Built-in OneDrive and RDP support. No apps needed. I like the sound of that.

I’d of thought

Interesting grammar.

Where are you from?

Uh, most apps are still for Windows. That’s why so many people use it.

If you tell someone to use an alternative OS, but then they are left on their own to run alternative versions of apps that don’t work the same, forced to give up features they are use to, or run dozens of different programs through Wine or Proton or emulation or virtualization or whatever, JUST BECAUSE “Microsoft bad”, they’re going to laugh at you and go right back to Windows.

It’s taken Linux 30(?) years to make it to 4%, and a lot of that is recent because of games. It’s still a niche platform.

“Canonical announced it was building an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop.”

I don’t like the sound of this.

Step 1: invent imaginary problem/scenario

Step 2: ANGERY

They usually cover/conceal nipples, so you don’t see everything.

In the list of “games”, the top item is the “Just Talking” or whatever the category is called. Click that and try various sorting.

I never knew that pirating kids was such a problem.

I installed Firefox (Android version) on a Chromebook to see if I could keep 2 browsers with separate profiles and setups.

The Firefox browser on a Laptop computer looked awful. A narrow phone UI, but stretched really, really wide. It made no attempt at utilizing a wide tablet layout.

joke’s on you. i can’t read

After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.

There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are “official”. The one package that has a “verified” check also has a full description of just the word “blah”, so it’s clear it’s not the real one and the “verified” checkmark means nothing.

Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others’ work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.

And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.

Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.

After any Ubuntu install:

    apt purge snapd

Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

They’ve been know as the party of obstruction for a long, long time.

IPv6 only is still problematic.

Well, you see, it’s only been around 20 years or so. We need another 20-40 years of “IPv6 is coming” reminders before people really take a look at it.

Users can block instances

Finally!

I’ve had enough creepy/disgusting furry and pedophile drawings on my feed. That “yiffit” instance will be the first that I block.

“Capitalism is dead. Now we have something much worse”

Capitalism 2.

They were willing to fuck over some people and drive them completely out of business.

Which people? Developers. The very people that helped make Unity what it is. Unity wanted to completely crush their own developers. Some estimates put Unity’s fees higher than 100% revenue in some scenarios.

Them back-tracking and saying “wow! we didn’t expect this to be so hated!” shows that they either don’t understand numbers (they do) or that they think their users are idiots.

So why would developers want to come back to them?

I’m still waiting for the spooky stuff I’ve been hearing about for years.

I’m being tracked. My information sold and exchanged. Big, evil corporations trading my data with other companies like it was baseball cards. All my inner-most desires leaked!

All to get an ad for a “litter box robot” or whatever when I’m browsing memes.

Moto?

Motorola lost my business when they sold me a phone and then provided a grand total of ONE OS upgrade its entire life (Moto G LTE, shipped with an outdated 4.4 build, and then got a single update to 5.1 before being abandoned forever).

There is no potential for brand loyalty when the brand themselves tell their own customers to fuck off.
