robyoung,

That’s quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?

I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum’s biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.

Edit: to be clear I’m not necessarily agreeing with the OP. I have no opinion on the needs of “most users”.

robyoung,

I really like it because in order to keep the days of the week aligning that holiday must be a special non day of the week. It would lead to conversations like. “What day of the week is it?” “It isn’t”

robyoung,

Unfortunately, for a lot of non-tech savy people, the options often boil down to this kind of shit or being part of a botnet within a few days.

robyoung,

Atheists aren’t exactly immune to the killing either. The Soviet Union has the elimination of organised religion as one of it’s goals. I think humans just seem to like killing other humans and differences in beliefs is a handy excuse.
