It's literally less than most cups of coffee to correct that issue forever. Ad supported software is standard practice for the last 20+ years, having the option to cheaply opt out of it completely is actually uncommon and shouldn't be completely glossed over like it doesn't matter.
How much android experience do you have? If I felt like Apple devices had basic options and acceptable UI patterns I'd probably be on the same page. But alas, besides all the shady anti-standards and anti-repair things they do, the UI just literally feels extremely lacking to me. Like how the fuck is a universal back button not a thing? How come I have to struggle to do all the most basic shit? Why in the absolute fuck would you put your url bar at the fucking bottom of the screen??
No apple, fuck your gestures, I want a back and home button. It's bad enough that their shitty influence changed the defaults on android like that, but at least android has the option to revert to buttons. I have to use Apple devices for work and it is painful every single time. I literally cannot get used to some of the bonehead decisions. On android they typically either don't fuck up the UI royally, or they provide an option somewhere I can change to get back to the way I prefer things. Shouldn't be that hard to understand your users aren't always wrong...
iOS is so neutered and unpractical in comparison to android. It's so weird that iOS became so popular to me... It's still stuck 10y ago in like 90% of its os design ideas.
Exactly!!! Most people don't get any of this and will instead claim android and iOS are practically the same thing
I would love to see the looks on the Apple execs' faces when they learn news like this. Those greedy cunts must get a rage boner every time they're forced to act like decent world citizens
This is a good point. Would the version numbers displayed from apt list --installed be what I'm looking for?
As it happens I do keep a git repo that keeps a log of that information. I see that after reinstall,
linux-image-* and linux-headers-* packages have the same actual version numbers but there are some other values in that same listing that have changed a bit. Some look like git commit hashes. I dunno.
I did start with a different, updated Pop!_OS image this time. I've considered wiping again using the older image which I still have. I figured that using the new one would be best and just avoid the need for a few GB of updates but looking at the diff of the installed packages (and looking at differences in how I was able to resolve some random issues, for example previously I had pulse installed for audio stuff, now I do not, it's a different app), it seems like a lot of the OS internals are rather different...
It isn't. I've been on the Internet longer than 14 years. This is actually a test of what kind of content you care about. I didn't find this worthwhile. It's either fake which is insanely weird, or it's real and deeply sad.
On pop_os I had great success with proton until I had to wipe my os and reload. Before, most of my games worked well. Cyberpunk 2077 actually ran faster than on Windows. After the wipe, I literally cannot get a single game to run and I really don't feel like troubleshooting so I keep returning to windows. I hate it. And yes, I have an Nvidia card and have tried several driver versions
Yeah, this is all fair. I've just heard that online dating is bad so many times and so often that it's become expected. I feel like it typically comes from people who either have never used it, or have only dated that way. Both groups have a less informed opinion than someone who went on a few mortifying "traditional" dates, and then started dating online.
I'm not trying to say I'm an expert but I do think people my age are in a unique position. We saw the world before and after the Internet, and since this change occurred in our youth we had enough awareness to process both versions of the world. If we put some laws into place that protected consumers on a basic level, I sure would drastically prefer the post Internet world. As it stands, some days I don't feel like the Internet is such a great thing, but most days I do think it's a better world, on balance.
How I saw this as a different version of the same old stuff is that this comment said essentially "well it used to be good when I used it, but now it's awful and destructive" which it might be in ways but it's absolutely a net positive from what I have seen
As someone who online dated for years, up until 2021, I'm very aware of the down sides.
We cannot have a functional discussion if you are arguing in bad faith, which you obviously did. This would not be recoverable at this point so no need to reply
By your incel logic only proven rapists would ever suffer a single consequence of any type. You'd probably support a law that bans even making the accusation publicly until after a conviction. And this is one of many reasons women should avoid you.
