Yeah, but then the staff get sick and they can find some reason to cut their hours or fire them. Then replace them with new hires that are paid less and get less in benefits and compensation.
Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.
If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.
It's still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they'll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.
One of the routes I take tries to get me to make an illegal crossing through a busy street to get to a bus shelter on the other side.
A short walk down the sidewalk, there's lights with a crosswalk. And just on the other side there? A much safer to access bus shelter that the same bus stops at.
There's seemingly no way to report this stupid route, either.
I don't mind it, but I don't really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don't even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead... No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.
I'd probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.
Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by
describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the
death of free speech and even contemplating
leaving Canada for good. Some rejected the
authority of the court altogether while others
questioned if the judge herself had "something
to hide."
Funny how they think free speech is dead. I'm sure the there's a pretty decent overlap between these idiots and the people standing in front of Town Halls and region headquarters whining about vaccines, kickdowns, and Trudeau with 0 repercussions.
These dumb fucks need to stop crying about "free speech" and start crying about what it is they really want - the ability to be degenerates and knuckle draggers without any repercussions.
I openly invite all these morons to leave Canada for good. We don't want them. Nobody wants them. Go! Move to Antarctica where maybe the penguins will put up with your dipshittery. Maybe we can set up a GoFundMe to help them afford the travel cost out of here.
My reasonse is always along the lines of "Yeah and? It's a pocket-sized PC with PC-like specs being sold at PC-like prices. I'd like my workhorse to be functional. I can monitor my device as best I can, and vet the things I install."
It really sucks how fucking stupid people have gotten. The complacency and supporting of companies stripping away access to things you're selling out big money on? It's like ownership pricing for a rental experience.
Then when nobody can repair the stuff but the OEM's they'll be shocked at the cost and blame the people who used to repair the items for not doing enough to push back or something stupid.
My earbuds were replaced before the end of my phone's life. Also, my kids who just got phones for the first time now need to also shell out money for a wall wart and ear buds? Considering there seems to be $0.00 savings passed on to us from all the shit they've cut out, it's a bit ridiculous.
What I dislike is the constant stripping of features lately - between OEMs stripping stuff like SD card support, and box contents like ear buds and wallwarts; and Google stripping core features like the ability to cat system logs... It's getting fucking dumb.
That's the thing that drives me fucking nuts. Use 10 seconds of a song in your 10 minute video, and they get all the money for your work. They should get whatever the percent of your video is that their song occupies at best. If you're talking/acting over top of their music, then you're splitting that percentage in half.
The site completely shit itself when they introduced the ability to post to your own profile and add avatars. That was the beginning of the end.
Shortly after that they went with that fucking awful redesign that uses way too much padding and distractions. That was around the time they added the useless chat feature.
They basically shifted from a content aggregator to a social media wasteland.
I sometimes get "Bing Search" where the usual search should be. Drives me nuts - this is the kind of shit Google should be fixing. But instead they're cutting off actually useful shit like logcat
