Linux: hard of hearing
Windows: sounds great

[Joel]

The majority of space used on my SSD is music. It's the only thing
I've really collected, from downloading, I used to pirate movies a
lot, but it's a forgotten thing, if I (rarely) want to watch one I'll
rent it or buy it. Using Realtek audio under Windows is better than
Linux, I can acknowledge, but there's nothing wrong with it under
Linux, it's just more ordinary 24 bit 192 KHz sound, it doesn't have
the presence of whatever Win10/11 does to it. I'm very discerning of
audio differences, and I can assure you, Linux just works with what
you have, if it's good gear, as is *standard* today, it'll sound
excellent under Linux.

You might want to return to cola and share whipping boy duties with Joel
Crump. He gives as good as he gets, whereas you mostly just silently
absorbed endless abuse. Did you take it out on yourself later?

Remember when your wife beat your ass because you slung 'cunt' around on
cola? I do.

You're getting old, fella. Retired from your career-long Windows job yet?

We all are.

His July statement was “I'm getting near retirment time,…”

Which was followed by a complaint about Microsoft. Obsessed much? /s
Sure, corporate offices do extensively use Windows, and now also Teams,
and there’s always going to be some aspects of “awful” from a user perspective
(especially from old dogs) as well as from an IT perspective.. along with good
points too: there’s no free lunch, for some interests will invariably be in conflict
(e.g. freedom vs security). Some will choose to apply corporate perspectives &
solutions for their home IT, others won’t. Comes down to resources & priorities.

Ha, ha! You hit the nail right on the fucking head!

This guy is TRULY a demented idiot. He is nothing
more than a one-trick pony that was hired by corporate
dumb-bells to "program" their cockamamie spreadsheets
and dashboards. Based upon this piddly diddly "experience"
he actually believes that he is the ultimate authority
on issues of computer operating systems.

It would be hilariously funny if it were not so disgustingly
pathetic.

The truth is that this idiot would drop out of any
university computer science course within two days,
if not two hours. He is a total, complete, and ultimate
digital failure.

Yet he will continue to spew his worthless and empty
judgments about GNU/Linux until his dying day -- which
I can only hope is very soon.

GNU/Linux represents to him the unattainable world
that he could never enter (although his innate stupidity
prevents him from ever realizing this).

He should be castigated and reviled, but he is actually
a truly pathetic figure and ignorant of his own abysmal
stupidity.

I post this to allow Usenet denizens to be forewarned.

A spreadsheet was involved in every decision to hire then quickly fire
your underperforming ass.

The world runs on information. It has to be captured, granularized,
cleaned, summarized and professionally presented with as little effort
as possible on the user's part, preferably with click-n-drool GUIs.
They paid me to make that happen.

Contrary to what you ignorantly believe, not everyone is willing to or
should have to learn SQL and do their own data extraction.

Pathetic is baked into everything you do. You know that.

If your computing skillz were 1/2 what you claim they are, you wouldn't
have to:

1) come here and faux brag about being asked to make code contributions
to major FOSS projects (Gimp, ImageMagick), and lie to them that
you're too busy.

2) desperately and repeatedly lie that you're a:
- Perl guru
- C programmer extraordinaire
- Assembly language genius

You're NONE of those. You're a programming nincompoop.

Notice Smellzzzzz (Branimir) doesn't brag about his formidable
programming talent. Ever. He just owns it, and he schools you whenever
you open your piehole.

What's wrong with you? I don't understand lying braggarts like yourself
or Rex Ballard. Momma praised you too much? Or not enough?

Linux just seems to attract demented people. cola has seen more than
it's fair share of outlandish liars thru the years - one of the Linux
wackos here once claimed he could cover 220 miles in 8 hours... on a mtn
bike, on public streets.

If they're worthless, why do you get so upset and frustrated?

> GNU/Linux represents to him the unattainable world

'unattainable'? You must mean those Linux jobs that are always out of
your reach.

You're delusional about that hobbyist dreck and the skill it takes to
install, run and maintain it.

I always get a chuckle when some GuhNoo program says "Installing 157 of
150 updates" or reporting 17,000,000 terabytes of memory is in use.

The kualitee is breathtaking.

Anytime anyone says something that DuFuS doesn't like they're instantly
"liars." So take what he says about COLA posters with a grain of salt.

When they say something untrue - such as your stupid lie about Windows
requiring multiple reboots to install applications - they're instantly
liars.

I never looked for a Linux equivalent but I'll admit Microsoft Power BI is
the one tool I'd consider letting a middle management type use to create
his own click'n'drool graphics. I was impressed.

It's more than SQL though. Even before that point you need to figure out
what you want to see and what data is needed to get the result. In other
words, analysis needs an analytic mind and they are in short supply as far
as I can tell. Without that knowing the nuances of a left outer join ain't
going to do nothing for you.

That's 27.5 miles/hr. Brad Wiggins road an hour course of almost 34 miles.

So the speed is not out of the question; but the duration sure is. Hella
calories burned!

On my steel road bike I can hold around 20 mph on the flat if I work hard. But
I'm an old bastard, and tend to average around 15 mph.

As opposed to Windows, where you can have perfectly functional hardware and
drivers that work just fine - until you get a new version of Windows, at
which point the drivers cease to work. Often this is followed by the
vendor providing drivers for the new version of Windows - but only for
newer hardware, leaving you otherwise perfectly functional hardware as
paperweights.

At least in Linuxland, if the thing works, it is almost guaranteed to keep
on working. Such deletions of functionality are rare.

[RabidPedagog]

I can't argue with that. If hardware ever stops working, it's because it
is archaic to a point that it is impossible that anyone would still be
using it.
