Lmao this is precisely how I thought this would turn out.

I mean, I was already radicalized in that respect, but it’s definitely reaffirming that radicalization.

But also: I fuckin told you so. This progression was so blindingly obvious from the get-go.

I don’t mean to imply it’s perfect, but as a relatively popular distro to use as a daily driver, I’ve been happy with it overall.

Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.

I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.

activates vpn why yes, I AM a citizen of the EU!

Lmao cry more, shitass. Catch us if you can.

You can’t.

Screw that, I want a phone that folds into a fucking origami crane

Just… why…?

I’m all about paying my fair share of taxes, but the way our tax laws are set up are utterly asinine, and they’re the way they are because tax prep companies literally spend millions of dollars every year lobbying to keep them complicated, because the complexity is literally the foundational aspect of their entire business model. I am absolutely not going to defend how insane and Byzantine US tax law is, nor should anyone.

IRS:

You gotta do a bunch of math, and if you fuck it up, you go to jail

Again: name them. Describe the failures.

I simply don’t believe that you have 100% incompatibility, and I say that because I use a decently broad selection across several devices without any serious issues. Sure, they’re not perfect, but they’re a damn sight better than snaps, and in my experience, decently reliable.

Back your claims with data, or be prepared to have people like me call bullshit.

lol what are you talking about? One of my daily drivers is Kinoite and it works great. What flatpaks are you having issues with? Frankly, you must be being hyperbolic, because tons of people use tons of flatpaks without issue.

Yeah, I was not loving how hard they’re going for snaps, but the whole “Ubuntu Pro” bullshit scaremongering just 100% turned me off of the distro.

It’s not gore, and it’s not that scary. It’s “haha OH FUCK WHAT lol glad that wasn’t any worse 😅”

Did you watch the video? It was basically a flash and then they immediately stopped because lighting the kid on fire was not the intent here. He was barely singed, and was clearly amused after the initial shock.

I have heard that a lot of corps in less privacy/data sensitive fields have been strongly encouraging employees to use it to “boost throughput”, and it’s because the C-suites had An Idea that it’d be great to sign a multi-million dollar contract with MS or whatever cloud LLM provider, except nobody uses it because in many cases it’s just worse than useless, and not that many people give enough of a shit to essentially learn how to be a “prompt engineer” on top of their normal jobs.

It’s amusingly similar to how all the RTO initiatives are actually motivated by the C-suites being super pissed that their expensive corporate real estate is a giant waste of money in many cases, despite the fact that people are often working better and more efficiently from home.

Stunning and brave!

Boioioioioioioing

Sounds like something a meathead would say 🤔
