Less need for antivirus. Less Windows users than ever. [07:48] DaemonFC PornHub Insights for 2022 (year end), Windows remained stagnant at 64.7% of all desktop hits to their site, but the "Desktop" category fell by 6%. [07:48] DaemonFC Windows is a desktop OS. [07:48] DaemonFC The Mac went from 27.3 to 27.4% of Desktop. [07:48] DaemonFC Linux, Chrome OS (also Linux), and Other remained flat. [07:48] DaemonFC Linux on a PC doesn't require "licenses". Windows does, and with shrinking market, it dies as a money maker. [07:48] DaemonFC Tablet fell by 34% and phone gained 1%. [07:48] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [07:48] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [07:48] DaemonFC Since PC sales are in the dumps, (6% drop in hits to PornHub in 2022) and with them Windows license revenues drop even if it remains at 64.7% on the desktop, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a lot of those 11,000 layoffs at Microsoft were in Windows. [07:49] DaemonFC There's rumors of an even bigger layoff coming later in the year, and that will certainly get Windows people. [07:49] DaemonFC The Internet Explorer-ing of Windows continues unabated. [07:52] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [07:52] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [07:52] DaemonFC If I had to guess, people who were only marginally attached to the PC as a platform just didn't buy a new one when their old Windows 7 or 8 (even some 10s) system broke down and that's why "Desktop" fell 6% this year on PornHub hits. [07:52] DaemonFC It's fairly obvious, looking at the data, that almost all of these users are buying Macs and iPhones. [07:52] DaemonFC In many ways, those are as nasty as Windows, as Apple builds in Spyware too, but the "unexpected malware" like ransomware is certainly not as outrageous.

[21:36] DaemonFC The fed statute doesn't specify how long you have to try to evade prosecution in the other state before surrendering yourself, and the fact that the Trump-affiliated lawyers fought the extradition proceeding on what turned out to be a valid warrant, and then gave up provides further evidence of a federal crime. [21:37] immibis Why would Biden want to go after Kyle Rittenhouse? [21:37] immibis Biden is a do-nothing centrist. [21:38] immibis Even if he were left, there are way higher things on the priority list than arresting Kyle Rittenhouse [21:38] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:38] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:38] DaemonFC Most fugitives who flee to evade felony prosecution are not charged under the federal UFAP statute, because the federal government doesn't really want to piss around with them. [21:38] DaemonFC It's another example of how a law that is rarely enforced can be enforced if you show your ass and make a prosecutor angry at you, so this really feeds into Harvey Silverglate's point from Three Felonies a Day about how there are over 40,000 federal crimes, nobody knows what they all are, and they aren't always enforced. [21:38] *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.) [21:40] MinceR also, why would this even be the president's job? don't they have prosecutors over there? [21:42] DaemonFC MinceR, The Attorney General in the US is a hack and a political crony of the President. [21:42] DaemonFC So most federal prosecutions are politically motivated. [21:43] DaemonFC For example, George W. Bush told John Ashcroft to go after as much porn as possible and "figure out a way to make it illegal", and had him file federal charges against the State of Oregon to try to stop their Death With Dignity law. [21:43] DaemonFC So a lot of federal resources went into fighting consenting adult pornography and assisted suicide for the terminally ill. [21:44] DaemonFC Ashcroft bungled both of them btw. [21:45] DaemonFC He took some cases to the Supreme Court where the Oregon law was upheld and the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 was struck down entirely. [21:45] DaemonFC At great taxpayer expense, because the federal government also had to pay the legal fees for Oregon and all of the defendants in the CPPA cases.

[22:05] DaemonFC Many people say that Rittenhouse got away with murder, but he also made himself a victim of a political stunt by a Trumpist showboater who made him spend two unnecessary months in an Illinois jail to draw media attention to the lawyer. [22:05] DaemonFC When people say "You're full of it! I talked to a lawyer and they said X.", I've talked to 5 lawyers in a row about something before where they were wrong and I was right. [22:07] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:07] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:07] DaemonFC Why are so many lawyers wrong about the law? [22:07] DaemonFC The law is complex and constantly changing, and they may not be up to speed on it. [22:07] DaemonFC They're human and when something is a matter of interpretation, then it's up in the air. The government agent may not even interpret it the same way another government agent would have, much less any two lawyers you talk to.

[22:23] DaemonFC Legacy UNIX is not really that important anymore thanks to Linux, and so all these companies see it as is "We need to make customers who still have our UNIX happy until those machines are retired or the system is moved into a VM somewhere.". [22:23] DaemonFC Windows Server is going off in that direction too. [22:23] immibis the only first-world developing country [22:23] DaemonFC Windows Server on ARM is the Itanium era repeated as Microsoft falls apart. [22:24] immibis DaemonFC: why is this your fediverse feed? [22:24] immibis this channel, I mean [22:24] DaemonFC Matthew GULAG tried to imply that the Itanium failed because they tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux. [22:24] DaemonFC Not because it was a very expensive chip that wasn't compatible to a meaningful degree with x86-32. [22:25] mjg59_ I did? When? [22:25] DaemonFC He forgot to mention that Windows on Itanium was a fucking botched mess that took out the entire hope of the platform catching on. [22:25] immibis DaemonFC: this channel is your fediverse feed because of Matthew GULAG? [22:26] mjg59_ I think it was more that it was extremely expensive, not significantly faster than amd64, and people were moving away from proprietary UNIX [22:26] mjg59_ Oh, and much more difficult to transition to from x86 [22:26] DaemonFC On the Shitter. When you said that the Itanium "mostly ended up running UNIX". Most of the Itanium systems I dealt with ended up running Windows, and that's what few I ever saw. I was offered to buy some cheaply. [22:26] DaemonFC But I turned it down because nobody was supporting it well. [22:27] DaemonFC You couldn't just grab Fedora and boom there it was on that Itanium system. [22:27] mjg59_ Yeah, the only reason you'd want Itanium is if you were stuck on HPUX and wanted new hardware [22:27] mjg59_ There was zero reason to have it on client systems [22:27] mjg59_ Itanium workstations were loud and hot [22:27] DaemonFC The only thing that lives on about Itanium is the overall high level layout of WoW64 and EFI, from what I can gather. [22:28] mjg59_ I'm not sure how you get from "Most Itaniums ended up running proprietary UNIX" to "Itanium failed because they tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux" [22:29] DaemonFC Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 64-bit Edition, which they should have called the Itanium Edition, because now we have yet another bogus Microsoftism (x64) to describe x86-64, was on all of the Itanium systems that Stride Rite ended up buying to replace Windows 2000. [22:29] DaemonFC I can only imagine who made this call. [22:30] DaemonFC Not just Windows 2000, but NT4. [22:30] DaemonFC And I don't know why they did this when it was so obvious that AMD64 was the future. [22:31] DaemonFC I already had a PC with 8 GB of RAM in it in 2005. They were selling them with 4 because anything more would be a waste with Windows. [22:31] DaemonFC But it had an empty DIMM slot and I put in another 4 GB and Windows obviously couldn't use it. [22:31] mjg59_ Possibly because XP for Itanium was released in 2001, and Athlon 64 in 2003? [22:31] DaemonFC So I ended up going and grabbing a 64-bit Linux distribution and there it is. There's my 8 GB of RAM. [22:32] DaemonFC Windows is hopelessly fucked. [22:32] DaemonFC And this whole Windows on ARM debacle will be another fire sale, entire pallets at some warehouse written off. [22:32] DaemonFC Nobody is buying the Surface ARM things. [22:33] DaemonFC They fired a bunch of Surface people the other day. [22:33] DaemonFC Wanna bet that's who got it? [22:33] DaemonFC Thanks to "Secure Boot", you can't use them for anything else, so it's just money down the shitter. [22:34] DaemonFC At best you'll get Microsoft Edge and "Clown Office" and they have to give you security updates for a little while. [22:34] DaemonFC And it's not like you can just throw $100 bucks at it on the clearance rack and use them like a really terrible Chromebook, like Windows RT. [22:35] DaemonFC These are "premium" dog shit wrapped in cat shit. [22:35] DaemonFC Thousands of bucks, retail. [22:35] DaemonFC They're not Apple. [22:35] DaemonFC Possibly because XP for Itanium was released in 2001, and Athlon 64 in 2003? [22:35] DaemonFC Still made no sense to buy it. [22:35] DaemonFC The Windows 2000 systems they had were still functional. [22:36] DaemonFC That company was so badly managed it was a wonder it functioned at all. [22:37] DaemonFC They had money going to waste on everything, and the plant manager was this total Bill Lumbergh clone. [22:37] DaemonFC I started actually calling him "Lumbergh" behind his back. [22:37] DaemonFC He even wore aviator glasses and suspenders with a belt. [22:37] DaemonFC It was too easy. [22:38] mjg59_ I'm still trying to figure out why you think I said Itanium failed because the tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux [22:38] DaemonFC Then there was his underling which also dressed that way and had the same mannerisms.

[22:44] DaemonFC Daniel Craig is probably the second best Bond actor. [22:45] MinceR i prefer Brosnan [22:45] DaemonFC I'm not really upset about Wint and Kidd being homosexual perverts and villains because there are homosexuals who are perverted and villainous, you know. [22:46] DaemonFC The movie and book never try to make the statement that the homosexuality is the root of the perversion. [22:47] DaemonFC The reason you could never do Wint and Kidd again is because Hollywood is on an extreme apology tour to the point where you can't portray someone for being both homosexual and villainous and/or perverted even though it's hardly mutually exclusive. [22:47] DaemonFC There's, I figure, the same amount of villainy and perversion as there is among straight people. [22:47] DaemonFC But you can't say that anymore because of woke virtue signaling.
