> I'm not sure what happened in recent years, but they definitely switched their strategy

Yes, they stopped "not being evil"


> Someone tell them about ME

and they would look at you like you're talking about Flying Spaghetti Monster in space


True. And people don't have memory. Almost all the goals for 2026 were never done. That went on television where they replay the last year "we will do" and surprise, don't.

But if any of those in Europe saw that Flying Spaghetti Monster, they would create rules for it in a blink of an eye.

Rules for the flying speed, how the monster looks, what and if the monster can talk, taxes for the monster, because why not, and so on...


> GNOME the easiest DE to customize at this point.

It's not even false, you do know that KDE exists


KDE cannot be modified by extensions in the same way GNOME can. This is a fact. The problem is the extension needed to be written. They are trivial to vibe now. You can make them do whatever you want.

I was pretty sure that was false. I did a quick check and found

Yes, you can do some light scripting or create your own plugins for specific apps (krunner). This is not near what you get with gnome extensions, which allow you to essentially execute arbitrary code in the shell’s main process.

The shell got a lot of hate for being written in gjs, but you won’t get that kind of functionality from a shell written in a compiled language.


When your OS snitches on you, you should uninstall it


> LinkedIn mandatory

Verified account with Persona?


By that definition every war is a proxy war


I tried to report Linkedin for their practices and it was like spitting at the sky trying to hit God


> And that is insecure Wordpress: people lego-mounting sites without touching code, only with plugins.

Works as intended, that's why WP has been so popular


Pros: it has a low entry barrier

Cons: it has a low entry barrier


It's not a bicycle for your mind, it's a railbike draisine that only goes on the rails that Apple allows you to use.


I know that you're joking and that I'm late to reply but honestly thinking about the care and planning that has to go into laying railroad tracks and the efficiency of adhesion traction, I would kill for computer that came close to what I imagine using a railbike feels like (a long time dream of mine). Imagine if someone put that much thought into Finder (or Apple Music).

I'm only allowed either Windows or Mac at work so I'll just get less and less efficient until I'm replaced by an LLM.


Goobledygook laptops would be as much of an abomination as those Windows S laptops
