Kinda unrelated but have you seen Ex Machina? It was an interesting look at AI

Now smartwatches are using almost a gig of RAM. The system requirements for WinXP were 64MB.

There are ups and downs. This is probably not the first time hitting 2%. Linux was in that range like 15 years ago.

Yes, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu (which is based on Debian package manager) and it's very simple to use. Not only has Linux gotten significantly easier to use and better supported more and more things have moved to the "cloud" and are done through a browser instead of dedicated applications which makes moving simpler.

I still don't use Linux as my main OS but there is no denying that it's gotten much better supported. You could always install it inside of VMware player or Virtualbox is you just want to poke around before putting it on its own partition.

Is this counting ChromeOS and Chromebooks?

Despite advances in equal opportunity, if you’re an underrepresented minority, you’re going to have to be twice as good as everyone else. And that’s simply to demonstrate competence.

Lost a lot of credibility with that line. My experience with minority hires is exactly the opposite. They are hired without proper credentials to boost diversity numbers and can't be fired for any amount of incompetence.

I'd point out Atom from Github but they are hardly any less SJW.

The most alarming part about this is you don't know my gender, race, or sexual preference. If you visit a website you don't know who created it, if you use an app you don't see the developers that wrote it. If I contribute code to a github project or host my own the people looking at my code don't know anything about me unless I want to broadcast it.

For the first time in human history we have a level playing field for meritocracy to thrive yet it's the people who are "traditionally marginalized" that seem to the most vocally opposed because they see too many white and asian males succeeding.

This writeup by Eric S. Raymond is pretty good titled Why Hackers Must Eject the SJWs
