I miss waking up at 3am to see what the new 4 hour deals with crazy discounts would be.

See, the trick is to own everything.
Then you don’t even care about sales anymore because you already own anything and everything thats on sale and interesting.
yep. They dont have any fear cause they dont think they’re doing anything wrong, They are just living up to the expectations of the person that they think obviously respects them and “helps” them.
Really living up to that Project part of GOP, eh?
you would be surprised at how far a useful idiot would go for you, all for a seat at a table and a pat on the head.
Hell, look at what Trumps done for Russia with regard towards destroying our democracy and destabilizing our country, all because Putin gave him a few puffed up words of fake praise.
wonder who he pissed off that ordered the supreme court infiltrators to rule against him.
Authorative drive is what makes software more inclusive. It can focus the resources and attention where its needed, to create a superior product. Linus being a bulldog with the Kernel is proof enough with that.
Design by commitee does not make things more inclusive. It just leads to people not getting their way, having a huff, and screaming “I’M GOING TO FORK THIS AND GO MAKE MY OWN VERSION, WITH BLACKJACK, AND HOOKERS!”, and now you have two teams doing the same thing, and being lesser due to the split dev time and attention. and will probably lead to more forks, and more splits of teams.
Doesnt mean it has to be monolithic/monoculture. but a single product that serves 80% of everyones wants and desires is a better, superior product to one that tries to cater to and serve 100% to each, different individual.
and most people wont even notice the 20% difference in their everyday usage and life. They just get told something, or get a wrong idea, and are hard pressed to give it up cause humans can rarely admit their own wrong.
I 100% put money on the fact that linuxes surge in popularity and usability is 100% because Valve, a multi-billion dollar company, stepped in and started dragging it forward in ways that the fractuous nature of the community never could.
Windows 11 being a spytastic invasive dogpile was just extra fuel on the fire.
To much diversity of options and choices are just as bad and damaging as having none at all.
yeah, linux is super usable for every day shit, and even gaming now. I havent had a significant problem in years, and i’m not a sysadmin or something that knows the mystic ways of the commandline or anything. I’m just a random idiot
better times, man… better times…
you got no idea how much i miss those.
Miss my old purple and grey packard bell with windows 3.11
they also love spitting on 9 year olds who dare to wear shorts and t-shirts in the middle eastern summer, and call them whores and harlots.
I dont know, I dont think Canada has much room to throw bricks in glass houses at the moment.
one of the few hurdles gaming on linux hasnt fully managed to climb over is modding gamebryo games. Mostly because the mod managers themselves are a pita.
Exactly why I use browser and not apps, too. and if they try to strongarm me with better prices or degraded services, I just stop using them all together.
how is everyone remembering their ICQ number?
I forgot mine 5 minutes after adding it to Trillian.
Russian propaganda is coming from the tankies from .ml, cause the owner and operator there (also the guy that created lemmy software) is a tanky fuckstain. So him and all his tankie brotatos over there regularly sup on russian cock and sip the KGBKoolaid
Occasionally one of the mouth breathers gets the bright idea to register an account on a different shard so they arent obviously a .ml, but they are still obviously tankies
Yes, exactly.
a pat on the head and some puffed up words.
