    The Magi (of unknown number) who bring three listed gifts are in Matthew’s birth narrative, while the ahistorical census and “no room in the inn” are in Luke’s birth narrative.

    They are basically completely separate stories.

    In Matthew, Mary and Joseph live in Bethlehem.

    “couldn’t do anything”

    This was a third-party implementation problem, not an OS issue.

    By the time Third party software stopped being all loosy-goosey like the OS was windows XP, Microsoft had already re-branded the OS to Win7.

    Vista’s UAC wasn’t any more problematic than sudo is.






  • The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.

    Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.

    So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.

    It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.

    I’ve gotten into quite a lot of systemd-related flame wars so far, and what strikes me is that I haven’t heard a single reason why systemd is good and should be used in favor of openrc/sysvinit/whatever.
