That sounds like such a massive failing on Epic’s part to make an attractive launcher/platform.

I’m not shitting on “people moving to linux”. I’m shitting on people in general, and you know I’m right, so get out of here with this accusatory misreading trash.

Reread the conversation. You don’t seem to underatand much…

lol Your attitude is what is cultish. People used to make fun of KDE for having their own apps for everything. Of course it was usually light ribbing.

Like I said, recreate the wheel if you want. I won’t be cheering you on.

Keep proudly throwing around that ignorance while people are explaining how you are wrong to your face…

It’s not flattering.

There is no better chance than 100%.

This has already been clarified. You are wrong to take it that way. Period.

You are choosing to ignore the rest of the definitions. Why do you want to be such an uninformed moron?

People or corporations. Unless it’s an emerging market with limited supply, it should be viewed as market manipulation.

Literal libraries of punch cards.

What does a vagina have to do with libraries…?

I think repository makes more sense than library. A ‘repo’ is also a large storage of something that is very often indexed and catalogued for easy retrieval as well. It also at least ‘feels’ more appropriate for something usually remotely accessed, like package manager repos.

Of course, my well has been thoroughly poisoned on this topic, but I generally agree with others that an analogy doesn’t and shouldn’t have to carry through all the way.

I don’t get this. Probably because I don’t grab those ‘free’ games from Epic. but… Why buy the game on steam if you already have it? Can you not play it on a steam deck through steam all the same?

It was always going to. People are fundamentally lazy. Until something becomes a need, far too many are going to sit around and whine instead.

I did back in the XP days. Long, loooong ago…

Without is not a negative.

The article basically says they should try.

“Not what we want” is not going to save you when the topic article is saying exactly that.

Again, the definition I meant IS in the dictionary.

I’m fine with clarifying, but this jouvenile obstinance to learning a new meaning of a word is just pathetic.

Look. Look at definition 3. It IS in the dictionary.

Just because you think words have one meaning doesn’t mean all words have one meaning.

Also the first sentence of wikipedia:

A sect is a subgroup of religious, political, or philosophical belief system, typically emerging as an offshoot of a larger organization.

Where in any of those definitions does it describe a sect as a “manipulation machine”?

Holy fuck, did any of you damn children take any sociology classes?? This is fucking middleschool knowledge…

Nah, the line of thinking is unnecessary under capitalism. Capitalism will ensure the greediest piece of shit wins. Modern healthcare means idiots survive. It’s a known near constant that intelligent people have fewer kids.

It’s all but guaranteed when the norm is to not pay attention to quality. and if the constant push for shitty low quality “AI” slop in everything as of recent is any indication… yeaaaa we’re fucked.

The user never sees dependencies … until they do.

Go ahead and try to use different Python products that require different versions yet don’t use a venv.

Similarly, there is a reason average users hated Java even while it was heavily adopted for back ends.

They care if the thing you just described, potential interference with normal operation, happens!

Yes, exactly. Like exactly what happens when external dependencies conflict.

Again, you are yet again projecting your personal ignorance and preference on everyone. I’m “insulting” you because you are using an assinine avenue of thought.
