Readit NewsA Fedora Cinnamon Atomic would be a wet dream for me. I'm surprised that wasnt prioritized. Budgie Desktop looks interesting.
Its what I ended up doing.
Really makes me wonder if chatGPT4 could have given me the same answer if I could roll seeds a few times or change the invisible preprompt.
We have 2 online AI that can do logic now, 0 offline :(
If you are only looking at objective metrics, Apple is always going to perform at B and C levels.
If you are looking at fanaticism, they are A++.
Apple's been accused of copycatting practically since the beginning. But if you only copycat, you don't typically last this long. They can always offshore somewhere cheaper if you stand still long enough.
Even chatgpt says they are the best company of all time at marketing.
I mean I have a crappy 7 year old CPU that I use for single threaded dev, and it works for 99% of cases. In the 1% of cases, I threw on multithreading and its fine.
Now my daily driver has a GPU and it unlocks new possibilities.
Its been over 10 years since I've really spent time thinking about a CPU.
Huh? They are among the best. Disney is among Big 5 major movie studios. Lego is top 4 toy companies, largest by revenue among them. Apple is top-3 company in the world by market cap.
Quality is very subjective, but the fact that you personally prefer Baulders Gate to Mario just shows that Nintendo plays it in a different niche, not that latter is somehow objectively worse / has less quality than the former.
In my opinion, what sums up all these companies are the things they don’t do:
- they don’t focus on “power users” or similar niche segments, unless these segments gain enough popularity
- they don’t cater to cheaper segments of mass market
- they don’t build their business models around copying competitors
- they don’t delegate or outsource critical pieces of their value chain
And these companies pump the marketing and psychology tricks to an 11/10.
We could use objective quality metrics, but that would embarrass these groups. Why is it all of these groups are not the objectively the Top? They are B- when you use objective metrics.
Play a Nintendo game start to finish, you will be very hard pressed to find ANY bugs or glitches. Like you have to hunt really hard to try to find them, they are usually an extremely polished experience. The same cannot be said for most other developers. I LOVE BG3, but it's certainly not as bug-free as a Nintendo game. Same with their hardware + system software, it never crashes, and has a very controlled "walled garden" feel.
There's a reason people use the term "Disney-quality animation". Because it's extremely polished and looks miles better than the competition. Watch the Family Guy episode where the drew part of the episode in Disney style and you can see the difference in action.
Has this ever been true? Or maybe its true, but the games are so mediocre that no one cares that 'Pong doesnt have any bugs'.
We need to keep our data in Denmark and become less dependent on American companies (and especially Microsoft/Google). But the change needs to be led by IT professionals who care about usability and know better than forcing Linux and LibreOffice down the throat of elderly office workers.
One approach is to identify the business processes they are using Microsoft/Google apps for and then offer the entire process through well-designed web apps hosted in Denmark.
Fedora? Yes please.
LibreOffice is downright terrible, please do not lump it into a problem of OS replacements. I'm 100% convinced there is some M$ plant that deliberately makes the GUI bad. I still use it, and I use Google's.
It's wrong-headed of legislators to try to narrow the ecosystem, and restrict the axes along which companies can distinguish themselves. Fundamentally it should be the market that chooses, not legislators. If consumers want locked-down, appliance-style devices (and they seem to), why is that an invalid offering?
If the thesis is that legislators know what consumers want better than consumers (or Apple) then I wholeheartedly disagree.
Just dont actually measure either of these. I'm a bit afraid to talk important things in front of iphones given their atrocious security record.
Also you mentioned quality, but I don't see any CUDA/Nvidia on their platforms. They might advertise quality, but they are closer to B- quality. Please forget the butterfly keyboard white-washing campaign or 'you are holding your phone wrong'.
