True, I missed that winget is now preinstalled with newer windows versions. I don't use windows a lot though, especially not for browsing the web.

Edge is pretty good...

...for downloading Firefox.

I wouldn't even use a proprietary browser if they'd pay me for it. Let alone a chromium based one.

Considering what the device on the left is capable of compared to the device on the right, the cable management on the left suddenly looks very elegant and efficient.

Some amount of inflatable tires will always be needed and used. Sure, the vast majority of them are also unnecessary, because most cars are, but humanity will obviously always need some vehicles that transport stuff efficiently without tracks. Bicycle tires also use similar materials.

Reaper is indeed amazing. For electronic music and sound design, I'd say studio one has some advantages though. The absolute champion for that is Bitwig, which also works on linux and seems to be very underrated in general!

Unfortunately most plugins don't work on linux though. Hopefully that will change too. Bitwig is another amazing DAW that does have a linux version. You can even install it via flathub!

Plastic straws are still very harmful for many sea animals and are apart from that entirely unnecessary (unlike tires).

This is the way!

Rust by a big margin.

I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD

Also objective: The so called "war on terror" actually led to way more terror and helped the larges terror organizations to grow and gain power and weapons.

Subjective thoughts about that: They knew and they wanted this to happen. The goal was never to fight terrorism, the goal was having some kind of long-term rival to justify constant war, to give billions of dollars to arms industry, to keep undifferentiated nationalism as high as possible, to distract the masses from their economical exploitation, to have a fake reason to overthrow governments (actual reasons being economic and imperialist of course), to keep undemocratic "exceptional" rules in place, etc. etc.

Wow, a proprietary quasi monopoly changes their business model into something extremely exploitative and hostile. I am totally surprised! Shocked even! Blimey!

Seriously, why spend years of your life learning to work with some technology that can at anytime be made instantly obsolete or impractical to use when some random asshole you don't know decides something dumb. If there's a FOSS alternative, always prefer that.

If it hadn't been proprietary

It is. Case closed.

Edit: Also it would not have been the perfect connector since the supported bandwidth is absolutely pathetic.

Yes! I hope they can force apple (and others) into more interoperability and repairability (the two things apple hates the most), ruining their disgusting business model by re-enabling competition and benefitting users and environment.

Actually it's even worse: Capi Simps believe if they work hard enough, they will become bourgeoise themselves. Pretty pathetic.

Yeah croc gotta taste nasty. Most meat eating animals (like humans) avoid eating other meat eating animals if they can.

Those are called penne rigate! (Yes, I am indeed very fun at parties)

Rust. The language is called Rust. And it should be used for everything!

It's actually not that hard to use async libraries in sync context. I rarely need that but if I do, I just pull in an executor and write a little extension trait for futures that lets me call .block() instead of .await.
