Even though our computers are now better than 15 years ago, they still malfunction 11%–20% of the time, a new study from the University of Copenhagen and Roskilde University concludes. The researchers behind the study therefore find that there are major gains to be achieved for society by rethinking the systems and involving users more in their development.

    This is 100% due to Microsoft, google and Apple. If you dont understand, I’m not defending my position, or explaining further.

      Tangent: what’s this trend all about where people will make a statement and then firmly state that they will not answer questions or explain themselves afterwards?

      I’m seeing it everywhere.

      Working server side much? Pretty sure a lot of us spend a lotta time on fixing shit unrelated to either of those 3… Not that it diminishes the merit of our IT support dude that endure due to those 3 indeed.

        One thing I appreciate about Arch is that it’s quick to set up if you don’t care and still need something kinda controllable.

        Since I don’t reinstall everything every week, I’m fine with Void. But I’ve used Arch for a month or so. It’s sane.
