Microslop hits again.

I think the biggest problem Europe has (besides too weak military) is how slow this freaking bureaucratic apparatus is.

Something happens - countries start to discuss how to react, weigh pros and cons, discuss again, Hungary votes against - discuss again... oh it's 2028 already.

Maybe it's Mozartella?

I might get downvoted for that, but I think Europe should start working closer with China.

Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn't have such horrendous consequences because they don't have a two party system.

IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That's the only way we end up with decision makers that don't just do stuff to get voted again.

I probably hate Microsoft roughly as much as most people here but in a lot of ways Windows is way more polished than Linux. The second you try something "unconventional" in Linux the shit is going to hit the fan. Fractional scale DPI - half the apps crap their pants. On screen keyboard - and don't get me started with OSK over Firefox in kiosk mode (for example in touch screen settings). Also try to make a custom shortcut on your gnome desktop to run some application with some arguments without writing config files in random directories you have to Google and reloading some configs via a terminal.

Microsoft really went downhill fast and certainly adds a lot of crap to windows lately, but sadly in the Linux world we don't have 1-3 well polished distros, we have hundreds of them. All good at one or two things, but suck at everything else. There a so many options the choice alone is probably the biggest reason everyday people will not switch to Linux if their device doesn't already come with Linux. Even people thinking about switching end up with analysis paralysis because everybody tells them stuff like, try it - if you don't like it try something else. As if they have nothing better to do than trying Linux distros all day long.

Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣

The car is bad because of it's inherent design flaws and bad UX.

Robo Taxi, "not so full self driving" and similar things don't make the car bad but show the practices Tesla uses to lure people into buying a car. By promising features they can't deliver. Same with Tesla Semi, new Roadster, etc.

About hating Elon. Hate is a strong word but he is clearly a faschist moron. That doesn't make cars technically bad but I'd like to hear some arguments how a moron being in charge helps the company make better cars.

And regarding science, there are some papers that show that cars with screens are way less safe because you have to look away to interact with it and that "glorified cruise control" too because you should pay attention because the car has too many flaws but in practice people stop paying attention.

The swasticar manufacturer has the most advanced tech car?

Their cars are a joke. Opening glove boxes through menus. Getting rid of almost all buttons to just install a giant monitor in the middle?

And don't get me started about their full self driving robo taxis next year since ages ago. At no point in time (even before the rest of the world caught on that Elon is a complete moron) was buying a Tesla a good idea.

What are the "other reasons"? Thought about trying it.

[–] wischi@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Like Microslop Word or Microslop Excel?

Though the phrase "prompt engineer" is so funny. Has literally nothing to do with engineering at all. Like having a PhD in "Google Search" 🤣
