But that goes for pretty much any pickup truck. The whole category is an affront to common sense.

The main flaw of that thing is its bad engineering. The design was meant to be polarising and if it was actually a good car, it would work in its favour.

It got done! How can anybody be so cruel?

Bold off you to assume I’ll make progress on the small tasks while I procrastinate on the big one.

Forgot to label the baby. 2/10 meme.

Widerstand ist zwecklos! Ihr werdet Deutsch lernen und ihr werdet es mögen!

I wasn’t talking about the Linux installer but the whole installation process. I agree that the things you mentioned are the real obstacles. Once you have the live system running it’s usually plain sailing.

It’s irrelevant to the user but for most people it’s an obstacle for trying out Linux. Most people won’t just buy a new Linux machine, not even considering the fact that they’re not easy to find. The way you get started is to install it in some old box you have lying around. That’s far too difficult for most people to do right now and therefore a barrier to entry.

“Only the best people”

He’s a true giant among the Shire folk.

Except they bought all the newspapers.

If there weren’t so many pathetic losers paying for this sort of crap, none of this would be happening.

But that would cost money and *gasp* empower users! What are you, some kind of communist?

The whole Greek philosophy thing would have gone very differently if they’d had television.

Whoa whoa, hold on there! You can’t expect a product manager to come up with such detailed specs!

Anti-trans, anti-immigrant and pro white supremacy terrorism are still A-OK, though.

Those games are so expensive because people will pay those prices. There are plenty of cheap games to be had.

That would be handhelds. Mini PCs are desktop devices. They often use the same processors as handhelds and laptops, though.

While blaming anything and everything on “capitalism” is disingenuous, it really does have to do with a lack of competition in the space. None of the incumbents have any incentive to really put much effort into improving the performance of gaming GPUs. PC CPUs face a similar issue. They’re good enough for the vast majority of users. There is no sizable market that would justify spending huge amounts of money on developing new products. High end gaming PCs and media production workstations are niche products. The real money is made in data centre products.

That’s just nonsense. Maybe some 13 year olds with rich parents think like that.
