Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different

Totally unexpectable!!!

Telegrams billionaire founder claims that he is bankrolling the thing with his personal wealth. I’m pretty sure he also claimed at one point that the average user cost them $6 per year, or something along those lines.

1. Idiot proofing
2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
3. Idiot proofing
4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.

Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.

They decreased it?? People always complain about max file sizes being too small.

Also, how is telegram able to offer 2 GB per file and 4 GB on premium? In comparison, that seems astronomical!

Ooookkay,

what

Cookie jar… I will use that term from now on

Wow, who could have guessed

You have a point. It really depends on how much the Admins enforce this rule.

Wow, a normal person on the internet. Thank you for existing.

Scientific consensus is still a thing. You can find out what a majority of well accepted studies say, whether something is controversial or not. Sure, some all new discovery in nuclear physics might not have consensus yet but whether you can feed cats a plant only diet should. If it doesn’t thats probably because everyone assumed that was a dumb thing to research that wouldn’t provide any unexpected results.

I, and I’m sure many others, will not take someone who thinks COVID is “controversial” with no “clear harmful position” seriously.

I’m not sure what your opinions on COVID are but if you’re anti-science on this one then I disagree with you.

An arbitration committee you say? This is giving me Wikipedia vibes.

Alleged and mostly bullshit from the Telegram founder it seems.

Wasn’t there some controversy about Signal’s creation being supported by the US government to provide private communications for anti-us-enemy organisation or something? I’m sure I remember it correctly…

Windows update would always start doing stuff whenever I turned on my PC and would slow it down to a laggy crawl until it finished. This increased the pressing the power button to doing what I need to do time to 15 minutes.

I knew that Linux updates worked differently so I tried it out. And I was right. Oh so right

I sure don’t, let the mods see it for their communities but not for everyone

Some believe that competition is finally ramping up.

We have color and okayish refresh rates now!
