I highly disagree with recommending regular users to use virtual machines, it defeats the whole purpose, at the end of the day, you are still using windows, and on top of that, it adds additional complexities that can only create frustration to users.

Is that trustworthy? I don't really want to go from Adobe spying to a random russian hacker spying on me.

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

True, but my point is that if a country decides not to follow one of the directives, they can just leave if they want, they are agreements that they want to be part of, they are not merely imposed by EU. Nothing like the US and their federal government.

This is like saying that marriage and a double match of tennis are the same type of union or follow the same principle, no, they are not.

Are they mutually exclusive though? Plenty of love stories are tragedies, just to mention a few: Titanic, Anna Karenina, The Notebook, Love Story...

I would even say, most tragedies are love stories.

They were not "Italians" though, they were part of the Venetian republic, which now is part of Italy.

This is like saying Pocahontas was from the US just because she was born where is now the state of Virginia.

I use chatgpt for coding (millennial). You still need to know how to code though, because 50% of the time it doesn't work properly. You need to explain the nature of your variables, and the overall process you want to achieve. But I still save a good amount of time, because now I don't need to remember the specific syntax for a particular function, and it has saved me reading documentation because in can tell how some functions work by context.

Not learning how to code because of ai is like not learning math because there are calculators, sure, you don't need to know the multiplication tables by heart, but you need to know what multiplication is and how it's used to solve real world pringles.

How does that comment invalidate the previous one? If anything it actually reinforces it. Are you just looking for an excuse to shame someone?

Yeah, they do, that's what living in a society is, not everyone does as you want, and you have to compromise.I have my own choices (in other aspects) which they probably have to live with. But I'm not going to ghost my mum (and close family) just because she uses WhatsApp, that's plain entitlement and immaturity.

I can't contact my mum via msm (not the same country), and are you seriously suggesting email over chat messages? They serve two different purposes.

So you can say Yucatan is Mexico, the same way Ubuntu is Linux. Or the same way people say Windows, instead of Microsoft Windows NT.

OP is technically correct, but that's not how people express themselves in real life, there's an unspoken understanding in the community that when someone says Linux (when talking in a general sense), there's no way they are referring to the kernel only.

I use linux 50% of my time, I'm not going to ditch my job so I can use it 100%, lol. What kind of advice is that for someone who wants to use linux.

On the same boat, I would gladly change, but most of my collaborators still use software you can only use on windows, I could use VMs or emulators, but it usually breaks my workflow anyway.
