Modern society is all about convenience. Linux can increase marketshare by being more convenient and digestible. Actually, I am in the process of moving to Debian w/ KDE Plasma as my daily driving computer, but it required extensive research on what my options were. Quite simply, there are WAY too many options all touting features that slightly differ from each other than normal end users struggle to interpret.

I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness!

It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!
I tried. Even if the direct play is 1080p, they still transcode and they don't know the difference. They just ask "why is it buffering so much". The luxury about netflix is that it handled all the quality control with zero fiddling. I screech every time I see the little HW symbol.
Thanks for being so transparent with us. Lemmy really does feel like home now to me. I wish the maintainers all the best as they continue to fight the forces of evil.
Reading the article with the letter X in place of Twitter makes me feel like I am reading a pre-generated article with someone forgetting to replace the placeholder with the brand name.
A friend of mind in IT suggested revouninstaller. I have never used it in practice but he says it might be helpful in this case.
