WHY DOESN'T MICROSOFT OFFICE WORK ON LINUX
>>107884220Considering the level of competence necessary is ideally a programmer or mathematician, such people are essentially society's priestly class. You want people at least that smart to be in charge of society.
>>107880143use wine or vm if you really need to use microslop office on linux. what the problem?
>>107883948The problem is that any developer good enough to write an excel replacement is never going to need spreadsheets for the kind of stuff non-devs use them for. Giant complex spreadsheets like you're talking about are unmaintainable horrors to them and they will just make a python script or use a database or some shit instead. Excel has a very specific niche due to office workers not having any other tools available to them, in contrast a developer using linux has tons of free and production quality tools available and probably is more comfortable with them. it's an unbridgeable gap.I wouldn't be surprised if the libreoffice word clone fails on huge documents for the same reason, beyond a certain point you should be using markdown or tex rather than trusting your gigantic novel to ms word

>>107886293Yes trying to explain tech shit to Linus is a really fucking bad idea.
>>107886126So what? Do you think it matters at all?You underestimate how easy it is to manipulate people. If the tv tells them that it's porn, it's porn to them. If the tv tells them that now everyone will need to use a digital id to stop this evil porn, people will support this digital id.For fucks sake, since stable diffusion was released every other week mass media warned everyone about how fearsome criminals were making porn of people who literally don't exist and this was abhorrent for some reason, how do you expect people to react when they're seeing ""porn"" of their own children? It's all part of the same control farce, just because you can see it's ridiculous it doesn't mean it won't work.
You don't understand. When someone I don't even know about looks at something with their own eyes in the privacy of their own home it really hurts and upsets me. Why would they do this to me personally.
Talk about VHS tapes.NOW!
>>107876895I'm tecnically late gen X (close enough) and never watched that slop. Looked retarded.
>>107872070Apparently US releases stopped in 2005 but who knows about Korea.
Ok I will share something with you zoomiesSay you're a young lad and you learn one of the VHS movies in your home has a particularly erotic scene in itSo when the family goes out you pop the tape in and you fast forward to the desired scene and start jacking itBut the scene is very short so you have to rewind play rewind play over and over again until you reach completionWell the catch is these are physical operations on a physical medium and over time they cause damage to the tapeSo you end up with a degradation of picture quality in the frames leading up to your fap material which everyone will be able to notice
>>107887701Oh and if you forget to rewind it's even more over.
>>107887743I have a rewinder shaped like a ferrari and looks based.
am I the only one who thinks these phones aren't bad? just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's e-waste. a lot of them ARE, but not all cheap phones are BAD
>>107886879buying last gen often makes sense because many products have a release model where they make a new version every year even if tech hasnt advanced and there's no meaningful improvement. there are often years in phones where 2 consecutive year's models have the same tech with some tiny improvement that doesnt nearly justify the price difference.usually however buying the latest thing in a market where tech is actually moving forward is the best choice.>>107886818if i didnt use the fancier features of my phone this one is perfectly fine. but i have a dock where i put my phone where i can control it with a monitor/mouse/keyboard both at home and at work and the lower end samsungs dont have it
>>107886818Just stop being poor and buy a damn flagship and stop shitting up /g/ with cope threads seeking validation for being poor
>>107886919last two gens are fine, but asking people to buy 4-5yold phones are not it, in any point at anytimeI was like you when I get myself a S10e & S23, thinking I would appreciate the wireless charging and DeX stuff but turns out I barely use them. Then got me thinking I could've spent that money on PC or smth better than a phone that depreciate every 2-3year.
>>107887391ill admit i use dex less then when i first started especially since many apps have desktop versions (whatsapp for example) and there's kdeconnect so i can access the files on the phone via wifi but i use wireless charging all the time . its a massive improvement in ergonomics when you can just pop your phone on a magnetic charger one handed without even looking at it vs having to pick up a cable and stick it in.4-5 yearold stuff is fine in some things like ereaders but in phones/pcs things improved too much over this time
>>107886818cheap phones are for kids and schizos who can generate revenue with their schizo personalities. I doubt you are either.

I want to send as much of a signal as possible, that I don't agree with how the internet is right now. Even if it's just virtue signalling right now, if enough people did it, especially the later, there would be a response eventually. We are their cattle, after all. If shit ever hits the fan for real, then I'm acutely aware it's not enough with an extension an a PFP.

>>107883337based, 80% of what I download is folk
>>107882742>>107886628I'll rant a bit more about this because I feel like it. For me the purpose of building an archive is to compile the best of what was available at the time it was acquired. Sound quality is a subjective thing in addition to bit depths, bitrates, sample rates, codecs, etc. You can say all that shit doesn't matter and you can't tell the difference but if what goes in is garbage what comes out is garbage. If it was mastered in a way that sounds too loud, shrill, uncomfortable to listen to, or weak, dull and lifeless it won't matter what format was used. I gave this example before and I'll give it again:https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/lindas-favorite-digital-versions-of-all-black-sabbath-albums.905049/In the case of Black Sabbath's Paranoid the only truly good digital version has a version of Iron Man taken from a damaged tape. So when I downloaded all the Black Sabbath albums I made a decision to get the best vinyl rip of it instead. It's not some durrr audiofool vinyl always sounds better nonsense. It's a pragmatic decision based on what's available. I know it sounds good and the tape wasn't fucked up when they made the original pressing so it makes sense. It doesn't matter if I convert it to mp3 or opus or what the fuck else. What's going into the encoder is good so what comes out is good. I don't always get to choose which version of an album I get from a streaming service and even if I do the choices will be more limited.
Another thing I want to add. I'd be really surprised if you couldn't find a good sounding digital version of Iron Man somewhere. It's an iconic song so it's probably on a million compilations. At some point someone competent probably had their hands on a tape that was in good shape and did the right thing with it. But imagine trying to stick that into a random 80s CD where everything else came from a different tape and was mastered differently. It would sound kinda jarring when you transitioned between tracks. It's still important to have the whole album in a cohesive form if that's what you want to listen to and I think vinyl is the best option in this case.
stevehoffmantards be like yeah i looooove music and i'm an audiophile then proceed to listen to the same 10 popular albums from the 70s desperately trying to find a version that doesn't sound like shit
>>107887692i just listen to the first CD pressing

>>107887329I am not talking about the singularity nonsense. AGI of human level intelligence would be absurdly capable. Far beyond what an actual human is capable of. Human intelligence is gimped by bad memory, and slow thinking, and limits to attention and drive. You don't need to do anything novel to become the ultimate power on earth, you just need to faster and more reliably than anyone else.
>>107886080Depends whether the AI is benevolent and gives us all resources, or is greedy and kills off any humans it can't make use of as slaves.
>>107887432>you just need to faster and more reliably than anyone else.That's implying that there's isn't a limit to what intelligence can do and that we haven't archived it already by having 8 billions humans doing some thinking.

So this supposed "from scratch" browser is just calling out to code written by humans. And after all that it doesn't even compile!
