maybe the donor is generous and wishes the problem to be solved for more than one laptop. The benefits compound and for example avoid e-waste.

i pronounce it as cauchy

I hope you understand being different is not frowned upon… but rather the constant irritation of people wanting to prove something all the time. Like I get it, people want to be different… but when you want to communicate ideas you gotta find a common ground so talking is at least pleasant.

I don’t want to go through hoops to understand what you’re trying to say! having a good conversation is already hard with all the mindless rage bait.

I too would like to start using porn in my comments because my life isn’t spicy enough or something

Check if systemd has any clues:

1. journalctl -b > systemd-logs.txt
2. grep -C3 -i "error\|fail|warn\|fatal\|can't\|cannot" systemd-logs.txt

I am stupid and I know it

Then why are you expecting me to be any better if you don’t want to stop yourself here and begin the introspection?

Somehow you want people to read your arguments and change their opinion but when people ask you to do the same you just declare you are stupid and refuse to do the very thing that you expect others to do?

what does “London not being like 90s” mean to you?

being kind is actually not political. By definition if someone hates people for anything other than what they do or say… then its the person who creates the political cloud.

you had no problem grouping a whole folk as problematic but suddenly when its about you now you have a problem with it?

do you think it will help if the companies making those 3 apps actually extend linux support?

who is the thief here? One who wants outsized profit beyond 10 generations of children? Or the average overworked joe who hates dealing with the 3rd 2 minute ad on a 10 minute video?

Maybe realise that there’s more important things to worry than denying “projected profits” from a billion dollar megacorp which steals regularly from people (in the form of bribing politicians to make policies that benefit them and disadvantage actual people, or destroying the earth for training LLMs, or stealing content to use for the same LLMs)

Wrong on all counts. the voluntary software authors actually go out of their way to spite users, extension developers and sysadmins by constantly trying to redefine what is a standard UX.

Ah ok you’re comment was descriptive… while mine was idealistic.

that is not true. Speed and turnaround NEVER wins over skill and quality. You need skill to produce stuff fast that is also of value.

I guess I realise now that the value of something is not what people believe it to be. It is the length of suffering and effort the creator went through.

they don’t solve them. They make it harder for you to make mistakes. Doesn’t stop a capable developer from still introducing vulnerabilities.

that html page without js and just links is MORE secure than anything with JS.

How is it a separate discussion?
