I registered and I felt the same as you. Not worth my time.

Haha yeah. Well I’m an arch user for at least a decade, and i saw manjaro come… It was very popular in the beginning. Then they started making strange decisions, but I think many people are still happy with it. Otherwise I think endevourOS is doing good. :)

I haven’t seen Linux users fights over distros… Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.

Such a chad move. Respect!

I don’t use Google anymore except for Google maps in my car. :) I guess they can spy on where I’m driving. But no search history.

I mean yeah, all these big tech companies are trying to make their products feel faster, because that’s the only space they can compete. When it comes to privacy, they all lose.

Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it’s a mistake.

Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.

Apple likes to control the entire ecosystem, and wanted to make their own processors to make them more efficient and produce less heat. They succeeded too, the M2 and M3 chips are incredible.

So I think they would have ditched anyone, but Intel probably also made it easier by being so bad. :)

The point is to see the value of the stock go up, so when you sell, you make a profit. Some people buy and sell daily, some do it yearly or only when they need the money.

Money needs to be working for you somewhere to make up for inflation, at the very least.

How can they know if an email is disposable or aliased? I use those all the time with fastmail. Works fine with github.

But fastmail is not exactly private since it’s hosted in Australia, part of the five eyes pact. Maybe that’s why they are ok with it.

I don’t know about Linux being a pain in the ass. My kid was using first Linux on a laptop and then mac, and he wanted to go back to Linux where things make sense. He felt the mac was really confusing in where the files were. He also loved the integrated Software app where he can point and click install everything.

Now he is learning the terminal… :)

I think there is plenty of people who think macs are a pain in the ass too. Depends on what you are used to.

I think eventually, some people will be OK with paying 5 dollars per month for a YouTube competitor that is better than the original. Much like Kagi is doing for search engines. It won’t be for the majority since they still expect free stuff and no ads, which doesn’t work.

Lol :)

Humanity slowly goes insane… :)

The world is not McDonald’s though. But yes, there is a trend towards sterile clean environments with muted colors.

I’m wondering about her reason for not using one too. What is the advantage?

She thinks the web can’t exist without ads? It can, because it did once.

Go back to windows is not an option, it’s a really horrible system. I dont see how people can use it without blowing their brains out.

Just another reason to not have a YouTube account. If you use Newpipe, you can subscribe to feeds anyway without any YouTube account.

I used to be super excited about games growing up. But today they have lost their charm. It’s pretty much the same games all the time with new graphics. Gets really old.

Just like with movies, you have 99% crap and a few good ones that are hard to find.
