It did! Thank you for sparking the conversation.

Fair enough.

Personally the “learn more noun” bit tripped me up for a moment, so I thought to mention after figuring it out. The information is appreciated regardless.

I keep seeing comments about NixOS. As a relative newby just messing around for themselves, is there anything stopping me from/I should know about taking the plunge?

I’ve only dipped my toe in Ubuntu.

Ah, yes. Because a publicly traded company would never look for additional revenue streams atop their high margins.

Oh…

The cost of living is already going up and people are already dying unnecessarily, the rich aren’t nearly as affected by it.

Stop talking about the “apocalypse” as if they have no way to prepare for it.

If they want to burn the planet down they’re in the same shit we are.

They have considerably more wealth. If/when food and water get scarce they’ll have a considerable advantage, if the current system continues as it is.

But imagine he would’ve been able to gain even more interest on that 4% she stole!

This is a devastating loss.

The expressed sentiment obviously doesn’t apply to regular people trying to sell their previous home.

Even so, that doesn’t defeat the rest of my argument

He should just sell his house

What a delightful and helpful attitude.

True, but if those same people they’re not supposed to be friends with are the ones inviting them to those events/granting them early access…

In other words: the system is rigged.

It was always obvious that a Democrat was going to win the seat

Just like how it was obvious Trump wasn’t gonna win in 2016?

Making the voice of an opponent louder just because you don’t want to go up against one of your own team is very disappointing. Sure, maybe it worked out this time, but it also means the republicans will have a larger base next election. How often can this game be played?

They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.

But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.

You may get a second pop-up when it begins installing the anti-cheat, but that depends on how the application is configured.

Ubisoft Connect gives me three (!) separate pop-ups whenever it has an update. (or at least it used to).

And Arizona would be nowhere near second, as the 14th most populated state.

Recently I stumbled on Relay, still going strong with a subscription model (because API fees).

That said, I refuse to return to that platform.

Coats, and devices for that matter, used to be built to last and be repairable. But if your customer consumer never needs to buy another product from you now that wouldn’t make much business sense would it?

“We’re scaling back in crowded market segments and instead focussing on AI! A totally not crowded segment.”

I would’ve actually been interested in Mozilla’s VPN/Footprint scrubbing services as a “trustworthy” company, but they’re not even available here yet and by the sound of it never will. Now instead they’ll be playing catch-up in another market.

It’s difficult to remain excited with news like this, but I want there to be alternatives to Chromium so I’ll keep using Firefox.
