I’ve never watched any of his videos. They just don’t appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, it’s good for linux.

The more people acknowledge linux’s existence, the more engagement, the more growth.

Here’s hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.

I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.

I think I read somewhere they want to buy Chrome from Google if they are forced to sell. So not many changes, just switching owners who ultimately do the same thing.

i’m not a Chrome user, so screw both google and perplexity.

don’t forget the rudeness of some people. they behave like the whole building is a hotel and they can do whatever they damn well please.

If it were up to me, I would obliterate this concept. Hotels are for holidays, not people’s houses where everyone brings along their holiday brains and are being generally disrespectful towards the communities.

Maybe Sam Altman should invest in LLMs that appreciate his insights and pretend to give a shit.

Well, I guess there is no universal answer and it obviously can’t be some generic method of achieving this,but what I did was to explain in detail how MsOffice is basically just a standard because people made it so out of convenience and lack of true alternatives and it’s not cheap, plus whatever is made freely available by a corporation means it’s actually you paying with your data for it.

It’s a process and you’d have to convince him to at least allow you to show them side by side or explain how it’s always up to date and you don’t have to throw money at it every x years just because it’s called MsOffice202x, because the benefits of upgrading are not worth the money.

It ain’t easy, I know… but I am also providing support myself when requested, which can become a headache fast, especially with “difficult” people.

I managed to get my father in law to fully switch to libreoffice, which is in itself a great achievement, as he’s almost 70 and he used to be an msoffice user for most of his adult professional life.

Libreoffice is just great and Europe should start backing and using more open source, non greedy corporate backed projects.

i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.

Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.

Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.

i’ve been on linux on and off since 1998, however I fully switched about 5 years ago and never looked back.

I was curious around 3 months ago, between distro swapping and I installed W11. It lasted 2h until I rage installed linux and took me an entire day to wash the windows taste off. bleah…

Le chat almost made it.

over it is then. Buh bye!

very cool. thanks for sharing this. they even have an official flatpak.

I was planning a holiday in the US this or next year, but decided not to proceed with it. I’d rather go anywhere else now really. Currently for me Russia = India = China = North Korea = USA now. Plenty of european countries I’d rather throw my money at.

Which is the reason I don’t have a discord account. I just can’t be bothered.

tell me about it. i’ve recently been sort of forced to switch from android to ios (some special circumstance) and holy shit, the virtual keyboard is atrocious.

I would immediately jump on a blackberry keyboard phone when and if one ever gets released.

only for it to be a safari wrapper on ios…

not really the same thing but it could happen to anyone: https://www.reuters.com/legal/apple-pay-95-million-settle-siri-privacy-lawsuit-2025-01-02/

Oh, I deleted it like 1 year ago. it was probably slightly more reputable back then. it does make it easier in some cases to have a centralised way of handling payments, but I’d rather struggle with inserting my cards each time.
