This isn’t the Idiocracy we were promised! I’d happily take president Camacho over Trump.

I remember that for a time, JC Penney focused on honest pricing and abandoned common predatory prices. They came close to bankruptcy and went back to their old ways. The psychology of feeling like we got a good deal is so ingrained into most people that it becomes difficult to run a business without those things

It’s kind of what I liked about Baby Driver, the movie acknowledges that a laundromat is kind of a weird place to hang out for a date, but the awkwardness lets the passionate feelings they have for each other shine through.

A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn’t see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I’m glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I’m happy to use revanced.

When I read “fully autonomous”, I see how creepy its movements are and just imagine it seizing its moment, getting on all fours and charging someone. You could make a horror movie out of this lol

And as I’ve replied to many others, that’s a criticism of 11 itself and perfectly understandable. It’s not a reason to seethe at end of lifing. There’s features of software introduced that I don’t like in plenty of things including linux, but I’m not going to get mad that the version I like better doesn’t get supported forever

Windows 10 has been out a long time

Yeah, that’s how time works. Yes they’re pushing a move and 11 sucks but end of support is not like that any more than Ubuntu 12.04 is, and that’s been around even longer.

The bottom of the meme is explicitly calling it out. Those issues are valid, but there’s this shift in blame to the concept of support cycles in general.

The newer versions may be bad, but criticizing them for those bad features makes more sense than demonizing the concept of support cycles

Same here! I’m happy to see the UBports fork is still active as Lomiri, I haven’t checked it out in a while.

Right around when Steam is requiring games to inform users when they install rootkits lmao

I can’t wait until someone cracks it and I can just use it as my go-to source for Nintendo music storage.

This did remind me to create a community for the one subreddit I used the most before I left reddit, r/jakeandamir. Thank you, I did that today!

Most issues stand, and fuck Windows generally, but honestly I don’t quite understand the issue with dropping support for older versions of Windows. Linux distros also do this, so much software does this, it’s just not practical or reasonable to manage all your versions of your software forever.

KDE, because despite my bitterness for the loss of Unity 8, I know it’s merely nostalgia for me. I want something I feel like I can make my own without too much difficulty.

I’ll log in every once in a while to check my pins, and I’ll read threads from web searches, but I don’t at all scroll a feed or post. I never looked back after the blackout shutdown.

Who here actually thinks “goldfish? That’s for kids.”

I’m a little of both, I joined for escaping the reddit blackout shutdown, but I stayed for the advantages of the fediverse. I grew up working with a lot of proprietary software, and I’ve had growing pains as I’ve grown bitter about proprietary software over time. I’ve been self hosting, working on migrating my machines to Linux, and trying to find workable alternatives to everything.

Edit: yes I’m quite techy, a DevSecOps/software engineer. I worked with Linux a long time through VMs and containers, but gaming and Adobe kept me from having a daily driver machine for more than a little while. I don’t think I’ll ever fully escape Windows because I’m a big .NET developer and work with a lot of legacy code, but I’m more than happy to leave that to a QEMU VM.
