If this project has other contributors, imagine how betrayed they must be.

Opening the project as FOSS until it becomes popular and then closing it to make money is such a scummy tactic

No, though it is weird that you feel like you should ask such nonsensical questions in public forums.

Yeah we all know this “security feature” is to root out ReVanced and other mod users.

What does it have over base Arch?

It’s Pichai’s handiwork from what I understand. He was in charge of it before becoming CEO according to Wikipedia.

Hey, they at least prioritise contributing upstream. Canonical is much worse.

The article is not at all answering the headline

Yes indeed, Sir. Your generation was the only Enlightened one, everyone younger than you is just a reel-addicted monkey incapable of reading.

Huh? That game is among the least lively in its genre. Even Cyberpunk2077 NPCs were more immersive.

Go back to reddit if all you have is cringy shit to post like this

Microsoft plays just like it has always played - with OEM contracts and being the default OS choice. Linux remains niche as long as Microsoft has this, unless they decide to roll out a mainstream distro themselves.

It’s not just to start an argument. I have tried so, so hard to shift to Linux. Nuked perfectly working setups just to take the jump to the “free” side (including Arch, btw).

It all only ended in frustration and disappointment. So everytime people toot “year of the Linux desktop” it only makes me laugh.

Some apps? “Very few” apps? Buddy, you either aren’t running much software at all or are delusional. Entire Desktop Environments to this day have ass fractional scaling that can’t render things correctly without eating up resources and making them look horribly blurry. Fonts look terrible and have bad kerning even with all anti-aliasing settings correctly set. Even colors are dull across the board by default. Not to mention there will always be random glitches and your graphics card fan will always be on full power unless you turn it off because of shit throttling even with official Nvidia drivers.

Just try using browsers and file managers between Linux distros and Windows on default settings on medium-tier, 5-year-old machines side-by-side, the difference will be starkly visible - from responsiveness and animations to general look quality.

Have you guys fixed your graphics stack to keep up with current High-DPI and HDR displays yet? No? LOL happy new year of the eyesore desktop to you too

this year, for the first time, I had to intervene to protect female students from the toxic behavior of male groups. More then once.

Is it that bad? Sorry, I genuinely thought you were only complaining about the kids being undisciplined in class and the like. What you’re describing is scary, may I ask what were they doing? Are today’s kids entering criminal territory of harassment? I thought things like bullying have been progressively declining over years?

You at least have to appreciate the effort that went into writing this

I don’t want to be rude but you really should not continue teaching (at least in the same way) if you are that repulsed or disconnected from your students.

Students will always have different priorities and mindsets than their teacher would like them to have, and most times they’ll be wrong; it’s a part of life in acads. Most of these youngsters have had very little exposure to the world and it is bound they’ll make mistakes. That’s what school is for. And they will certainly not remain the same, just like anyone from your generation as well, when they get older.

You cannot just get into teaching and not expect delinquency, that’s not how it works. Just focus on getting the subject matter of whatever you’re teaching through their heads and ensure everyone understands the concepts, the “bad” idealogues will eventually get sorted out themselves.

Social media dominantly uses algorithms that fine-tune user feeds according to what they think will lead to highest engagement and end up becoming personalized echo chambers. They provide the exact opposite of “a more diverse set of news”.

I have, unironically, never seen anyone using three monitors together on a PC in my life.

Literally all of them have shite color management and fractional scaling that blurs everything. It’s an eyesore.

I really, really want to use Linux for multimedia consumption but I can’t.
