People want to live near the city center. They want to be able to walk and get anywhere easily and that's means they want to live in an apartment in a city.
Actually, nowadays is cheaper to buy a house with a garden than an apartment and guess what people are trying to buy?
I already watch enough ads when I watch some Youtube on my TV.
This is like when game companies thought that killing piracy would increase their sales.
There are no drivers for the webcam.
It's one of the reasons I'm not buying the Inspiron 16 plus in this moment.

Anyway, now that's not a problem anymore but many other things are not working as expected.
- Shortcuts to switch workspace don't work if you have horizontal workspaces
- The Pop Shop waaay slower than it was to the point sometimes it becomes irresponsive when searching for something
- When I lock the screen it doesn't turn black as it's expected, it stays half awake. At night I have to unplug the external monitors to avoid having them on all night.
These things make me want to throw the computer out of the window. I'll have to look for an alternative once I finish the things I'm working on.
I was hyped up about Cosmic DE when they announced it but not anymore. Not because anything they've done but because I'm being kind of pessimistic about the linux desktop.
A well done spreadsheet is way easier to handle in the long run. For a company or someone with complex finances it may be the right tool but it's not for most people who just want to track their income and expenses..
There are also many services that connect directly to your banks accounts, retrieve the data, categorize everything and shows you fancy charts with everything you need.
For some people that's worse than death. It's a clear message from Putin. Get in my way and you'll end up like him.
Not everybody is going to take that risk.
They tried to murder him and after spending time in a German hospital he decided to go back knowing that they'll imprison him or try to kill him again.
Anyway, maybe I'm getting this wrong but I don't think he's saying that everything has to be 100% open source. He's talking about the tools we need to build everything, that backbone of the software.
In Spain buying is almost impossible unless it's a couple and both have been saving for a decade.
Renting is no different. Prices increase around 20% in my city every year. People used to share in their early twenties but now they are forced to do it in their thirties too. I even know people in their 40s who have to move back with their parents after a breakup because with their salaries they can't afford to rent alone. Rent control is also making things worse.
Last time I've eaten, like a month ago, we asked the waiter what was the difference between two plates and she told us basically that, one was more tender with a light flavour, the other one was stronger.
Just so you know. I did not downvote you.
What kind of garbage is this site? There's no way to go back. It pollutes the whole history. I can go back up to the last 15 visited sites and all of them are this site.
There's a reason people buy gold. 1kg of Argentinian gold has the same value as 1kg of American gold. And both have the same value as 1kg of gold from any ancient civilization. Big rocks as currency is purely anecdotic.
Of course, if you're in the desert and you're thirsty, a bottle of water has more value to you than all the gold in the world, but that doesn't change the fact that through millennia people has seen gold as something valuable that it's not tied to an economy, a country, an empire or even a culture despite de Incas.
I use Telegram Desktop a lot and I want their custom notifications, not the ugly thing that pops up on Wayland which doesn't even take me to Telegram when I click it.
In eastern Europe it's common to see young people building their own houses in rural towns near the big cities. They earn less money, yes, but they don't waste 50% of it on rent.
It's a different way of survival.
The original game from Steam won't run on Linux but if I change the .exe for one that is cracked, it works.
I've been keeping that .exe for years.
