Actually, I think in one point you are right: Don’t phase out X. Because that would mean all the horrible people would go to all the alternatives and spread like viruses… So leave X there for honeypot of dumb users.

Libreofficedoes, what Nintendon’t.

I don’t think that ease of use is the problem. The problem is, people want an exact copy. Most people don’t like changes, they just hope that the alternative is the same, just without the issues they leaving it. Same expectations for GIMP and Linux operating systems… (for the normie at least).

Yeah, I’m surprised how many go to Bluesky. It’s just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.

Archuser detected.

Every day with a self crafted (alias) command in the terminal. I use (Endeavour) Arch, BTW.

I don’t even know what All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros is.

It’s basically an official licensed Romhack, mostly (if not only I think) for graphics. “All Night Nippon” was a radio show and game was sold through lottery.

While I am not the biggest fan of Ai (but also not the biggest hater as well, at least for local models), I think banning a topic because you don’t like it is not fair for everyone else. It is already used and part in many sections in our life, so discussing it (either if its good or bad or its pitfalls or recommendations) should be allowed. Especially in a generalized topic such as Open Source or Programming. I mean would you rather like it being silently used and lied about or make it official, and at least then you can filter out and ignore stuff about that topic?

I mean you don’t have to participate in the Ai discussions, but you can allow others to discuss. I don’t understand why you want to ban it for everyone.

But that is a specifically crafted scenario and has nothing to do if the system is private or not. I mean at home you have privacy. Just because someone could break into it does not mean its never private. The Linux PC is private out of the box and by default, because no one else has access to it. You just created a scenario that is not out of the box, but compromised or stolen.

I understand the issue you bring up here, but the chosen language you use is wrong in my opinion. That is why the misunderstandings and why people don’t agree with your statements. I think you are thinking in terms of “Private mode in a browser”.

The data is not sent to any service (at least not without asking you). It is your private data on your private computer. Collecting information and configuration on your PC does not make it less private. A different user on the system can’t access your private data. Private means, that all your private data is not accessible by others (unless you allow to). So yes, most Linux distributions are in fact private out of the box.

That’s amazing. Which distro grew the most? :D
