On the left: a cultured, informed, politically active and socially-minded thinker who influenced a generation and changed computer science.
On the right. some code-monkey who wrote a tiny piece of the first guy's operating system but somehow got famous because he's a loudmouth.
what purpose
>>54226738
Because rms is a genius and he deserves an appreciation thread.
There's been a lot of rms and GNU bashing threads lately here, so getting the record straight is important.
>>54226674
On the left: Greek philosopher genius.
On the right: smart Aryan superman.
It's GNU+Linux, not GNUvsLinux, dumbass. Anyone engaging in flame wars on this topic is either a shill or an idiot.
When will Microsoft stop Windows 7 support and FORCE users to move to Windows 10?
Users are generally DUMB and don't know what's good for them that's why they constantly have viruses and computers slowing down all the time.
>>54226634
i'm running arch.
>>54226649
I'm a Vegan and I do Crossfit and I'm also an Atheist.
I use 7 and as soon as my computer forces a 10 install, it's hammer time
sledge hammer time
or gentoo idgaf anymore
So what's the fastest, snappiest, linux browser that isn't text based and has adblock?
chromium / iridium or some version of poor ol' firefox?
Midori is quite nice but not certain if the placebo effect is in effect.
Any thoughts?
>>54225334
Enjoy your botnet.
Is best synonymous with fastest? I don't know
>>54225366
Let the botnet flow through you....
unless you have any other alternatives
>>54225396
Well if you enjoy watching everything render slowly when going to a new page, or the good ol white pages inbetween loads, then I guess best isn't synonymous with fastest
>be at university
>connect to campus network
>"sorry you must have an up-to-date antivirus to connect"
What the fuck do I do? I use Linux so I don't want to install any botnet and they don't accept Common Sense.
Serves you right for being an autistic nerd virginal LOONIX user.
Ask for genuine Microsoft software.

this pasta gave me the shits
If you don't know your way around, you don't belong on /g/.
/g/ is for the finest /g/entoomen only.
Why is UI so hard to design?
Literally can be done with pen and paper with no artistic abilities
>>54225015
Because it requires logic just like programming, although programming can have a fixed set of rules. UI Design involves human subjectivity, which isn't rigid, so it's a challenge to find something that's pleasing for the majority of people.
>>54225015
Because it implies that you know what the user needs, which implies empathy, which you obviously lack being the usual command line munching autist.
Should I make one, /g/?
>>54224511
if you want to
yes
/thread
>>54224511
No, because any pc or laptop can play stupid gameboy games.

Bye bye Lennart.

OpenRC on arch? Why not just run gentoo like a real man.
>>54223985
Because AUR.
>>54223763
Nice.
ITT: Throwback to when /g/ actually made things.
They failed, but we made things.
I'm talking about the site with the beet icon (you know the one), I'm talking about /g/itcoin, about fedoracoin and all those other beautiful wrecks.
Pic related, just saw this one posted on HN.
Fuck, I remember the beet one, what was it called
Diaspora.
It lasted what, three weeks?
>>54223616
bump, anyone remember the name?
Is the Singularity the religion of the technological age?
Does /g/ believe in it? When do you think it will happen? 2045?
What's supposed to happen in 2045? Is this another end of times thing?
>>54222872
I think it will happen eventually. That a computer will have learned enough about the world that we can instruct it to find the best solution to our problems. I mean, it's not much different from using Google Maps to ask for the quickest way to go somewhere, except it's with more data.
If we'd ask it to improve itself then it will.
>>54222872
It had already happened age ago and your brain is stucked in a simulator you can't escape... Trying to escape it will end up destroying your brain...
Singularity is a meme thing and will never happen to you because it happened yet for others...

THIS ARTICLE IS OVER A YEAR OLD YOU FUCKTARD
Isn't it time for your street shitting break, Pajeet?
>The life of a thousand Indian CS graduates, copy and pasting stale memes to /g/ all day for Microsoft and convincing nobody
>Installed Debian
Graphics drivers so fucked up I couldn't even see what I was doing in order to fix it.
>Installed Xubuntu
Just werks
.. And is Debian is supposed to be a hassle-free distro. Tell me again why people use distros that are even more prone to shit for their desktop OS instead of just installing comfy Xubuntu (Or other comfy distros: *Buntu, Manjaro, Sparky, Deepin etc.)
>inb4 Amazon botnet
>inb4 muh free(as in FOSS)dom
>>54221690
Are you using a fucking TNT Riva or something?
>>54221705
750ti.
I had the same problem with OpenSUSE as well. It does however seem to work on my older monitor.. but I'm not using that shit
>>54221690
don't load into x and just install drivers through console retard
I program on my mac and love the UI. What is /g/'s hate towards them?
>>54221485
I don't hate Macs, I love my rMBP.
>>54221485
Because my mom ignored my technical advice and instead bought a Macbook that my sister recommended. Now I feel threatened in my role as the main technical advisor in the family.
