Looks like it’s to lower activity for the holidays, which is a good move. Hopefully they don’t need all hands on deck for some kind of urgent issue until after the holidays are over.

You can express your opinion, but other people can criticize it. It’s just how these sites work.

That’s giving them too much credit. I think they want it to be theirs.

There are pictures and ads in a newspaper. This is much more minimalistic.

Driverless cars can work if enough vehicles are replaced with them. I agree that a few driverless cars in a sea of regular drivers is not optimal though.

I’d rather a simpler phone at this point. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at my phone and felt that it’s too small. I can think of other ways that I’d want phones to be more functional, like connecting to external peripherals and a monitor.

Lots of people are excited about folding phones too though, so more power to them if companies are willing to go that way.

For a $100k device, I would expect better long term support.

Do linux and privacy focused consumers actually make up a large portion of their market share? Linux users still make up a small portion of desktop users, and not even all of those really care much about privacy.

PopOS has been working well for me so far. After a couple of weeks of messing with it to fix some issues, it works seamlessly for the most part. Every so often I find something new though. On Windows I could easily plug in a second pair of headphones and switch between them as outputs. On PopOS it doesn’t work this way. I looked up a fix, but I saw that it will require changing more settings and probably installing some more packages, so I decided not to bother for now, lol.

I will say that I’m not a fan of the weird pop shop. It feels janky to use, and sometimes the gnome software center gives me notifications to install updates when the pop shop also can install those updates. It feels like there should just be one place for updates and new apps by default.

Where do we draw the line for “rich people?” You can’t just have a system where you can hurt and steal as much as you want from rich people. What you’re describing is closer to a revolution, and carrying that idea to its conclusion usually involves a ton of bloodshed and putting new people in power who are just as bad.

Yeah I have no sympathy for advertisers, but this seems like it’s pretty clearly fraud.

I thought that most people from here are just from various influxes of redditors.

It was going to happen eventually. It sucks since so much good content is still housed on youtube. The bright side is that I’ll probably read more when uBlock stops working so well.

There is still the need to add repositories and download packages from the web every so often though. I don’t see why AV isn’t more common. It doesn’t stop the more clever and up to date attacks, but some protection from the simple things wouldn’t hurt.

I was puzzled since my work continued on as usual. I guess my company doesn’t use it.

They kind of have to be about making money. No company survives by putting the needs of the customer above all else, unfortunately.

I think publishers value the fact that steam is essentially a form of DRM, so we got fairly lucky all things considered. Imagine if steam didn’t exist and we had to deal with software like Uplay and Origin.

We need self tightening AI nuts and bolts. We could sell them to Boeing or something idk.
