I would love to have an analogue of Cecil Harvey IRL. Unfortunately, I see no indication of rebellion from any of Trump’s lackeys.

I did not know that. It’s not that I don’t appreciate his enthusiasm, but articles like this do more harm than whatever good he thinks he’s doing.

In StatCounter’s latest US numbers, which cover through October, Linux shows up as only 3.49%. But if you look closer, “unknown” accounts for 4.21%. Allow me to make an educated guess here: I suspect those unknown desktops are actually running Linux. What else could it be? FreeBSD? Unix? OS/2? Unlikely.

This is where I stopped reading. “Educated guess”, my ass. Let’s call it what it actually is: wild speculation. ZDnet lets just anyone write articles, I guess.

Man, I hate that phrase. Being a part of one family is already a handful, why would I need another one?

This already exists, sort of. It’s called Trinity Desktop. However, it’s a fork of an older version of KDE, specifically 3.5.

Oh my god, I never made that connection. Thank you.

Who are these “lemmy libs”? What are these opinions that seem to incense them? I haven’t seen any posts that would fit this meme’s description and it feels like I’m losing my mind.

Are desktop shortcuts still a no-no with this distro?

It takes about a decade to get through a single show.

I have a few experiences working with acedemics, and it always seems to be abbreviation first, long form later. I kinda hated this practice. Not everything needs a catchy and marketable name. Often times it wasn’t even an abbreviation, but instead it was like:

STUBBLES: Study of Faulty Abbreviations and Failure to Understand Words

I’ll have to take your word for it. Truth be told, I don’t read much of their articles. And it looks like it’s going to stay that way.

What do you mean? He even wears red!

And that’s completely valid and fair. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. But I do have to stress that I’m not so much criticising the bullet points as I am the general tone of the article. #6 should read like your reply, but instead it feels like the reader should feel bad for not wanting support from humans as opposed to an automated system.

And here I was, thinking this was a well thought out article with actual, legitimate reasons why someone wouldn’t want to use Linux. Instead, it’s this smug, autofellating, condescending bullshit. Roland Taylor has some issues.

I hated Windows Update. There were other reasons, but this was the main one.

The memory mafia strikes again. Great.

I’m not an artist by any definition, but I am wholeheartedly behind the sentiment of excising the cancerous growth that is the Adobe company out of existence. You may have seen this website before, but have you checked out fuckadobe.com? Alternatives are a little ways down, past the wall of text.

Dear lord, it even alters the URL. That is so wildly unnecessary.

I’m floored that the user gave Google’s AI access to their machine in the first place. Wouldn’t it be better if it was confined to Google Drive or whatever? Now consider Microsoft Copilot, which at this point is all but baked into the OS. Something tells me situations like these are only the beginning.
