You know the gist guys: wait for the second or third generation and let the suckers take the fall first.

I’m ignorant about that, care to elaborate?

Isn’t Eugen Rochko the owner of Mastodon? Isn’t he and his company responsible for what happens to it?

Apple products feel like you have an IT department preinstalled on your devices.

But that’s the thing, I’ve seen “cold” being used, not “cool”, and I find it weird as hell.

Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.

NARRATOR’S VOICE: They didn’t.

None, still waiting for third party stores.

That’s a trend I was hoping the EU would start. Come on nations, jump on the bandwagon!

It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don’t have commercial software available on Linux so people won’t use it, so you don’t have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won’t be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

Microsoft went all in with OpenAI and encroached their service into everything. Seeing OA backstab their major investor like this will be freaking hilarious.

I don’t know what version of XP you’re using, but this is not true in the last decade. The only times I reinstalled Windows was when I bought a bigger SSDs to my notebooks and figure to just do a clean one and play with the partitions a little. I never, ever, needed to reinstall because something was broken, even after updates. And my company still have notebooks running for about 6 years without needing a reinstall, which would be a huge headache.

Now on Ubuntu, Fedora, elementaryOS… I always had those implode for one reason or another, usually thanks to system updates. I got my DE dead by installing an app. I got it locked by uninstalling an app. And I wasn’t even doing fancy stuff like using the terminal to hack stuff.

I really wish I could migrate from Windows, specially now withbthis AI crap. The truth is, Linux is an usability nightmare and it still has a long, long way to go. Even macOS is better, and that’s saying a lot.

I’ll go against the grain and give you a straight answer.

Yes. You should leave Israel and never go back.

You owe nothing to your country. If you have the possibility to live in a good European country, do it. You’re no martyr. You’re not billionaire rich. And unless you’re a really high rank offcial, an important politician, or want to sacrifice your entire life to a cause, you have no reason to waste your short life in pain.

We’re in a silly blue rock between a billion trillion systems, none of which care about you. Your existence is not even a blimp in the context of the universe. You’re not important at all. So why waste and suffer on behalf of a thing you have absolutely no control? Be happy, be comfortable, and make those around you happy and comfortable.

Life is pretty hard already, there’s no need to make it harder. Go and be happy.

Quick addendum: I’m not saying that because its Israel. I’m saying that in the context of any country. You owe nothing to it, a piece of land that you manage to be birthed on by being really lucky or unlucky. If you can rectify that and move to a better country to you, you should do it instead of suffering.

The solution is easy, its called “just open the fucking system to app installs”.

Got it, thanks!

OK… ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?

I missed that, my bad.

…until a botched update or a bug sends everything to the cloud, MS makes an about face saying oops my bad, then say it was fixed.

You know that’s not what “native” means, right? Nevermind, me moron can not read.

Yep. To me it was the lack of a working fingerprint reader.
