You mean the conspiracy theory that somehow the World Bank isn't there to do it's real job, provide loans to poor countries to aid their development, but instead part of some grand scheme to rob poor countries of their resources?

Because what you claim to be well documented isn't actually objective fact. It's more construing mistakes these institutions definitely did make to be something they very much aren't.

I've been using both for a good while by now, Linux is good but damn I know that's a sacrilege but I still like Windows.

Granted, I heavily customized my Windows install, made all the adjustments I wanted and threw out most of the nagging garbage and my locked down work computer is definitely worse.

Windows just... works most of the time, and it's fluent and does what I want.

At the end of the day, most of the direct user interaction with an OS "directly" is task bar, start menu and file manager. And for all of these things, there's a lot that annoys me on Linux. In Windows, I'm very happy.

Just to give one example. I like the individual entries in the taskbar to fill the entire width dynamically. If there's one entry, it fills the entire taskbar, you get what I mean. On Windows, that's a registry tweak. On KDE, that's basically impossible. Like, I'm sure somewhere in the source code for the panel there's a way to rewrite that, but frankly, that's close enough to "basically impossible" for me.

We've seen this spiel a few times, companies want to move to the cloud and then don't because it's ridiculous and plenty of things are just fine on local machines.

I don't lend this any more credence than all the "we'll all be gaming in the cloud in 10 years" crap when stuff like GeForce Now was popping up.

Why wait until it becomes a problem? The_Donald literally started as a joke brought over from 4chan. It grew and over time it basically went from "too small to do something about it" to "too big to do something about it" (to Reddit admins at least). Why even give these people a platform? We don't have any reason to give them space to grow.

If you step in shit everywhere you go, look under your own shoe.

If you're getting downvoted everywhere you go, maybe your opinions are just shit.

I have a pair of Porta Pros that I take everywhere nowadays, it's actually kinda nice to hear your surroundings and I really don't listen at high enough volumes that others can even notice. They are great!
