I went all in so I wouldn’t change my mind but the first year I was pretty nuch entirely problem free. I have had issues since, however. But compared to the work I put in on Windows unfucking things I think its been trivial.

You don’t think you are being a tad judgemental?

People whose lives revolve around fashion probably think you dress like shit.

People who love food probably think you eat like shit.

People who love cars probably think you are a shit driver.

You probably love computers and care about privacy, and you are shitting on regular users(assumption, admittedly) for not being invested.

They had something that was working, you present noscript, thing no longer works. If you are not invested, how are you going to see the appeal of extra work?

Classic Microsoft move to implement something new, then not let go of the old thing and run them jankily side by side. Settings / Control panel is a prime example.

And at work its janky crossovers between Active Directory and Azure/Intune/Entra/other dumb names.

Being free always raises the question of what they are getting out of you using it. I wouldn’t be entirely comfortable using it.

That’s all I am waiting for. Edge and Chrome have really good ones and I really want it for FF.

Telegram is my favourite IM app, but it doesn’t do all the things that Discord does and is not a viable replacement.

I have both of those apps and they have a fraction of the functionality Discord has.

Discord my have issues in terms of not being foss, data collection etc etc but other than that I think it’s a chat app that has no viable contender. Nothing comes close to the same out of the box functionality.

Hey so I know you deleted the Edge shortcut from your desktop the last three times, but this time I think you’ll really like it, so I added it back!

Nothing just works.

I run Linux, not because I think it’s great, but because Windows is awful, and keeps getting worse. Furthermore it keeps abusing its majority market share to get away with increasingly scummy behaviour.

My Linux experience has been a lot more tinker free than Windows. There’s a ton of distros to choose from for the uninvested, my 60 year old mum runs Linux at this point and the only difference is she stopped calling all the time for tech support.

Right here, how’s that going to help someone who is having issues? Or am I just meant to gloat a bit?

Charging money is actually illegal in most parts of the world

I’ll pay for convenience or a good service. When the legal option is more work than piracy that’s a problem. The entertainment industry at this point is kind of infamous for how late they are to adapt to changes. It took ages to accept streaming as a viable option, but they finally accepted it and found a way to make it terrible, too.

It’s not convenient when I can’t find what I want to watch, it’s not convenient when the show I am watching is suddenly gone from the streaming library. It’s not convenient when only a sequel to a movie is available for viewing.

Steam is a great example of how to make a great service that is actually convenient.

I think there’s a few models that are not really advertised, don’t know them though.

Seems unattractive for manufacturers since apparently 50% of income on TVs is user data.

We recruit people with no IT background sometimes and we are doing great, consistently beating every other branch since a massive corporation bought us out. We have a great team that helps eachother out, but more importantly we work closely together with all the senior people within the company, most starting out in first line themselves at some point.

If there’s something a first liner is interested in they can schedule an appointment with someone who is our main player in that field and have a personal little course in that platform/whatever.

Seems your guys are very “us and them”, which helps no one.
