Exactly. It’s the hours that suck, depending on shift. Do you forever want to live life in 3rd shift? If you have kids, you’ll rarely see them… You’ll be asleep when they’re awake and at work when they are.
It’s just not ideal for most people.
I just dropped ours down to 2screens, for now…I still think we may well cancel fully. But, we’ll see.
Right?!? I didn’t think anyone else loved Slide. I’m so damned excited!!
The slide for Lemmy makes me sooo happy. My mouth is hanging open and I’m just… I cannot freaking wait!! Thank you 🙏
I understand why I should care about encryption, in theory. In practice, 90% of the time, I don’t. If I’m texting my kids ‘hey where are you?’ or my husband: what do you want for dinner?’ or a friend, ‘hey, come hang out!’ - I just don’t care. And putting up with all the hassles that come with encryption via matrix… It’s just, generally, far more hassle than it’s worth, IMHO.
Honestly, if Ubuntu hadn’t pushed snaps so damned hard, I’d probably still be running Ubuntu. I don’t hate them. But… They’re just obnoxious. Honestly, I wish Flatpaks and Appimages weren’t pushed so hard on other distros too. But, such is life.
My kid uses krita with a drawing tablet, something I’m honestly not sure is even possible with gimp.
It’s also what creates a ton of bugs and problems, both for users and developers. People hate on Gnome for being very standard without a lot of config options, but it makes a ‘standard’ Gnome desktop possible in a way that just doesn’t exist for KDE.
Honestly, this is our experience too. My kids play on their computers and the Xbox probably 90% of the time. The PS5 getting very minimal use. The switch at least has the virtue of being portable, and thus gets hauled around.
This. I’m interested to see if/ how 3rd party apps are actually effected. I cannot imagine having to actually install reddits real app. We’ll see.
True. The problem with that, is that Microsoft pays to have windows installed. Such that it’s actually cheaper to buy a system with windows and delete it than to buy one with Linux preinstalled.
It’s also very hard, if not impossible in some cases to find old conversations on discord, vs forums where they’re mostly preserved for eternity.
And, you’d be wrong. Works don’t lose their copyright just because they go out of print and are hard to find. Thanks to Disney, copyright survived for the length of the authors life plus 90 years.
