You ate glue as a child didn’t you?

Like a lot of glue.

The performers time is not infinitely reproducible so your argument is apples to oranges.

Is Linux perfect? Absolutely not and I have never made that claim.

My point was merely that Windows users are bombarded with popups from the start and Microsoft are only going to get more aggressive with their monetisation practices.

Im annoyed about stuff all the time on Linux but rarely do I feel the seething rage I get when Windows tries to push ads on me. On an OS I fucking paid for.

Culturally they are a shit hole despite their enormous wealth.

Or are you going to defend the way they legally mistreat women, homosexuals, atheists and use slaves?

Number of deaths attributable to Green Peace vs number of deaths attributable to polluters?

Number of governments coup’d by Green Peace vs by polluters?

I have a feeling the facts won’t play out in favour of your accusation.

MTG is known for her extra-marital affairs which got her divorced.

It’s literally always projection with these losers.

Australians do not vote for a Prime Minister, we vote for a political party which nominates its Prime Minister in the event of an election victory.

By convention parties nominate the PM before and promote them during the campaign. PMs can however be chucked out by their own party without a vote by the public, as happened with Kevin Rudd.

PMs do not simply have a carte blanche “mandate” to implement their election promises and must follow all parliamentary process.

Albanese's defeat speach fell flat and was weak. Just more dithering and deflection. For a self proclaimed conviction politician he sure can't muster any fire in his rhetoric.

Dutton's speach was solid, hit all the talking points and will likely see an approval rating rise. Yet it was full of lies, promises of action on housing and cost of living issues which his government created. Promises to improve defence which rotted under Liberal leadership.

Promises for funds to communities in need, the same communities the Liberals stripped $500 million in funding from.

I was happy to hear a journalist call out Dutton's claim that an audit into where the money is spent, as Liberals were in power for a long time and should know exactly where it went!

The reason you expect this is because Windows has a file lock behaviour that won’t let you delete a file when it’s in use, in Linux this limitation doesn’t exist.

Raymond Chan, arguably one of the best software engineers in the world, and a Microsoft employee, has repeatedly lamented the near malware like work arounds developers have had to invent to overcome this limitation with uninstallers.

Think about uninstalling a game. You need to run “uninstall.exe” but you don’t want uninstall.exe to exist after you’ve run it… but you can’t delete a file that’s in use. Uninstall.exe will always be in use when you run it….so how do you make it remove itself?

Schedule a task? Side load a process? Inject a process? Many ways…. But most look like malware.

Linux has never suffered this flaw.

Fun fact, the user agreement doesn’t mean anything in Australia. Australian’s can get a refund any time they want because legally we cannot sign away our rights.

I got a refund a while back after I discussed this point, and my grievances with their broken promises, delivery failures and increasingly hostile sales tactics with RSIs (at the time) Director of Player Retention, Will Leverett.
