    I am brave enough to say it: The ocean has water in it.

    Praise me for my braveness.

      I get the sentiment but the article is more targeted at the PC gaming crowd that isn’t exactly tech-illiterate but probably only knows Linux from memes about it requiring you to recompile a kernel to install Chrome or some other BS like that

      I think a good portion of Lemmy and the fediverse already know it’s been at this level for a long while now but I’m excited to see articles like this since it means the tide is turning against Windows for the average user

        Yeah just look at the article’s comment section (not recommended). Still full of ignorant misinformation. Borderline disinformation IMO.

        Yeah, though would be better if the well were not poisoned, misleading perceptions, with words like “brave” and “now”.

        Pretty sure Trump’s already building one, but I guess you could put this guy’s next to it.

      I heard somewhere that by the time the scientific community officially announces life on mars the rest of us will have already concluded that there is life on mars. I feel like this is the same thing.

        The problem is there’s a large difference between the 50% the average person needs and the 99.9% the scientific community needs. It’s just a different level of proof they’re looking for.

          I realize that scientific rigor demands more to assert a claim. I was more commenting on mainstream gamer media embracing Linux after it seems like a well proven option.

        Because science doesn’t work on circumstantial evidence, but hard proof.

      Valorant DaddleDew,
      Doth proudly proclaim.
      Sees that the sea is due
      To torrential rain.

      Dew truly polymath,
      Paragon of deep.
      Scrolls Lemmy in the bath
      And nods right off to sleep.
