Yeah, as an American it’s disturbing and makes it hard to believe we can change things. You’ve described it very well.

Good

What are some examples? What makes them so much more evil than Adobe?

What are some good other options? I haven’t kept up with the advances with this stuff in a few years.

Great way of saying it. That has always bothered me as well.

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

Idk sounds to me like you are the change we need. You’re investing your energy into the future without asking for selfish repayment. You’re good people. From my perspective you are still keeping that hope of a better future alive and burning, nurturing it in the hearts and minds of the young, allowing it to grow strong in a protected environment. You are EXACTLY what the world needs right now. So thank you Internet friend.

I switched to Mint this month and have only run into issues with anti-cheat. I’ve tried about 8 different games. Halo Infinite had some odd textures the first time I ran it, but not since.

All in all I’m very happy with my OS switch.

My positive experience with my Steam Deck got me to take the plunge and now I’m happily gaming on Mint.

I don’t message anyone with an iPhone. Other than the different colored bubbles what does it do? How is the quality degraded?

It just seems like Apple kept it separate so their obsessed fans would have something to feel superior about.

The power to be comfortable in any environment in just shorts and a T-shirt. No sunburn, no soggy shoes in the rain, warm while sitting in a snow drift.

Yeah this isn’t true. While automation has made machines more effective than humans in many cases, they haven’t made human labor less effective. Not sure why you would think that. Advances in tools and software have made every sector of the workforce more productive. There’s a million little things.

They have flattops at fast food places that cook the top and the bottom of the burger patty at the same time. So one worker can do more. Roofers have faster and lighter nail guns letting them work for longer. Hell, when I did lawn care as a teen you’d see another crew with some fancy new mower every month, and the improvements were usually worth the costs.
