  • Most people cope like you are here but it’s honestly weird to see someone who is seemingly so self aware but also encourages this ignorance.

    Remaining ignorant of these problems doesn’t make them go away or make anyone any less complicit in perpetuating them.

    It’s worth considering that it’s possible to eat without harming animals and it’s possible to have a cell phone without child slavery.

    Just like you’re not exposed to the child slavery that makes your cell phone possible, and that’s good for your psyche.

    Not knowing at all is one thing. Choosing to be willfully ignorant is another.

    But if you don’t like that, be vegetarian.

    Yeah I agree.









  • It’s really hard for me to understand how iOS is better in this sense. The only way to get this app is via the app store and the ONLY way to use the app store is be registering yourself with apple. Seems to me that you are tracked either way.

    IMHO the devs probably wrote this in Swift and just don’t have experience working with android. Whole thing/story is just off IMO.

    I’m really just sceptical about the whole thing being closed source really.




  • Ok so I’ll just focus on dual booting since there are other thorough replys here.

    I really recommend that you DO dual boot but only in a specific way.

    When people say “Dual Boot”, this can mean two very different things.

    A common way to dual boot is to have windows and Linux exist on the same drive by partitioning the drive and installing a boot manager. I strongly advise against this. It’s not worth the risk and pain.

    Just install linux on a totally new drive and select it as the boot drive from bios. Leave you windows drive untouched.

    Linux is much better than it ever has been. There is a very good chance it can do everything you want. But, especially as someone running a business, there will be times when you just need to get something done and will want to fall back to what you know. These times often lead to people giving up and rolling back to windows in a panic.

    Just leave yourself a way to instantly and effortlessly fall back into windows as needed and eventually you will end up doing that less and less. Until you don’t do it at all and the windows drive gets wiped for more Linux storage.
