I recall reading somewhere that the guy that invented it, regrets it and doesn’t even use then because of how bad they are for the environment.

Its called a cannula. I had the same for my tonsils, except the guy said “this is just fluids to keep you hydrated” then I woke up hours later in another room. Lol

Probably just won’t sell those specific models in those regions? All mobile manufacturers already have region specific devices.

All fair points. I’m sure there will be a lot of pressure from Corporate entities to push this in, and with how other platforms are just seemingly giving up - I really dont have a lot of confidence left.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Its definitely a complicated issue. In my opinion it seems many people dont really appreciate the broader implications I.e its not just about a singular birthday field, its about what comes next.

I agree with you, wholeheartedly. However, Nate has a lot of influence and no doubt if he thinks it must be done then likely it will. Nothing against him personally of course.

I’ll still be pulling my donations, and if they do decide to not implement it then I’ll be more than happy to resume. At the end of the day I’m powerless to really affect change on their end, albeit trying to voice my opinion in the matter.

Looks like Nate Graham is going to get it implemented.

I’ll be pulling my monthly donations unfortunately.

I don’t need it, no. Its more akin to an unattended installer with a answer file - once you start the script you only need to input the new password for root and user account and thats it.

I’ve started updating my own Arch install script to work with Artix instead. Hopefully have it done in a few days.

Ooga Booga!

I’m assuming he has laser eyes, and the visor will stop him from lasering the puppies.

Useful for modifying live footage, from say a security camera…

Ha ha thats great. Reminds me of PhysX back in the day where initially it needed a dedicated card.

Let’s not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.

The customer can choose a refund or replacement - its not up to the retailer. A refund would be of the original purchase price, so a replacement is a no brainer.

Immediately knew this was going to be Umart - they’re a bunch of cunts that treat their customers like trash.

The Australian Consumer Law states that the customer may choose a refund or replacement. This guy can raise it with ACCC and they’ll take then to court.

Thanks for reminding me about it. I’ve tried it once before and didnt like it, but I’ll give it another chance for sure.

I was thinking about it - its a massive project. It does a lot of stuff that I’ve never touched, for me personally - all I do is use it to manage my wine prefixes. Obviously there is a lot of extra stuff that goes into it, but I could probably write my own app that does that much at least in a couple weeks.

I guess this is all to say, its a huge project and for me personally it has a lot of what you might call bloat. Maybe something that pairs all that extra stuff away into optional plugins might be a better approach for a next generation all-in-one launcher
