Or a Fußpils :)

Dont know, but i had to go that route.

And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.

Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i

1. Opened up a browser
2. Went to the website
3. Entered a password
4. Watched the stream.

On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”

I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.

I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.

Get angry, frustrated and ask someone who knows. And because more people are using Windows, chances are, they will find the answer way quicker. Also, most programs already run on windows.

Like when i wanted to set up my Proton Drive on Windows, i just downloaded it and started it.

On Ubuntu, i had to write a systemd.service to get the program to autostart on starting my machine. Which was fun, but it isnt for a lot of people.

The year of linux will never come because a lot of people wanna boot up their pc and have it work. Just fire up a program and have work, without looking up workarounds and clis and other stuff.

I made the jump just this month but i can totally understand if someone doesnt wanna do this.

Unfortunately, his UG work in the field of linguistics turned out to be really bad.

Universal Grammar states that all of the knowledge about languages is already in your brain when you’re born. The only thing that happens in language aquisition is figuring out which parameters are in what state: If your mothertongue is German, then the parameter “has case system” is switched to “yes” and the parameter “has tone system” is switched to “no”.

The idea is that there is some parameter that is set to yes in ALL languages. But everytime such a parameter is put forward, we find that it isnt the case actually.

The next problem is its eurocentrism. Languages, through the lens of UG, all have to have similar parameters as Indo-European languages. Whenever languages do not fit that model, the first instinct in UG is to press it into that model, which leads to stuff like invisible affixes, invisible words and even invisible subjects.

Instead of analyzing a language on its own, forming new categories to understand the mechanics of the language, UG tries its hardest to computerize and systematize languages.

Japan had been holding out for a positive response from Soviet Union. The delusional high command thought they could craft aj alliance against the US. After the USSR invaded, the leadership went into a tail spin. It would have been a matter of days before they would have surrendered.

The US did not want the USSR to push deeper into Manchuria and Korea, so they dropped the a-bombs.

An invasion wasnt necessary. A blockade and a week of fighting on the continent by the USSR would have sufficed.

Bukharin, Rykov, Tukhachevski, Ryutin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Tomsky, Smirnov, Ter-Vaganyan, Eidemanis, Blyukher…

I could go on for pages. Men, who had ensured that the Soviet Union even existed and who were executed on Stalin’s orders.

Have you ever visited .grad or even just .ml?

In before they claim that dessalines isnt a communist.

As far as tankies are concerned, everyone not glazing Stalin or Mao is a shitlib or a centrist.

Most germans knew about the deportations, the torture and murder.

It wasnt just the jews that disappeared, but also your grocer, who was active in the KPD or your former village mayor, who belonged to the SPD or your friend, who made a joke on the tram and got executed.

My grandparents and great-grandparents knew. Just like zionist israelis.

They are in this thread

Neat

Faked a narrative so convincingly that the partner really thought something (i guess) terrible has happened.

You know, like when War fo the Worlds was aired for the first time, people really thought aliens had attacked the US.
