Right, then play the one or two games on it that don’t suck and never touch the thing again.

From a non-american’s perspective this question is just baffling.

Is high-school that bad of an experience for you guys? Where I come from that’s one of the best times in your life, when you get to hang out with friends and have little responsibility, etc.

About homelessness, that’s another crazy one. People need to have a home and need friends and human interaction. Sleeping in your car without ever interacting with anyone is not a way of life.

Others have also mentioned that prison without people is solitary confinement and that is known to literally drive people mad.

It’s always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it’s relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don’t necessarily care about. Of course it’s going to be a mess.

A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don’t want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It’s already difficult as it is currently.

Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a “grind for 4 years and it’s done” project.

There’s human fossils where it’s clear they poured molten bronze or something into a mans skull to patch the broken bone. Using metals to mend bones has been a practice since ever basically.

Yes, and it was my first job out of university. Incredible. It has set the standard for me. Everyone extremely polite, restrained, no oversharing, no politics discussions in the office, no drama. People would just gravitate towards those that shared their views and would have coffee breaks at different times than other groups. Everyone was painfully aware of how bad these things can get, so we all made an effort to keep the environment light.

I just block everything that has the words “news” or “meme” in them. That already avoids you 90% of bad news and disgrace.

People who use spaces are not taping space space space space space space space space. Their tapping the tab key all the same.

Wow, super newsworthy. Even included some bs about “colorful language”. Can’t let a thing like that go by without trying to entice some internet drama.

Indeed there are.

Option 3, final answer.

Good, I already don’t answer the phone anyway.

Yeah and scaring the shit out of grandpa doesn’t alter the timeline, as you know.

Mate, just make sure you’re not getting into trouble with all that positive thinking, ok? Take care.

Good, write another one of these in a couple of months instead of stalking her and you’re set.

But really, you’re young, that’s how these things go. Don’t overthink it.

No one cares. Adoption of operating systems in the real world is not done based on popularity charts. Those only serve for memes and flamewars.
