Well yes, but no. The older generations (millenials) do this but Gen-Z does not really knowhow to use a computer and often enough doesn’t want to use one. This problem will probably become even worse with the even younger generations.

Do you use different harddrives for your partitions? Because that might be the reason you dont have that much problems. From what I heard windows likes to wipe all boot entries that aren’t windows and are located on the same drive.

Well yes, but if you want to explain why it flopped you devinetively have to mention Elon Musk Teslas sales overall dropped everywhere around the world by up to 50%.

I have no clue what the hell you are talking about.

If you use your own OS it becomes much easier to get exposed to threats, since you do not have the skills, experience and resources to build a modern OS with all The required security measures yourself.

You have the choice between a proprietary OS, where you can be very sure, that the government has backdoors implemented into the OS or between Linux where its much harder to implement any form of backdoor and if one gets introduced it usually gets noticed in no time and gets fixed. If you care about security, Linux is your only option.

The thing is, that these efforts usually get noticed immediately. Last year(?) someone infiltrated the xz project and implemented a backdoor that would have exposed literally everything that has internet access. Xz gets maintained by about 3 or so people and even in such a small project took several years. The funny thing is, that the backdoor got noticed immediately, since the Programm took 2 or so milliseconds longer to start up.

Now imagine how fast a Backdoor in Linux would be noticed and how hard it would be to implement it without others noticing.

Alternatively you can divide by 2, turn it into an int, mtiply it by 2 and check if both numbers are the same.

“What is a Linux?”

The funny thing is, that people always assume that you can fix all kind of stuff just because you work in IT (or just know stuff about IT). In reality 90% of the time I have no clue what the fuck I’m doing and just pressing random buttons and reading the text next to the buttons hoping it fixes the problem.

Just because I Am in IT, that doesn’t mean that I can repair your printer. And even if I could, theres no way I want to do that.

That’s so fucking true. If I’m honest its usually trying to figure out how the fuck something actually is supposed to work. Its either by searching stuff online or changing single lines of code until it finally works.

Absolutely this. Ai can help you learning new stuff but you still have to have the motivation to learn. I recently had to write a parser for an init file in C (which I have never used before) so I thought to myself “let’s ask an Ai, it should get something this basic done right”. Yeah, it didnt work. So I started actually diving into how C works, writing the first lines and also editing an existing Parser I got to fit my use case. If I encountered an Error I tried to fix it and if I couldn’t I would ask an LLM why this Error was happening. This way I learned way more than if the Ai would have actually given me something that worked out of the box. Especially the rewriting and debugging part taught me a lot and the AI was very useful, since it acted like an interactive teacher that could spot the Errors in your code and explain why they appeared.

Ok, fair enough. I also absolutely agree that we shaould have went for nuclear instead of coal, but now its to late and its faster to replace coal with renewables, than replacing it with nuclear.

You know that renewable Energy exists? In the time we would need to replace follils with nuclear we can insted build renewables and Storage capacitys and we would be way cheaper.

I should mention, that building new nuclear reactors is not financially a viable option.

You didnt but the person you replied to

Except that nuclear is not economically viable.

Fair enough with the Stasi. I could see how why, but I Am not capable of comparing the effectiveness of both.

Ah, thanks for the info.

While this is true, there are still various degrees of how much the police is used as a tool of oppression and the shit we see in America is miles away from what we see in Germany.

We did it the best from 1933-1945, but currently we are nowhere near the american police state.
