Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux
-
Right, because Linux definitely can't run Windows software. Don't check.

Stop posting Lunduke stuff. This dude sucks and has a long history of sucking.
-
Okay, and if I find the book on the street?

Because it's not legal and no one's going to develop software for XP. Someone could make and sell security patches for it, but the type of person who still runs XP either doesn't care enough to buy security patches or it's running some hardware that isn't connected to the internet.
There are exactly two games released in the past few years that have XP support, but that was more a flex on the part of the developer then catering to the market. HROT and Zortch are those games if you're curious.
-
Surely it's less work to maintain security patches for a few prior versions of windows than it is to indefinitely maintain backwards compatibility
-
macOS is a certified UNIX, sure, but according to some 2002 specification, and if you modify your system in such matter that it will be in nearly broken state.

Just check his video titles.
Even without it, that snark face he uses for the thumbnails are a very big tell.
-
Lmfao. My fucking lead was arguing with me the other day how Linux is Unix. I just said ok after I saw that it was going nowhere.
-
Because women bad.
-
Been there, had that conversation.

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?
He's a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.
-
Fair. I didnt check any of the other myths so some may well be myths. Just interesting to me that his opinion is stated as fact when its a bit of a grey area and one could easily interpret her to be the first programmer in some ways. Its not like a computer has to exist to write a computer program, for example, you can imagine a world where all computers are destroyed in an event but a surviving programmer can still write a computer program if you just handed them a stone tablet and charcoal. The non existence of a computer is problem, and a computer program written in a textbook is also valid.
-
For the record I wasn't disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.
-
Yes understand completely:)
-
He also says, Palestine supporters and Hamas supporters are, and I quote, one and the same.
-
One could argue that "based" covers this kind of inspiration

The windows kernel isn't all that great, particularly in the realm of memory security or scheduling.
You know, to each their own. Question is really whether windows maintaining a closed source kernel even makes sense from a maintenance burden perspective when it really doesn't give them much money in return. (Most of their money in 2025 comes from cloud services, not operating systems)

It’s a hard problem in the fediverse. It makes for a ticking time bomb of an issue. Imagine I am on a “everything is your own, we don’t sell your stuff” instance while another instance just copy pasted metas ToS. By posting a response to my instance, which then in turn is federated to the meta style instance I create something hard to solve. I can foresee other issues too.
I see your point. I just think it’s a difficult problem.

I've come across this person's face randomly but know nothing about them. Could you help the lazy and tell me why he sucks?
-
Try to run old soft on windows though
