer just fine. Never had an issue. I can even operate the loading tray, despite the HP tech support reps telling my mother it is broken.

Why is writing code by hand out of the question?

Reminds me how on the very day Elden Ring released, it was performing better on Linux using proton

Not exactly accurate, I think. Even machine language is bound by the CPU’s architecture. You can’t do anything in machine language that wasn’t specifically provided for by the CPU architects.

It would be more accurate to say it’s like creating a new universe using all the same laws of physics, thermodynamics, cosmology, ethics, etc as our existing universe.

That’s certainly a conclusion to jump to.

I don’t have anything to say about Apple users, because I don’t know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.

And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I’m going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

I don’t think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it’s more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.

As someone who is admittedly addicted to windows hate juice, can we start getting more memes extolling the virtues of Linux/Unix, and fewer memes about windows being bad? We could be talking about Unix’s amazing shell environment, or its devotion to text-streams as an interface. Complaining about Windows just makes us look like we aren’t confident in our decisions to use Linux.

Not when it was invented, no. Compared to today’s stack-phobic languages? Certainly.

I want to point out that, just like in real life, its the inclusion of that “++” which complicates things. Without them, it would be straightforward and elegant, having only 1 logical solution.

Makes you wonder why people keep insisting on having the “++” around. Why not ditch them and go back to basics.

Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.

I’m actually curious to know, how is Linux inherently more secure than windows?

I’ve never experienced major slowdowns when running Linux on old laptops. It helps that OS fragmentation appears to be a problem exclusive to Windows

Its a copypasta.

Why C ‘hackers’? Why not just regular C users?

If you ask me, the only reason for objects to exist are for preventing stale references. Anything more than this is unnecessary.

I used to think I was just a fanboy. But as time went on and I gained more and more experiences, I’ve only become all the more sure that ANSI C is the only language I ever want to write anything in.
