You're like 20y late with this joke. MS runs their servers on linux nowdays.
They already have WSL and their own Linux distro.
Give them another 5 years and they'll have rewritten their core to sit on top of unix and will have become a simple commercial linux distro. When buying a windows laptop you will be able to click through 5 yes/no promts, unlock the terminal and yum -S gnome-desktop to break free. No dual boot needed.
You know what's the worst part? M$ will be the biggest contributor to the kernel. And that's how linux will die.
OP blocked JS in the browser like a complete caveperson and came here whining.
FK u and your attitude OP. You, and those overly active pensioners is the reason laundry machines still operate on coins.
Your CC got blocked, call your bank and solve it. When everyone else goes to the laundry and doesn't have the right coins they should do exactly what? Take a trip downtown to the bank? Your local cigarettes shop isn't obligated to break you a 20.
Also, explain this to me: I barely use cash and my payments always work. Much less frequently I cannot pay for digital reasons than for "oh fk, I forgot to withdraw cash again". I remember that being a weekly problem. Nowadays I can withdraw a 100 and not worry about cash for two months. What am I doing wrong that digital payments always work for me?
I'm pro universal basic income and a 99% tax after something around a few mil of annual income. I'd generally advocate for a societal system where such wealth accumulation by an individual is impossible.
"Lefties" like you make me sick to my stomach. You can only whine your jealous tears and complain about the housing market. You're the reason everyone thinks the left are a bunch of idiot kids in colorful clothes. In a utopic communist society you'd be leeching off while whining about how everyone keeps working even though it's clearly unnecessary.
Most of you would've failed even with those starting conditions.
If you think you can build a billion-worth company, go and do it. VC money can be secured these days with a half-assed power point presentation. You won't be owning your entire company and someone will make even more money than you, but in just some 10 years you'll make yourself and someone else a few billions. Then you'll have a billion or so in starting capital and you can go become the richest human in existence. Clearly, if you're capable of all those things, you should be already on your way to success instead of complaining on the internet.
The socioeconomic usefulness of the system allowing for such lifepaths has not been debated. Instead the message enviously pointed out that becoming rich is only possible by being rich in the first place. My argument is that if you're capable of taking less than a mil and making billions, there's a system in place already that will allow you to do just that and become famously rich in the process. So, your complaint is invalid. And you're not anti capitalism, you're just jealous.
we got enough political BS all over the platform. But sure, I guess people who don't want to see repeated "capitalism bad" in every community in every post should just leave lemmy.
