capitalism itself does that pretty well

(thanking it actually wastes energy and money)

An oligopoly is a market in which pricing control lies in the hands of a few sellers. As a result of their significant market power, firms in oligopolistic markets can influence prices through manipulating the supply function.

I’m considering Macs and Chromebooks to be competitors. Maybe they aren’t since those systems are very locked down, but eh, still shitty and not much practical difference IMO.

wait what did he do? did he become a chud?

I mean, advocating for a twm and terminal for normies is a bold move, but sure.

as long as it gets people to try it and see its not bad.

i checked the brazilian dell website and they offer ubuntu as a choice. i’m not sure if they are doing it by their own choice or by force of law though.

bolsonaro gutting this law wouldnt surprise me, but i don’t see it as relevant enough (at least right now) for them to even bother glossing over this tbh.

nowadays the install process on ubuntu consists of opening the driver app, selecting the nvidia driver, waiting around 3 minutes and rebooting when prompted.

sometimes things do break, but the install process itself is rarely the issue anymore, thankfully.

i wanted to say we still do but im not sure. its been a while since i shopped for laptops.

in brazil, we used to have a law forcing this to be a thing. back in the laptop days, it used to be reasonably common for people to buy one without with linux, and pirate windows later to save money. or because it was plain cheaper.

it turns out brazil fomented a big userbase for linux for a while there. free market my ass, microsoft is an oligopoly. if this ever gets widespread i’m pretty sure adoption will grow for the simple fact people will at least get to fucking try it. microsoft wouldnt take it kindly though.

sssssshhhhhhhhhhh don’t type this out loud

wonder if the radio button defaulted to the “Made in Asia” position

thats a good point. users heavily favor the default option, or rather they seldomly change it.

it can definetly turn exasperation into amusement.

I dunno, but I heard everybody clap.

I always hear the mean voice in my head clap sarcastically when I find the phone on my hand, that must have been it.

We can think of a better system that the USSR or USA.

The USSR was literally the first time socialism has ever been tried. Of course we can improve upon and refine the socialism soviets came up with, using the obvious power of hindsight.

Socialism was never meant to be some static ideal truth dogma, and misrepresenting it that way is a strawman.

I also find it kind of weird to lump both like they are the same thing. The US is the bloodiest empire in the world by far.

capitalism is relentless in always settling for the cheaper way, no matter how or what the consequences are.

hell yeah. libs think shuffling burgeois corporate representatives around will make things any different.

so thats why prince looks disappointed there

i dont get it?

tbf animaniacs had jokes that flew over my head until i was older.

lol i can say almost all of this for myself, and it wouldn’t narrow it down where i’m from. fuck the us empire and its apologists.
