Linux update: .... click ... forget about it as it runs in the background

Windows update: ... why is my system running like molasses???? .... oh there's an update .... click .... now it's running even slower!!! ... I'm in the middle of something!!! ... I DON'T WANT TO SHUT DOWN!! ... WAIT FOR THE UPDATE TO INSTALL!!! ... How long is this going to take?????"

Mac update: ...... I wouldn't know, I've never owned a Mac because I could never afford one.

Mac update: ......

It downloads in the background, and sends you a toast notification that it’s ready to install. It gives you the option of restarting “Now”, or it’ll do it “Later Tonight” when it determines you’re not using your computer.

So, exactly how Windows behaves? This entire meme is wrong for all three OSes and seems to just be designed to annoy everyone...

What? Someone on the internet trying to ragebait people with misinformation?

I’m shocked. Shocked I say. 😉

Haha, I just had a huge list of dependency errors with my Linux PC. I'll have to find 1 hour in my day today to figure out wtf is up this time.

We need to find more ways to fund the lovely FOSS devs

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The ways exist, but a lot of people are using FOSS for the first letter in the acronym.

More like: Your battery is too old so we'll pre-bill you for your $99/year subscription for the privilage of installing this CPU-Throttle update that you cannot refuse to install, and battery replacement costs almost as much as a new device.

MacOS updates are free.

A battery replacement for my iPhone 14 Pro is currently £95 and a new phone would be £1099. I just tried to book for a battery replacement but it advised me not to due to health being at 80%. Now I could go and pay them but they would advise against it until the health is worse to get more value for money.
