I'm pretty sure this is happening with ADHD meds too.

Rooting has always been beyond most users, even if it's technically trivial. It's definitely solvable, unfortunately most solutions in this direction tend to draw attention of corporate legal teams.

I'm assuming they also saw the age and jumped ahead into the mourning process.

The "two steps forward, one step back" maneuver. Classic.

In other words, they have a systemic issue is where the threat of prosecution isn't enough to deter employees from supplementing income with theft.

I wonder what kind of conditions led to that.

I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It's been a pain but I've managed. I'm just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

It's not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don't care.

I think that's part of the problem with conservatives. They're already living in abject fear of everything.

They've been groomed into believing a civil war is imminent and their neighbors are the enemy, to the point where they've started making moves toward actual civil war with their neighbors.

They've been all been told: "There is the enemy, these are their flags, here is a gun, we can keep you out of jail."

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

My first thought was "wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?" No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

Edit:

Actually it's worse than that, isn't it? They're seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

Good luck with that I guess.

Just admiring the kill.

Thanks for the heads up. Pretty fucked we have to live in a world where we can't be completely open with our health care professionals.

That's me, sorta. For the first time since I turned 21 (so almost 15 years), I can have just one drink and not want another. I didn't even really try to cut back, it just happened naturally after I took up cannabis.

Looking back, it's kind of incredible how much alcohol was bringing me down.

I've lost 50 lbs in the past year. It is almost entirely due to the fact that I replaced alcohol with weed after it became legal here. I sleep better, eat better, I'm less anxious, and I actually look forward to working out now.

It's very hard to see any downsides.

I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by

I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I'm waiting to see just how hard they push it

The difference is none of this kid's peers will have a similar experience

Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he's using?

Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it's not even worth considering.

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

Google is worse than useless to me now.

How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

I'll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

I remember this sentiment being floated around a lot leading up to 2016. If 2020 should have taught us anything, it's that things can get worse in ways we won't expect.

A lot of people knew a global pandemic was on the horizon. That much was expected.

Trump knew. He knew and threw out the established response plan his first year. We did not expect him to be able to do that much harm.

Let's throw out first-past-the-post voting while we're at it.
