There are many different signals the OS sends to applications which are kinda like “Can you kill yourself?” or “Please kill yourself” or “I will kill you” to close it. In computer teminology, there is “close”, “terminate” and “kill” types of signals. These are used so that applications can have time to perform closing tasks (like saving) when neceassary and if they misbehave, just “kill” it.
Now both windows and linux have these types of signals. In fact every OS has it.
I beleive this is the reason this meme exists:
When the user tries to shut a app in windows (throught close button or task manager) windows will wait and not give any option to immediately kill the app. Hence some apps don’t close even after using end task. Only if the app freezes for some time will it give the option for force quit, no other way (edit: it exists). In linux, its the same as windows and limux waits for app to close. But the difference is that option to kill is available anytime in linux and basically gives the user full control. Although kill option in linux may be hidden as a way for users not to use it unless necassary as applications may not like it.
Shutdown process of both OS is same, they wait for all apps to shut by semding “please close” signal and if they misbehave, option to “shutdown anyways” will be shown to the user, basically killing all apps.
The meme is not correct and is just a steorotype of different OSes. This steorotype comes from how people normally experinece different OS culture and practices. Both OSes have same process of managing apps. Both OSes will wait for process to close if it freezes and give option to user to force quit.
SIGKILL in the meme is coreect only for the right panel of the meme and the left panel is actually a SIGTERM (or something else which means “please close”, don’t remember)
The only thing the meme should emphasis is how the user is given full control to do in linux (even deleting the kernel) while windows is careful to not let users do something stupid.
Edit: Killing apps in windows can be done on demand through cmd using taskkill

Avoid trying to “trick” someone into privacy, because that leads to bad outcomes down the road.
Privacy is a choice
This is something which is really important. Say whats right!
Great comment reply by you!
Thats what I thought before posting, but didn’t give much thought
Its not only in google purchases. Almost all digital assets are licensed based, you buy a license. You don’t own anything and it fucking sucks. I therefore try to buy CDs of games or movies if possible
I think you are everythingsexual
That ghost is wife material
Yes, infact I sometimes downvote my own comment if I feel like my comment is shit
Neither OP :(
For this you would need an app (could be a web app) which lets you interact with lemmy as a mastodon user. The problem here is the UI and the format of the data. Currently format is something can’t really help.
But find a UI app which lets you comments and follow through any mastodon/lemmy instance and display posts in lemny style.

LLMs are just matrix arithmetic which has a lot of parameters which represent the english words meaning in 100+ dimensions
!Watched two 3blue1brown videos to come to that!<
I feel like this is a reference to something but can’t quite firgure it out
Is yhis meme trying to highlight the current world?
More of a bug than a gore
Software gore is when crazy uncomprehensible shit happens like for example screen become very glitchy giving weird paterns
Tarball with gzip
Means sonic is like a zipbomb here
Same, hearing conservative word gives me not so good thoughts
I meant through a graphical user interface. Was saying in view of an average user.
Although it’s true that I wasn’t aware of this commands existance when writing
