Oh and here I thought it was what gnome devs thought I would like ;p

I’ve never seen anyone say they’re dissatisfied. I’ve seen claims that lifetime plans are a bad business model and I’ve seen one of the owners say they are careful to limit them. Their apps suck but I use them as an off site archive for my most precious data and while I wouldn’t let them be my only backup they have yet to cause me issues in several years.

You blame hardware manufacturers for a misleading headline? Odd.

I’m retroactively annoyed at the stranded but in good repair situation. But voyager failing made Battlestar a thing so…

I also think it’s just a weird transition period for tv. Still had crap budgets and weird unpolished plotlines due to the need for season-long fillers. If you cut each season down to 8-10 episodes as we sometimes do today, could be a fine show.

Yes, we are all complicit. Not sure why that justifies genocide.

Not sure why down votes, this is financial security 101. Some debit cards have gotten with the program but… Still cringe. I do keep one on me but it’s a free account I keep a bit of cash in, not where direct deposit goes to.

Really need a first party app for credit card payments. I’m not going back to Google having control over my phone and you can’t use GPay unless you let those scumbags watch you.

Lol I’ve never in my life heard a landlord referred to as a renter. It’s a funny situation but I have to say this ones on you :p

I won’t bother responding to your hate fueled rage post except to say those are all highly recommended distros, except Manjaro which I’ve already stated was hot at the time. Void for example is the no-contest top rated distro right now. When the “best” Linux has to offer won’t get past grub from their install wizard, that’s not an incompetence issue.

It’s my daily on 3 of 6 machines, 2 are installs from the last year

It sounds like you’ve read about but not used windows for a while tbh. The going online thing is true, but its not exactly confusing. Not sure what you mean by onedrive, I uninstalled it years ago.

yes, I do

this is the other thing linux communities are well-known for: blaming the user for not being good enough.

i think the last time my linux failed to boot there was a power outage…but the machine was a laptop. before that it was running an update (fedora/nobara). before that it was installing void (“installation complete” -> reboot ->grub recovery). before that it was running an update (pop_os). Before that it was running an update (manjaro, this was during a brief moment when it was very popular and linux folks claimed it was user friendly and suitable for moderate users). I’ve managed to recover from most of those cases listed above, but with the exception of manjaro that was 2023+2024 right there.

2024 is indeed the year of the linux desktop

sometimes the alternatives are even ok!

You…blame the people who can’t afford to own for renting and also blame that same situation for making it harder for you to buy? You seem to be missing the point here.

3% is about average inflation, why is “making constant money including adjusting for inflation” low?

This is more akin to you taking a picture of your own junk in a public bathroom stall. Or using face unlock while you’re on the toilet.

Obviously nobody’s gonna win in an internet argument but you should really take a look at the extremes with which you view this stuff. /Serious.

Exactly, we are on the same page.

That’s why external feedback is needed. When you exist within a hierarchy you can discount your “lessers”. Everyone needs feedback. “They should’ve known better” is a fine thing to say but not helpful in a system as devoid of morality or hope as capitalism is.

Magic earth is ok for nav but the problem with all openstreetmaps options remains the terrible search. This has been my experience for the past decade.

Recently the folks at jmp.chat released an alpha search which passes navigation intents in Android to the nav app of your choice, so I think we are getting close to a real alternative in the next few years.
