Oh my god, I never made that connection. Thank you.

Who are these “lemmy libs”? What are these opinions that seem to incense them? I haven’t seen any posts that would fit this meme’s description and it feels like I’m losing my mind.

Can’t comment on either, but I do hate that piano-falling-down-the-stairs background music.

Are desktop shortcuts still a no-no with this distro?

Ugh, so tired of this old argument. Nothing to hide doesn’t mean everything to show. There, now let’s get on with our lives.

It takes about a decade to get through a single show.

I’ll have to take your word for it. Truth be told, I don’t read much of their articles. And it looks like it’s going to stay that way.

What do you mean? He even wears red!

And that’s completely valid and fair. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. But I do have to stress that I’m not so much criticising the bullet points as I am the general tone of the article. #6 should read like your reply, but instead it feels like the reader should feel bad for not wanting support from humans as opposed to an automated system.

The new CEO’s overarching goal is to turn Mozilla into the “world’s most trusted software company,” citing public dissatisfaction with today’s privacy practices and the tech industry’s growing appetite for all kinds of data.

What the fuck does this man think the industry is feeding the data to?

And here I was, thinking this was a well thought out article with actual, legitimate reasons why someone wouldn’t want to use Linux. Instead, it’s this smug, autofellating, condescending bullshit. Roland Taylor has some issues.

I hated Windows Update. There were other reasons, but this was the main one.

The memory mafia strikes again. Great.

Telegram talks a pretty big privacy game, but consider that the feature that actually enables end-to-end encryption, called “Secret Chats” in the app, is OFF by default. Couple that with everything else said in this thread and you start to see a picture forming. And it’s not pretty.

Fair warning: even if you disable telemetry on Windows, it has a tendency and history of re-enabling itself after a major update. You shouldn’t expect it to be a one-and-done deal.

I’m not an artist by any definition, but I am wholeheartedly behind the sentiment of excising the cancerous growth that is the Adobe company out of existence. You may have seen this website before, but have you checked out fuckadobe.com? Alternatives are a little ways down, past the wall of text.

So, basically, you become the controller? I’m curious to see how this hashes out, but so far, this looks like Microsoft Kinect with a subscription service. That combination… doesn’t sound great, to be perfectly honest.

Dear lord, it even alters the URL. That is so wildly unnecessary.

I’m floored that the user gave Google’s AI access to their machine in the first place. Wouldn’t it be better if it was confined to Google Drive or whatever? Now consider Microsoft Copilot, which at this point is all but baked into the OS. Something tells me situations like these are only the beginning.

Besides the reasons others mentioned, it’s also popular as an OS for gaming handhelds, like the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, ASUS Ally X and what have you.
