  • The main difference is the most important thing for gaming. Less than half the CU’s of the X (just below 6600 and 6800 desktop GPUs respectively).

    Plus there’s the ram 8gb vram on the S vs 10 on the X is not that much of a deal but having the remainder for CPU usage being 2GBs is shocking.

    Especially since it appears system software on the X occupies around 2,5 GB. Obviously they must have restricted that for the S but still the RAM available is ridiculously low.

    Finally third party developers are not required to figure out how to run their games on Xbox unlike Microsoft. For all it’s technical marvel FS2020/4 is not a killer app, especially on consoles.





  • I don’t know about Italian but I can tell you Greek Americans plainly can’t speak Greek.

    Same with ‘ethnic’ cuisine, they don’t put lettuce in “Greek” salad because that’s how it was originally but because that’s what was available and accepted in the US.

    Its also far more likely that very regional or even just family traditions/customs/recipes got attributed to whole nations rather than an elite managing to wipe it out from the original group.



  • Why does FUTO have to shoot itself in the foot?

    There is as far as I can tell no new actual license just a payment scheme and some shaming functionality. They even offer you the software if you don’t pay. Remember the GPL allows them to require payment to give you the software, they just can’t prohibit someone else giving you the software.

    However calling unpaid copies unlicensed is incorrect, they are licensed under the GPL (just like paid ones are).

    They should remove references to licensing and display something like “This instance of Immich has been paid/not been paid for.” Call the key PRODUCT key.

    Sure some find the “pay or shame” scheme distasteful but it is not against the GPL which allows commercial use.





  • You just can’t fathom that most people just want to use the OS their PC came with.

    No they don’t they want to get a task done. The vast majority of users doesn’t know what an OS or a browser is never mind that there are alternatives.

    These people don’t want to struggle with the incompatibilities that come with Linux systems.

    Most people are simply not aware of Linux systems let alone linux system incompatibilities.

    Troubleshooting Linux systems is a daunting task for most casual users.

    No shit, troubleshooting windows is a daunting task for most casual users. They either nag/pay someone to try and fix it or simply cope with it. And windows fucks up all the time, especially for most users.

    It’s great that you use Linux because fuck greedy corporations. But stop being so uppity about it. This toxic behavior is what steers people away from Linux forums.

    People don’t just randomly get on Linux forums, especially linux memes forums. Nor is my previous comment in any way or form toxic. I just pointed out the blind spot of windows fans, you just can’t handle criticism.


  • Windows always gets a pass from it’s fans. They also tend to overestimate average users’ proficiency with computers (meaning windows) way more than linux users.

    Most windows users would be afraid to change stuff on CP or Settings never mind opening up policy editor or registry editor.

    They regularly fail to install applications on windows (a big part of them would probably not even try) or install something different than intended.

    Usually they end up running million unnecessary things on startup, having completely unresponsive systems. They just shrug and cope with it till they pay someone to format their computer or they buy a new one.

    The controller had a weird and unfortunate shape. It’s still miles better than any PS controller due to Sony’s refusal to put the stick on a natural position for the the thumb.

    Sega and then Microsoft (after the first huge iteration) got both general shape and analog positions right.

    Cartridge is an indefensible choice, it was perhaps borne of Nintendo’s falling out with Sony that prejudiced them against CD. Nintendo probably liked that they were more difficult to pirate as well, gamers not as much evidently. The Gamecube going optical but with a bizarre reversed mini-dvd is even worse.

    There’s also a complete absence of software from your post, whatever it’s shortcomings Nintendo and Rare pushed some amazing games on it which people remember fondly.
