  • What I see time and time again are people saying “I HAVE TO use Windows at work, but I don’t use it at home”.

    So, logically that means Windows is losing market share to Mac and Linux, right?

    Well, no. What I see over the past 20 years is that people just stopped buying PCs for personal use.

    At this point, it really feels like if you’re over 55, you’re in the minority if you own a PC. If you’re younger than 30, you’re in the minority if you own a PC.

    And for 30-55 year olds, it’s simple. You grew up with PCs, so you’re used to them. Everyone else just sees it as “that thing we use at work”

    So, no. People dropping microsoft from their own personal lives doesn’t mean they switch to linux. It just means they use their cell phone or tablet to browse the web. Because for most people, thats all a pc is anyways. Just a machine to browse the web on.





  • I wouldn’t even call that homophobic to say that even if there hadn’t been evidence. Nobody is saying there’s anything wrong with being on grindr. Well, nobody except the actual conservatives who are on grindr. They really hate their own kind.

    Which is strange, because for all the things people hate conservatives for, being gay isn’t really one of them.






  • The only one I know (and this is 20 year old info, so it may not even still be accurate), in China it’s 12. And women don’t even have the right to say no to sex.

    I thought it was insane. Then years later I learned it’s because China at the time had a 1 child only rule. And every family wanted a boy. So much so that if they had a girl, they’d abandon it in the street, claim there never was a girl, and just abandon her. Then keep going until they got a boy.

    So my takeaway is that in China, they really have zero respect for the existence of women.
