Not really a language-specific problem, but why should that stop us from this goal?

Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

The number one reason not to switch is “I don’t want to”. And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

‘But muh games’ only very few don’t work OOB or at all.

‘I need this software’ most works flawlessly under Wine.

‘It crashes’ exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

‘Hardware isn’t plug&play’ more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

Jusy say “I dont want to give it a shot” or “I’m in the minority that can’t switch”, but don’t bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads… It’s dishonest and in bad faith.

FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

I get that most don’t care, but that doesn’t mean supporting those companies is good.

So theres BSD, truth.

Thats… what Robinhood doesn’t advertise, and (at least used to) always buys options by default.

So fuck Robinhood.

Where is the app that has only one button ‘Buy ESG’?

Or what?

Nice story, bro.

I’m also up, more years, not Robinhood.

Then you glance over to Wallstreet Bets, they are the direct opposite on the curve.

Yet still almost everyone loses money on exchanges, for various reasons which I don’t want to spend time writing up.

But market has been irrational for many years, with no signals of slowing down.

90% of users lost money while trading

the end result is very much the same

God, I know exactly the sketch

I use Gentoo, that distro is rock solid and easy to use.

And I build my own kernel. It’s really not that hard.

My SO switched to Linux with their latest PC, since they don’t need anything specific. Never even noticed much of a difference. They even play old games on it just fine.

I am in a priviledged position to not accept positions of work which hard-require Windows. I did work for companies with soft-requirements, but it was a corporate with solid Linux community, so they had workarounds for everything.

I’m not saying it’s easy to live the FOSS dream, but if one has the priviledge, they should choose to do so.

As a long time Linux + KeePass user:

FUCK Windows and Microsoft for everything they’ve done to the general public and open-source software with their shit. Yeah yeah they are turning around, but still fuck them.

I have no strong feeling towards Bitwarden, but I will never put my secrets into anything non-FOSS. And I sync it with my Nextcloud.

Stallman was right about software.

I used to, 15 years ago.

Good times.

What? No…

My whole life has been a lie

Does this require any 3rd party to work? I remember reading a blog, something about attesting the client, which was some big corpo like Google/Apple/Microsoft… that’s not for this, right?

I’m lost on this - is this better than GPG?

by the end of this century decade

Yeah, hah, “intelligence”.

It’s ads all the way.

Just my daily lose of LLMentalist

Oh yes, companies knock themselves over trying to gobble up any AI chip in existence.
