I fucking guarantee that all used services will not be what you wanted, but from companies that paid Google the most, fuck your needs.
In principle, what you described isn’t bad, sounds nice, but hells no unless I host it all myself and it’s all open source so I can trust it
but these companies are so far into the ad revenue game that they seem to have forgotten why people used their service in the first place
That already rang true 20 years ago
I used to go to a computer club
I was one of “those” kids. This was during the height of the Commodore Amiga, the most beautiful piece of hardware I’ve ever owned. It was magical
Those computer clubs were on paper all about teaching, exchanging ideas, showing off hardware, etc
In reality, when you’d enter the room, there would be hundreds of Amiga computers running xcopy, copying one floppy disk after another. Everyone had their floppy boxes open, I had a few hundred 3.5" disks, in a Feib boxes. People would just walk by, rummage through my collection, take what they wanted to copy, and bring it all back later.
Everything was super respectful and so so so much fun. It was every last (or first?) Saturday of the month, and if look forward to it for weeks
Piracy was life at that time. I had no idea where to buy games, I barely realized that people would pay for software. I had zero money anyway, I would never buy anything because I didn’t have the money
It was a magical time and I yearn for it
In reali
Agua de jamaica, or in English apparently Hibiscus drink. So frikkin refreshing but it makes you pee like there is no tomorrow
Microsoft is doing this ONLY because they finally recognized that Linux surpassed them flying on the one thing they were king: games
Microsoft doesn’t give a single shit about end users, never had. It always had the goal of becoming the dominant ayer, then get a monopoly, and then doing absolutely nothing anymore until users complain too much. This has been their work ethos since it’s inception and if you believe otherwise I have a bridge to sell you.
Seconded, I hate that every file is all lowercase but my home directory if filled with Downloads, Videos, Documents, etc…
I’d say that 99.somethiny percent of open source software is also free as in beer
Come to think of it, I can’t remember ever having seen open source software that required payment
That’s just the designed to fail but where they want you to buy a new phone even though the old one functions perfectly well with a new battery
Nope
It’s all car lobbies, corrupt politicians, people doing everything possible to get rid of trains for people, get rid of bicycles in cities, everything needs to be designed for cars first, then whatever, turning every US (And Canadian and Mexican) city in a car park.
Hell, jaywalking as a concept was invented by car manufacturers because cars were killing so many people. Instead of doing something about the cars, we now just blame it on this invention from cars manufacturers.
Anything to push cars
Take a look at the Netherlands. It’s been working on less car for decades. It’s enormously densely populated and we simply don’t have the space for ginormous car parks and clogged road arteries. Back in the 1960’s they stopped the carification of cities and pushed for bicycle use and public transportation. Cars can get to most places still, but everything is principally designed for pedestrians, then cyclists, then cars. Most city centers block even bicycles, allowing people to walk only
The result? Moving about in the Netherlands is super easy, and the cities are amazing and safe. There are bicycle freeways, the cities are much quieter, the air is cleaner.
Other European cities finally followed suit in the past decade, with great results
Canada is trying a little bit of this in Vancouver, with mixed results because a lot of the designs they’re trying are designs everyone knew were bad and dangerous since back in the 1980s, but good on them for at least trying.
I know, you were talking about trains, and keep talking about bicycles, but it’s relevant. The two go together and should be implemented together.
Short distance, < 1 kilometers, people can and should walk. < 10 kilometers, bicycles. More than that, you use trains in between cities and busses for the less urban routes and inside the cities.
This is how it should be. People cycling are healthier. It generates less CO2, it pollutes less. Similarly, trains are way WAY more energy efficient and way less polluting than all those cars.
It’s just the politicians who keep being paid and lobbied to make sure car manufacturers can fill their pockets. Electric cars won’t change most of this, they only sort of solve the CO2 problem
Because peeing spreads around microscopic pee particles that go many places. Same for flushing after pooping squirts poop particles around.
IIRC, that luteral crap can spread around 2 meters of a toilet
Any language learned as an adult will be extremely difficult to speak well, to the point of sounding native
Good point, just that the security council never gets anything done that has any practical effect whatsoever. \
I believe it has as I have used it and I have never used anything that was not KDE
Linux has emergency modes for booting as well. The old ways would work with run levels, and the newer ways (through systemd) I honestly don’t know. However, a bootable USB is usually the best solution because it won’t boot a drive with a possibly damaged filesystem that needs repairs before accessing it, that sort of stuff. There is a reason why it is a separate storage device to boot from.
I’m just saying that if you take an experimental or very hard to master OS for your day to day work, or storing your family photo albums, then yeah, you’re playing with fire, because the OS can trip you up in many ways. Linux is great, but potentially unforgiving when you make mistakes. Ubuntu Linux is at the point where normal users need to work hard to mess stuff up, but if you go for gentoo or something else experimental or DIY, then yeah, you better be prepared to take the consequences when things go down south
That is the question in the end: Is it ethically good. The question of “Does some imaginary god like it” doesn’t really matter
Its been a while since I had mint, but I remember Mint coming with KDE, as I’ve never used anything but KDE
Bullshit
KDE connect has finally been working well for years now
I mostly agree with your point, but whatever will replace the current protocols, I fucking guarantee you that it will be worse than we have today
I can never see any media hosted from files catbox.moe, am I the only one?
