  • Yeah all the answers I’ve seen so far either dismiss this or discuss the word “pop”.

    “Believe” was pop, and did she particularly do rock a lot? Cause I can’t recall. And I’m sure she’s awesome, but that still doesn’t automatically make her eligible for a rock and roll hall of fame.

    So either she did rock (and roll), or the name of this list is basically wrong, or she doesn’t belong on there.

    And don’t get me wrong, if she really doesn’t care, good for her. No need to be pissed you don’t get a price, ppl will probably recognize your impact even without a price.








  • It probably matters if the goal is to harm you or your close friends.

    It’s always a good idea to understand ppl and their views, because it helps to confirm or reject your own hypotheses, which are plenty. But there’s a reason you always have to take any claim from an unknown or untrusted source with varying grains of salt. Especially considering we are living in a world where the internet is the one central source of information and bad actors are starting to flood all channels that provide information.


  • What you’re describing in 3. is the exact reason why I said “build software from scratch” btw. Some software just will never work properly or never work period. And usually, every Linux compatible software can technically do 80% of the stuff you need, but even that takes 10x the time and effort. I’m talking 3d applications like AutoCAD, cinema4d, DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton, video cutting like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro, and this is not even talking about use cases where there’s highly specific, proprietary or custom software.

    You either use Windows, or you pay with your time, effort and sanity.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m a data scientist and software Dev and I know there are good reasons why Linux should be the golden standard. But I’m also a realist and while I love the idea of what Linux’ goal is, it’s a really hard sell for most non computer science people.
