  • Not saying he’s a saint, but isn’t an alternative interpretation that he was young, inexperienced, and had a bad relationship, then grew up, learned some things, and had a better relationship later? Julian Lennon was on Bill Maher’s podcast recently and described a reconciliation between him and his dad right before he died.

    Again, not trying to excuse all his bad behavior in his first marriage, but I also don’t think that a failed relationship is enough evidence to judge a whole life by, especially one that was under extraordinary pressure.






  • In my opinion, it is perceived difficulty that keeps people from using it. Most basic users will use the OS that is installed on the computer when it ships and never stray from that. It often takes another Linux user to introduce someone to it before they will use it.

    Those concerns you mentioned are basically non existent for a low level user who just wants to do email, internet, and word documents, which covers a decent chunk of home windows users. Not all, of course, but many.



  • I generally agree that I think there are bigger fish to fry that don’t bring any joy to the user. I smoke weed and smoked cigarettes in the past and have no illusions about their safety, but at the same time I recognize that I get a benefit from it and it outweighs the risk for me.

    I was simply trying to point out that this is actually aimed at their primary cause of death rather than being a simple scapegoat to take focus off of other issues.
