Its pretty obvious that the folks at Linux aren’t going to just say fuck the WiFi stack because the current sole maintainer is stepping down.

Also, it being a sole maintainer doesn’t mean no one else would could do it… Its probably a job that this person was able to handle solo and now that the position has become vacant, another will step in.

If this was some small niche I can understand the concern about the potential of having it go unfilled but WiFi / wireless is crucial.

Dude chill it’ll be fine. Why are you on the ledge after this post? Someone is obviously going to step up and take their place.

Sharing culture is one of the most beautiful things humanity has to offer each other.

Yeah watch me not deny it tho; I intended for it to be snarky and anticipated this impact.

I’ll counter your anectdote with my own. Every single Linux community member I have encountered on my journey to use this as a daily driver (arch BTW) has been incredibly helpful.

Intention vs. Impact, look it up.

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.

Dude OP isn’t even mortal at this point; he has ascended to godhood. That compressor sound and ice dropping into the plastic basket only powers him up.

I’m picturing this thing literally on your nightstand. Please tell me I’m right.

Unpopular opinion: HDR is overrated and causes more eye fatigue.

This particular streamer is terrible. There are plenty of great ones; dont lump them all together.

That wasn’t the joke. There is no way OP meant it literally.

Not wasting energy explaining this to you. You’re clearly incapable of engaging with a disagreement which has lead you to double down and move a few goalposts around.

All criticism of your original point was done respectfully, its really not my problem if you can’t just acknowledge you misspoke in the first post… Its downvoted like 20+ times man. What other evidence do you need that maybe you didn’t communicate your thoughts clearly.

Hey man don’t take it personal that we disagree with your original point…if you meant to say something else, fair enough, but we all posting / responding to the OP which was more broad than what you are saying now.

Additionally, my response was more about quality of materials which may incrue extra costs and had nothing to do with buying over priced designer stuff. I agree with your new point, but thats not what you said initially.

Yeah that’s a great way to get a quality pair of shoes! I’ve done similar… Or check out the lightly used rack at REI or something.

Agreed on point about special purpose footwear. However disagree with both you and OPs point about not investing in footwear and seemingly choosing options based at least mostly on cost.

Cheap footwear leads to a variety of other health / joint / posture issues that cost far more in the long run.

All new shoes are going to feel okay when you first get them. Something people forget is how a cheap shoe will degrade over time. Common example is soles wearing down unevenly because say the insole or outsole is made out of something cheap. Now you need to walk on a slightly uneven footing for months till you buy a new pair, thus furthering the damage created by ever other cheap pair of shoes you’ve bought over the years.

Shoes, tires, matress; dont skimp.

This is a leap. You can be a good person and also see that people as a whole can be both wonderful and absolutely terrible. This is a story about a mega corp murdering two whistleblowers, so far. In this case, the people involved in making this a headline suck and are terrible.

Correct

I had my gmail account since the early invite days too! Your final point is valid, there really is no way to tell if sometime down the line a company may change gears and we end up in the same BS we’re in now.

That being said, proton seems to have a good track record so far and unless they get acquired down the line I can’t see them moving so drastically away from their focus on privacy.

Forward gmail to new provider and then use new email from now on. Eventually you’ll want to go in and update your email address for all the other sites you frequent…takes a few hours but you’ll be free.

Did it last year and it was relatively easy.
