I wonder if the same thing happened during the digg migration.

Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.

I know because I'm one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I'll have something to grumble about after a few beers ๐Ÿ˜…

I take a train to the city, and I bike to the station whenever I need to go into the office. The amount of disabled folk I see that could not transport themselves otherwise because a car is requisite would shock you.

The point of their community is improving public transport so it isn't as car centric and a requirement to participate society.

I don't see exactly how that's "commie" to strive for a more democratic society.

Til community didn't exist before Ford's invention.

Hell, I wouldn't want to drive there. Ya know, the purpose it was built for.

Something happened in the 80's, but I can't put my finger on what ๐Ÿค”

Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it's convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there's no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.

I switched to a wire after that.

I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora...

Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That's a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That's before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to "dangerous" behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.

Or -- Christ it's 2023 -- Apple's first fucking USB-C phone. Holy mother of god, having one stupid cable for the devices I want was a siren song of a mad god, but we're finally here.

In 2023
