  • Or Windows just works on so much different hardware. You can build a PC with the weirdest mix and match of hardware, and Windows will just… work. Also I bought a Microsoft sidewinder wheel from 1998 from a thrift store for $8, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, and it just worked. Nothing special was needed. 1998 hardware literally plug and play on Windows 10 (and I’ve tested it on 11, and it works the same).

    You can install MacOS on non-Apple hardware, but you need to buy very specific hardware, and download very specific hacks, to make it work.

    Even Linux only works on specific hardware. This entire thread has people talking about how broken Linux is on their setups. The suggestions are to buy specific hardware and run very specific versions of Linux.



















  • I don’t care about the open source part. Cool? Not sure why that matters or why you’re focusing on it.

    I’m just saying that using Infinity for Lemmy when you’re not the original dev, without making it VERY CLEAR you’re not the original dev, is scummy.

    So many people think this is the original dev, and it’s not.

    I’m glad it took until other people called him out to talk about it. Should’ve never used it in the first place. Also it shouldn’t take 2+ weeks to change the name. Shady behaviour.
