I wonder why people like OP feel convinced or even good doing rage bait on anonymous accounts like this and generally making the internet a worse place for everyone.

Yunohost.

And here I am, playing the official campaigns of Anno 1602 and fan missions for Thief Gold & Thief 2, sometimes created 23 years ago.

Good stuff.

Perhaps it can give you a warning about that in the app. “Warning: Dingdong too long, offspring fountains in danger”

Didn’t say “ethical billionaire” anywhere, that’s a nonsensical word combination. Just wanted to point out there are differences in what should be done with an Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Rupert Murdoch (who use their power, time and wealth to make the whole damn world a worse place for everyone for their own gain) compared to a Gabe Newell or George Soros.

Because

• Forbes doesn’t even list everyone
• There are rare cases of absurdly rich who don’t deserve harsh punishment (but deserve their fortune to be taken away and fairly distributed, of course)
• Taking info from a private company to do so would be… questionable.

Of course! That health data won’t sell itself.

(The device costs 600$, and to actually get access to your data you then have to pay at least 7$ per month in subscription)

What the fuck?

You mean the euro plug? Guess it was simple due to being compatible with most existing plugs by default, unfortunately meaning no earth pins.

If any new full plug is designed it will be a decade-long project for sure. In the end they can also do stuff like reduce taxes on adapters to 0% or even subsidize them so you could get a 10-pack for 3€ or something. It’s just an annoying political thing as it takes way longer than one legislature.

S̶S̶ G̶E̶S̶T̶A̶P̶O̶ K̶G̶B̶ ICE agents can read?

Not even an AntiMeme can save this nazi shit.

He is… the Watcher?

heavy DrakeNier breathing noises

That’s only 50% of you.

Probably to collect all that it can to sell the data. Or they fucked up the feature and it triggers a connection attempt each second or sth.

Context?

If you attach those huge transformers or motors with a common wall plug I’m certain you’d quickly face different problems, like a cozy fire for example.

Well yes, but also no. I think the plug designs should be unified, but based on the network’s power and frequency. We all know that with truly unified plugs things would blow up constantly because people plug 115V devices in 230V outlets, or are pissy on social media due to 230V 50hz not being the same as 230V 60hz. “But the plug is the same!!” (angry electronic fizzling in the background)

Not being able to plug them in the other way around would drive me nuts. I prefer Schuko.

No one is forcing anyone to use it, so use it or ignore it.

That’s a little bit naive to say in todays’ IT landscape. Everyone who wishes to keep their privacy and personal safety - which quite frankly should be everyone - only has the option to run some Linux or BSD for their personal computing.

It will always need more effort on the part of the user to get going with it

That’s not true, thanks to hardware vendors as well as lots and lots of work of many people. The culture is still a problem though, as it effectively gatekeeps certain settings like Bootloader (“no normal user should ever have to change those”) or Service Management (“No normal user is supposed to touch those anyway”) behind an enormous skill level most people should not have to reach instead of a GUI people can navigate and understand. Not to mention that many seriously treat CLI commands as universal, something that repeatedly breaks systems of users who’re then rightfully pissed off.

there is no end game with Linux - no inherent need to be used and loved by everyone.

Again, if there were accessible alternatives that respect and protect the user that would be true, however there are not. The “endgame” (bad word for it) should be to finally reach accessibility-parity with Windows so everyone can actually use it.

I get what you want to say, but the circumstances we’re in don’t support your opinion on these things. Arguing like this perpetuates the more often than not rather unwelcoming (as in elitist) nature in the community.

Don’t forget accessibility. Proper GUIs are accessible, they convey function and meaning through form. People constantly forget that.
