Both. It's satire.

The "benefit" of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn't like it.

Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?

And all the doom games.

If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?

That's just what they want you to think.

I mean if it was a realistic list around 4 (not sure how many were actually released) of the top ten would be fantastic four films.

This is just a list of "superhero films everyone has seen that were kinda mid". I want a list of the films that were so bad I've not heard of them, because they crashed and burned so spectacularly.

I just went looking for this. Here's a link to the podcast for everyone else: https://pca.st/episode/b8388458-0062-47c5-a259-fae295a45305

It really comes down to what you're used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don't know the tools that haven't been ported there.

For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.

The big obvious thing that you can't get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.

In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there's workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don't need to care about, but I'd rather not bother.

I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn't choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.

I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.

If I wanted more effort I'd still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there's value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.

Although it's federated nature is kinda dying.

If you're not on one of the major providers good luck getting people to see your email.

I'm still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.

Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

It just says can be activated. Not "automatically activates".

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it's just theatre.
