Who isnt going to go along with it?

Gotta be like 90% of people have never installed an OS because Windows was already on their PC when they bought it.

To them, its part of buying a PC. They don't consider the OS a separate purchase.

If they make this move they're banking on people not noticing until after they've bought a shiny new PC. After that most people will suffer the cost because they already own the PC and its just "easier."

They cater to a rich audience. They want to feel attacked and NYT is obliging them with hyperbole.

So the warm blood flows

Through the large four-chambered heart

Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

Mammal, mammal

Like Han Solo in Star Wars. The "ancient" religion of the Jedi was like... when he was a kid or something.

Thankfully, this was someone else's PC...

I get that, but Windows/Powershell isn't case-sensitive, so you can type it all lowercase if you want (I do).

Linux on the other hand is case sensitive despite most GNU tools defaulting to all lower case. There's definitely a bunch of case-sensitive switches in Linux CLI applications.

There has been optional case-insensitive file system support in Linux for a few years now, though.

It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity.

I see you've never heard of the 90%/9%/1% of social media users.

90% are lurkers. 9% are intermittent posters. 1% are heavy use posters.

It's not that people are shy, it's that literally with a fraction of the userbase Reddit has, that 10% that actually makes posts is just a smaller number of people.

I would rag on Google here, but if you read this entire ~~mastadon~~ nitter thread, other people have already done a golden ass job of taking Google to task for this propaganda.
