My computer freezes for 2-3 seconds when I try to open the volume panel and there are ads everywhere on Win 11. It's like Microsoft wants to wipe every good memory I've ever had with past Windows experiences and just accept the present.

If MacOS ever ended up like that, I'd be on desktop linux tomorrow despite the inconvenience.

I am remiss to inform you that Big Sur and-onward feels less snappy than GNOME, and has nearly as many advertisements as Windows 11. It wasn't what I wanted either, I bailed after Mojave.

I mean, I’m not going to doubt you on the snappiness as I only use Gnome on older machines, but ads? Where are the ads?

You have driver issues. Improving on this problem will require further locking the OS which you may not want.

All you did was offer your arbitrary opinion without any supporting argument or anecdotal evidence and suggested we should fix it with more taxes.

If you're going to offer an opinion contrary to the majority, you should at least have a convincing argument why.

That sounds like an excuse to abide the open corruption that's occurring under the right-wing regime in the US today.

No it's not. I'm replying to the guy that said "That used to be true", because it's obviously not true.

And that comment is overly-fastidious.

I'm working on what I hope to be a high-performance voxel engine from scratch in Rust in my free-time.

Cubic chunks, full lighting engine, opting to be non-deterministic, everything is unsigned integer math except for rotation and rendering, multiplayer is mostly implemented, built to be able to handle heavy simulation.. the foundation work is almost done. Right now it's just a hobby to try to build the best thing I can build. I work on it because it's fun.

Tired of this copy-paste comment. It shows up on literally every lawsuit thread.

Tired of comment, not the corporate malfeasance. That is you problem.

Still is true.

If they have good reason - they should tear down, even if it is the popular thing to do. But you do need good reason, which most people don't.

I love Indian food, but I still don't want to live in India.

You don’t have to? To clear out of the analogy Swift is available on all major platforms, no strings attached to Apple (except you have to download Swift from them oc).

Frustrating that you're being down-voted, because this is a very valid point.

There is something incredibly weird about people associated with Apple. I don’t know what it is but I think people are not wrong to describe it as a cult like mentality sometimes. But they notoriously do not like any criticism no matter how polite or how valid.

Halfway through I thought you were describing Linux fanatics like myself, and so had to reread the comment a couple of times.

For the thousandth time - yes objective reality exists, but this is a terrible idea because the core problem becomes; who gets to decide what objective reality is? And no, I'm not kidding. Some things seem obvious, but people tend to forget obvious things, especially during periods of mass psychosis.

I can tell you one thing: If Nazis have full rights and privileges, you will eventually end up in a world where the answer to "who gets to decide what objective reality is?" is "The Nazis". And they will not care that you think censorship is a bad idea.
