Around 15% here in Germany. That's more than I expected, but it isn't mainstream. At least not in the sense that people will expect MacOS behaviour by default on their computers, or even to the point where you can expect familiarity with MacOS from most users.

We clearly live in different bubbles because this is the first time I've seen someone refer to MacOS as "very mainstream". iOS, sure, but I haven't seen many Macs out in the wild. It's certainly not common to the point where people would expect MacOS behaviour as the default.

Fair. It still should be communicated better though, because it really does feel like a bug when you first encounter it.

Yeah. It's one of those things where I'm sure it's genuinely useful to some people but why on Earth is it on by default?!

Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.

So you are fine with deliberate attacks on civilians, so long as they're Israeli civilians. That's really all I needed to know here. Bye.

Hamas did not lead any peace talks worth a damn and their "armed resistance" has only ever consisted of attacks on civilians, usually by firing missiles at settlements in unambiguously Israeli territory (attacking military installations or even settlements in the West Bank would've been at least somewhat defensible, but that's not what they've been doing) and then hiding behind their own civilian population to hinder Israeli retaliation, getting them killed in the process. They also did all that from Gaza, an area that Israel de-occupied after the Second Intifada, and which could have served as a positive example of peaceful Palestinian self-government and eventually independence instead of the opposite.

Hamas has set the Palestinian cause back by decades. They're important in the same way cancer is important to the human body.

Nope. Also in Germany.

Another issue was that Vista had very steep system requirements, which Microsoft deliberately understated. As a result it ran like shit on a ton of machines despite them technically meeting the requirements.

Schön wär's. Aber es ist leider sehr einfach ohne Konsequenzen auf marginalisierte Gruppen einzutreten.

Schön nach unten treten, damit man nicht merkt wie miserabel das eigene Leben ist.
