You know if you invest all your winnings into all the companies that buy your stuff so that they can buy more of your stuff, you are actually not generating any winnings.

I mean companies could probably already create perfectly good kernel level anticheat on Linux if they really wanted to through eBPF programs.
That would not require permanent changes to the Kernel and games would only need root rights at install time. (Like most software already does)
I wouldn’t even have a problem with that kind if a solution.

I kept a dual boot windows 7 around for a loooong time. I booted it up like once every 2 years or something.

If you have a look at phoronix.com (probably the best linux news site) you can find loads of articles on linux gaining 0.2% of performance in some superspecific workload.
The Linux performance is what happens when thousands of people do these kinds of micro improvements for decades.
In comparison Windows is what happens if everyone follows the new cool trend and tries to lamd the next big thing.

- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 5 weeks ago:
Really you linked article is not very good in my opinion. It just recounts some common ‘wisdom’ without providing any actual data.
Sure, if you got scammed and your cable is not actually a functioning cable, then anything can happen.
However that does not change the fact that any USB-C cable has to support 60W charging.
- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 5 weeks ago:
Literally any USB-C cable supports charging with 60W.

Note however that this is not the case for those USB-A to USB-C cables.

- Comment on Clock logic 2 months ago:
The numbers on the clock actually make a lot of sense.
12, 24 and 60 are highly composite numbers (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number).
Imagine using numbers in a world where most people have no real understanding of fractions.
That is also the reason why you see the same or similar numbers as common screen refresh rates. 24, 48, 60, 120 and 240.
The 12 hour clockface design is that way because it is a similar design to that of a sundial, so people did not need to learn a new way to read the time. This also meant that for readibility reasons it was beneficial to only have 12 numbers.

It has been done and it is called swatch time.

Technically you are not wrong with what you are saying, however you still miss all the important points.

Its total bullshit to place a dystopian organisation so close to the center of a utopian society. It basically calls the whole society into question.

Einstein.
He was a generally great guy and had very progressive social views, so it would be fun to talk to him about the current state of the world.
Also a lot of his theories around relativity and theories of quantum physics have been proven recently. It would be amazing to see his mind be blown when he realises both sides were right and what that means for how a theory of everything needs to look like.

Except for the fact that linux is even better at running those old apps from other vendors by now. Try running Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 software under linux with wine.
