  • Dont know, but i had to go that route.

    And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.

    Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i

    1. Opened up a browser
    2. Went to the website
    3. Entered a password
    4. Watched the stream.

    On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”

    I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.

    I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.







  • Japan had been holding out for a positive response from Soviet Union. The delusional high command thought they could craft aj alliance against the US. After the USSR invaded, the leadership went into a tail spin. It would have been a matter of days before they would have surrendered.

    The US did not want the USSR to push deeper into Manchuria and Korea, so they dropped the a-bombs.

    An invasion wasnt necessary. A blockade and a week of fighting on the continent by the USSR would have sufficed.

    Bukharin, Rykov, Tukhachevski, Ryutin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Tomsky, Smirnov, Ter-Vaganyan, Eidemanis, Blyukher…

    I could go on for pages. Men, who had ensured that the Soviet Union even existed and who were executed on Stalin’s orders.
