My tone was very amiable. But idiocy, misinformation and lies shouldn't be rewarded. This idea that bullshit and ignorance has the same merit as verifiable fact because of the tone it is presented with is harmful. Anyways, I know the most offending part of my original comment was the word “no”, that some people on the internet can't tolerate, and I assume the use of “pal”(?). Is being someone's pal derogatory now?
On Linux I don't drag icons nor download random shit from my web browser, there's a software center (which I control), and I click install, and then the software is there.
~~No it isn't.~~ Well, That's not exactly what UNIX means. It's just a certification nowadays and they (Apple) have lost it at least once in the past. You can't be powered by Unix, but you can be Unix compliant or not. It's like a company advertising themselves as "powered by OSHA", that's not how this works ~~pal~~.
EDIT: Downvote all you want ~~fuckers~~, that doesn't make me wrong. There hasn't been a UNIX per se since 1995. Anything branded UNIX nowadays is after a certification process established by The Open Group. Want the kicker? Most Linux distributions aren't Unix certified, only POSIX certified if even, because it is ~~a pain in the ass~~ a complex process and costs a ton of money. And what is worse, macOS is UNIX certified only to keep Apple free from litigation, because they ~~fucked~~ bungled PR once and used the UNIX trademark without permission and it was the cheapest way of avoiding a lawsuit. macOS has no other UNIX heritage in their code base, other than a vague relation of the old NeXTSTEP OS with BSD almost 30 years ago.

I've been toying with Fedora Kinoite on a VM. Haven't opened the terminal even once. This might actually be the path for fast adoption.
Is less than
Percentages are the easiest statistical figure to bullshit. Just like it happens with "Linux desktop is only 4%". We are then talking about over a hundred million PCs. PC gaming is 15% means that PC gamers are several hundred millions of devices. Sure, it is less than mobile gaming. But less doesn't mean irrelevant, and much less a rounding error. You don't call a fifth of the market that expends almost a quarter of the revenue a rounding error.
They would be ceased and desisted out of existence. There's a reason no one on the scene right now discloses methods and streaming piracy is a closely guarded secret. I'm sure it is perfectly possible, as that is how most piracy occurs nowadays. But it is extremely technical and most likely risks exposing any person doing it wrong.
I'm aware of this. But no corporation will ever let anyone get even close to releasing a consumer product like TiVo used to be.
That's the problem. They already wisened up and HDMI, the propietary standard they forced everyone to change to for HD+, has built-in DRM. Most smart TV have DRM built-in as well.
Don't they already do that? I swear I saw a streaming service that offered 20% off the price if you agreed to pay 2 years in advance or something like that. That is already a thing on SaaS subscriptions.
Oreo was originally a ripoff so it makes sense.
People would rather have a filthy body than touch their own bumhole. I don't get it, it is your own body, what is so icky when you are in the process of cleaning it? Would you rather live with a stinking baby with a dirty diaper, or change the diaper and have a clean space? Same thing, just deal with the thing asap and be done with it. This is why we invented soap. I swear to god this is same people who would scratch their navel then smell their fingers, or would eat earwax, but won't touch their bums in a shower because it is gay. Guys would decry bidets but then go eat ass and pussy without a hint of self-awareness.
