Thanks! A decades old mistery is finally solved 😄

Given the current state on the US arriving with a burner phone, or even a clean one, would at least get you interrogated, and at worst deported to Guantanamo. Better leave something innocuous on the phone that makes it look used.

IKR!?

To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it’s impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.

Too many to count, I almost tore that cover apart but kept it for immersion…

Steel Batallion’s humongous controller. That beast is the most fun I ever had with a simulator.

I found AI tools awesome for removing objects in photos or transcribing a conversation. Other than that it’s useless because it’s not reliable.

A case like that for a Galaxy S is exactly what I want.

I’m not in the USA, but I have friends that lives there and in Canada. I’m worried for them.

Ubuntu is just like Windows now, you have to run a debloater to make it usable.

Is that a red herring?

Maybe, but I had no idea this was tied to a country. I thought it was a novelty tld, like xyz and art. You know, like input/output so io.

Jesus Christ this will be a major pain in the ass if it goes through… I’m really not in the mood of having to reconfigure all my self hosted services to a new domain.

Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.

Adobe Creative Cloud, which despite the name is pretty much local. And although Microsoft Office works online, it has a series of issues that the desktop version doesn’t have, like broken formatting on Word.

The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They’ll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that’s it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we’ll have no viable alternative.

Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it’s only downhill from there.

Edit: about Linux, it’s not viable if you’re outside IT or rely on commercial software. That’s a debate for another post.
