In all these other platforms, he is not the moderator of the comments. They can be censored or removed, and one of those corporations can decide that now you are not allowed to have that opinion anymore.

Falkon is not a top browser so of course it's not going to be the default choice for Linux or any other operating system.

Linux users today are using the same apps people use on Windows or Mac OS. We just have so much more choice and much less annoyances. For example, our operating system is silent in the background doing its job.

There is a stillness and a quiet quality to Linux that the other operating systems don't have at all.

If you need the vaccines to get immunity, why haven't most people who never vaccinated died or ended up in hospitals?

You only get control over your computer if you learn Linux.

Yes yes I'm aware of the hardware chips from Intel that let intelligence agencies take over computers but they are not used constantly, streaming data every day to Apple or Google. It's a huge difference.

Australia, Canada, Austria are probably the countries that really showed their true colors during this pandemic.

Zero respect for their citizens.

It's great that they are investing in Gnome but I don't think adding progressive Web apps into Gnome is something anyone asks for.

Rather I would put money into evolving Gnome with new features like system76 guys are doing with their own desktop environment in Rust.

Threads turn toxic because people treat eachother like the enemy. We constantly fail to respect the other person when he or she has a different point of view.

I'm just happy this is the top comment now. During these last two years, you were treated like a mad conspiracy theorist if you felt the vaccines were dangerous to the human body.

Maybe people are understanding now?

Go to kagi.com and ask for an invite. I think they have a serious chance to beat Google. Results are really good.

Too bad the people who saw this 2 years ago was called conspiracy theorists.

It seems to me that at least 80% of the population just does what the TV tells them, as long as the people on there has nice titles and credibility.

Probably less than 1% look up the criminal history of the cdc, the who, fauci, big pharma and so on.

I'm just stating the obvious here but man, it's interesting to watch humanity act like ants following authority without any hesitation.

What's so hard about reading about these people?

I don't understand the need for this.

Everyone reading this code will have to spend 5 times as much time understanding it compared to vanilla exception handling version.

Why can't developers just stop complicating things?

I think the coming years will see a push to move away from Google and these megacorps in general.

It will start with the nerds like us as always, starting to use alternative products and recommending them to the mainstream people who just use what they are told.

I run 300 fps with a nvidia card in counterstrike using wayland and gnome, so perhaps it's not the driver that is your problem.

I share my desktop screen in Google Meet using pipewire as well, and just like you say, I get a choice which screen or window I want to share and that's it.

Wayland is very stable these days.

I'm more surprised it free. Its an amazing product with high quality plugins.

The notes are also stored on your computer so you don't even have any cloud dependency or anything.

I really enjoy using it and would pay a one time amount for it no problem.

I also ended up with Jetbrains Mono but Ive been too lazy to switch from Fira Code which is also really good. But soon!

No we must vaccinate with at least 3 more shots. Pfizer jets doesn't come cheap you know.

I just deleted my blizzard accounts last week. Looks like perfect timing!

Exactly the same thought I had after installation. The system will get old and buggy real fast without a good package manager.

Google search has been pretty stale in features for a very long time now, with worsening search results and decreased privacy as features.

For me, covidiots are the people who keep taking booster shot 5, 7, 15, 25 and so on, and then go "yeah I got very sick but if I didn't take the vaccine, I would have been much sicker" :)

Be thankful, they are showing you what life is like without reddit.

Turns out its amazing.

It's interesting how people want so different things. I can't stand windows for 5 minutes before it's user interface starts to really annoy me. And mac looks great but all the Linux technology underneath is from the Stone Age.

Just to explain why I love Linux so much - when I'm in Gnome, I'm not bothered by any alerts or notifications or popups or sounds or ads or anything! It's a silent, stable, good looking desktop that runs my programs and doesn't get in my way at all. It's amazing! I truly love it.

Because people rarely can contribute in equal amounts, unless it's something simple, like walking.

Thank god we have these fact checkers now, otherwise we would actually have to use our own judgement as adults, and we all know where that leads - people coming to the "wrong" conclusions!

People being up the Linux kernel on the same way they bring up Oprah as an example of being successful in America.

99.99999% of software in big corporations will not have even 5% of the quality of the Linux kernel. The reason the kernel has such a high quality is because of Linux being a dictator, training everybody in not always so nice ways to write code that doesn't break anything and that is maintainable.

He cares about the code and he has the status and the mandate to prevent it from becoming shit.

You listed the reason it's a mess yourself - many people worked on it and it's old.

For big companies there is no incentive at all for a developer to personally care about and do battle over things like code quality and reduce complexity.

If they are use any kind of agile (lol) system, it will just be about polishing the turd so it doesn't break and add features in some way that doesn't require big rewrites.

I tried doing this and my team said they are not "code monkeys" and want to be involved in every meeting and discussion.

Go figure. :)

I'm sorry but you need to learn how to format text into paragraphs if you expect people to read that. Just honest advice.

Not much innovation in new versions anymore but I'm still excited to be running Firefox.

It's something about using a browser written for privacy from day one.
