Narrow2890··on Windows Copilot's is showing third-party Ads to Windows users
Yeah this is what I meant, Linux on desktop is now stable enough and sufficiently usable to be an actual viable replacement for windows.

Linux is slowly getting better with time, Windows is rapidly getting worse.

I don't, windows fractional scaling is very good, until very recently there was no good solution on Linux, but Plasma implemented a proper solution a while ago and it works about as well as Window's. This was one of the main things keeping me from making the permanent switch.

Windows is dead, there's no good reason for most people to use it as their primary OS anymore. Desktop Linux has proper fractional scaling support (or KDE plasma does anyway) AND doesn't catch fire every five minutes now, now's the time to make the switch.
Narrow2890··on White House warns of ‘unprecedented’ Serbian troop buildup on Kosovo border
Two new members, massive ramp up in European defence spending, Russian turning itself into a Chinese fleshlight with its Ukrainian misadventure, CTSO falling apart, Vietnam buying F16 and hosting Biden, yeah, NATO's doing terribly these days.
Narrow2890··on The case against hiring people from Ivy League schools
Translating to normal person: You shouldn't hire people that aren't at least a bit desperate and ready to be abused as they'll do things like expect fair compensation for doing overtime and won't let you sell them a bridge about how great things will be in 5 to 10 years to break their back with unpaid labour now.

The constant name dropping, the stated preference for people that have debt or are trying to get out of retail jobs, the use of the phrase rockstars all make this sound like it was written by a narcissist.

I'm almost certain the bit about people bringing their parents to an interview is a naked lie or something that happened exactly once.

Narrow2890··on Is an All-Meat Diet What Nature Intended?
Headline ending in question mark = answer is no. I love reading articles from established, prestigious media outlets that are less considered and less informative than years old youtube videos on the same topic made by some 20 something for nothing.
