Oddbean new post about login | logout Just because you don't have the knowledge to make something on Linux work properly doesn't mean that Linux is worse than Windows. Just because configuring certain things in Linux is more difficult than in Linux doesn't mean that Linux is worse than Windows. The same applies to Bitcoin. nostr:note1mwrygcp95dpaj8muq7rewxaxqaj3ck78k7lxzxwszck0efuzd4rsv529v3
Lest not forget the most recent debacle around the "Copilot Recall" #privacy nightmare that #Microsoft in their arrogance is pushing on the user base.
I apply that same logic to self custody. Just because it is (slightly) harder then the alternative, it doesn't mean we should shy away from it. Ultimately, self custody is the best choice for most people.
Bingo!
make the effort, learn and then teach just like everything else in nature, when it isn't used, it goes away. don't use your body, muscles waste away. don't use your mind, your mind wastes away. fish in caves don't use their eyes, so they lose them. look out the window and see this is the myriad things. it is right in front of our faces and yet... PS good teachers learn more than the students
What are you talking about linux is great my 13 year old son uses it
But bro, how else am I gonna remember my passwords without windows Recall?
I'm imagining an ad for Windows Recall where it's someone with alzheimer's who can't remember anything typing in "my loved ones".
The same applies to #nostr
I am a big opensource proponent and I see the adoption of Linux as a way to escape surveillance and control by the big tech/gov't ecosystem. And, I am getting a Linux server running to be able to selfhost services to further divest from that ecosystem. However, when you say "Linux is totally superior to Windows, and when I say totally, I mean totally...", all someone has to do is point to one example of inferiority or parity to disprove that claim. Barrier to entry, usability, convenience, compatibility with with ubiquitous software, etc., are all very important for product adoption. And, they are issues commonly critiqued with Linux. You may see the trade-offs with Linux as an obvious net positive for you and your use case, but many don't. Education can fix some of that. But, if we shift the blame to the customer, basically saying "You don't know what is good for you. Why won't you buy my product?", Linux will never reach the mass adoption we'd all like to see. If Linux wants to move beyond the server market and take significant shares of the home/office computing market, they have a lot of work to do. Especially, since home/office is so inseparable from the phone market. The mantra should be: "Know your customer. Make it better."
