Land of the fee.

Maybe you didn’t see that I wrote fee, not free. :)

Land of the fee.

People who read Forbes do.

I think large parts of humanity still desires enormous amount of money and are willing to spend their lives focusing on it.

It’s because money gives what people actually want - safety, respect, admiration, power, freedom etc.

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

Human beings could be great but went for greath.

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.

It’s a sign of the times that this is upvoted so much. When I was growing up, this was called normal behavior and was boring and nobody talked about it.

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’m sure conservatives have the same views on the other side, something negative, based in fear. If you think about it, all of politics is fear of change in a direction we don’t want, but others do.

In a family when this happens, family members talk about it and try to understand eachother. At least in a good family. In a dysfunctional one, family members go to war with eachother. And that’s what I see in politics. There is no feeling of being humans on a ball together at all.

But why would you even think that people on the left are different from people on the right? This is why I’m not into politics myself. Because it all builds on some fake idea that one side is right about everything, even good people, while the other is wrong about everything, and probably are bad people as well.

In reality, both sides are very similar and have much more incommon with eachother than they have with the politicians they are trying to support.

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.
