Do you correct everyone who says Windows instead of Microsoft Windows NT?

In corporate world, where I think MS makes most of the money, windows is the standard (unfortunately).

It doesn’t matter though, he’s not the president and is not involved in any politicalmatters. Sure, he should be investigated if he did something wrong, but why is that relevant?

People choose policies that might be beneficial in the short term, but very harmful on the long way. For example, restricting immigration might have a favourable short term impact on wages, but in the long term it will stagnate the economy and pensions schemes, and make people even more poor.

So… People who are hungry will vote for whatever brings food to their table today, so they don’t really have a choice, because those policies or politicians are not actually on their side, they are just benefiting from the misery of others.

And this is a clear example of how to keep people away from Linux, nothing push more people out of a community than shamming.

Although that’s true, it’s still an issue. I don’t think anyone is blaming Linux for this, but the issue is still there.

I’ve never had a finger print reader working on Linux.

I don’t agree. I had lots of issues with printers, scanners, cameras, fingerprintreader, styluses. Yes, regular hardware, no issue, peripherals? Different story.

I know this is an issue from the manufacturers, but it’s still an issue.

That’s my point. If he used a copyrighted/copylefted font, he might be in trouble. But he doesn’t get in trouble just for using an unicode character.

That’s a font/design issue, not a character issue. If that were the case, then no one could use letters (or unicode characters) for their logo.

I’ll do it for free if all expenses are paid for me to go to the Olympics. I look like a fool every day, one more day won’t make a difference.

I was also on your boat, until I read this… Take into account this was published before Threads was official. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

And believe it or not, part of this is because people don’t like to pick up the weird looking tomato, or the banana with a few peckles.
