‘More equal then the rest’ eh?

Good luck with that, truly an american attitude

You acting like beggars can be choosers lmao, the vr scape is desolate post Zuck

Its got a dataset of billions for tokens, youre better off running the stock market as an antivirus.

Instead if you care use specifically curated programs for the task, like antivirus’

Disney murder case type of legal bullshit vibes here

Not much feelings here, I was just looking into getting krita on one of my few iOS devices and found they wouldn’t be able to comply with their GPL licence with apples structure, but hey were not getting personal here right so I must be wrong (personally)

Most FOSS projects weren’t allowed on the app store due to licencing, and although I think this has changed its also probably pushed off a lot of Foss devs.

Number of files doesn’t really mean much more than number of lines though, especially between languages

They could also DDOS essentially anything with root access to that many devices.

Its like taking all the armies guns to throw them in a volcano ‘cause you want to see the world burn’

“Paying for these adds” lol he owns the platform, sure he’ll probably get some mega donation tax breaks but like all he has to do is flip a couple bits, which is pretty damn cheal

What take then cause I don’t got all day to chase your goalposts and I’m already tired of it

Snails pace??

You wanna take a 2 second peek at the value of bitcoin over the past decade (over 7 years bitcoin is about 3000%, USD is approximately 32% over 10)

Banks do suck but there’s absolutely no reason rich people can’t manipulate bitcoin - maybe even easier than traditional money.

Put your money in gold or something that actually exists instead of an imaginary number that’s limited in supply

‘One of the most successful, widely used, and forked protocols’

SSH is also a protocol, tho I’ll admit maybe its ‘one of the few’ above bitcoin - but I can come up with a page of examples that top it if you need (HTTP, TCP, UDP, RTSP, RGMII…)

Definitely a broad average but I don’t feel like its unfair to say each generation up is a bit more reserved that the younger

God damn bitcoin >> SSH?? (1999)

That’s a pretty steamy take if I’ve ever heard one

Its like China calling itself communist, like sure maybe its 0.1% more than ultra capitalist US, but both they’re both shit

Capitalists will even sell you communism if it makes them a dime, end result is cryptocurrency is half assed solving a problem that doesn’t really exist.

Like inflation is a great example, you shouldnt have to add modifiers onto its definition, inflation is inflation - bitcoin by design must inflate

Termux/X11, sideloading, native Godot, file management, devic recycleability/reuseability, THE FUCKING BACK BUTTON, and crazy enough sometimes privacy even against apple’s marketing stance (this is a bit more controversial, but in a high privacy situation things like universal android debloater just can’t exist on apple - and having Icloud ‘helpfully’ store your encryption keys for you has felt as private as keeping it in my garage server)

But hey for some people the fisher-price option is the best option

A sorta micro VPS per game swarm can be made locally, and other pretty specific use cases but in theory could build up things like parsec arcade in a Foss way

Of course, but by just saying Linux you’re bound to be wrong somewhere - I’m just highlighting its so broad its an essentially useless definition (42% of all computers run it by the way). Gnome is pretty shit for customisability, so what’s more customisable than having another option?

By looking at ‘just Linux’ you couldn’t be more wrong for the core argument.

It also shifts the blame to many smaller devs like matrix which tbh they’re mostly doing work for free so who’s gonna complain they don’t want to add extra complexity, just get in that source code if you really care. And in the age of such easy frontend engines an experienced could probably whip up their own in a week.

Also ive never had issues with qt/flatpaks, using prism launcher as an example, its seamlessly followed my color scheme (not saying bugs don’t exist somewhere I’m not seeing, but there certainly is 'just works support to some degree).

I you’re gonna be mad people don’t like something, yikes open source isn’t for you - git as a whole all but is designed to handle disagreements without breaking its stride.

Uhh Linux is a kernel and on its own doesn’t even support graphics much less customising them.

But if you wanna actually blame someone, we’ll need to know which software youre talking about - could be OPPO’s ColorOS for all we know.

That being said a big name in the Linux world is KDE, and they have one of the best theming engines Ive ever used. Everything QT follows the theme - so much so I didn’t even realise how ugly some apps look on windows (like prism launcher not matching my file explorer?? Eww)

That being said I couldn’t agree more with the first part, and in linux specifically I wish we had more ‘basic display driver’ like tools to handle emergency situations.

Another NDA’d thing would be console integration, theoretically you could better optimize something for the hardware unlicensed if you had reference code
