I’m ok with almost everything there except Debian. And I’m not even running Debian these days.
There’s nothing super or complicated about it that would make it Chad. It just works out of the box with non-free software.
If this was an S-Tier, I’d agree, but Chat tier connotates there’s some reason normal users would not run it.
Their biggest failure is the failure to market.
My semi-long-term goal is pocket Linux and just a cellular AP. There’s just nothing Linux-wise that’s not ancient and expensive AF.
If that happened to me i’d 1 star their asses so fast.
I didn’t see bezos or mush in that list.
In a baby steps scenario, I’d count that as a marginal win.
It’s marketing, my friend.
Just inconvenience yourself for this month for the greater good.
Ohh month’s already up… he that wasn’t that bad was it, maybe keep going?
I used to buy the screenable CD’s and had an epson that could print labels, and I had the largest netflix delivery sub.
I trashed all that media recently. All those books fit on a large thumb drive these days.
They changed tactics.
Pirating is work. You need a little technical expertise for debrid, or to set up a media server, or even to keep a bunch of USB storage organized. And while it’s not that hard, when they couple taking care of all that for you AND running your likes through an algo and introducing you to new content regularly, your average person sees enough benefit, if the price is right.
So they introduce a service, get the price down to 10-15 a month. Get you in, get your preferences, sell them to the highest bidder and slowly crank back content to make more profit.
For the music it’s worse, they’re fucking over the artists AND selling your data.
When the cost in price or morality gets too high, they’ll all pirate.
Some never stopped.
We’re the closest we’ve been since the cloud started, but sadly, people are still addicted to the almighty algorithm.
And specifically an Android or IOS phone, and bit by bit, a sanctioned, non-rooted OS.
When do i get the jack in the back of my head, I want to get inserted like now…
ohh not The Matrix… damn
The other upside is that Google Docs aren’t entirely compatible either. So people are already used to imperfect versions and needing to pass around PDF’s if output matters.
The biggest problem I see is Microsoft can only cleanly collaborate with Micrososft and Google with Google. The second you open that docx in Google, all bets are off.
The real downer is the libre’s lack of supported online collab, that’s pretty much a requirement for business these days.
Can’t say it’s never happened. It was a lot worse in my 20’s. Social anxiety was bad.
Responding to a text you don’t feel like responding to is just a chore that needs to be done. You respond, set a mental limit on back-and-forth banter, then hard stop it with an excuse when you’re done. If you get into it and it’s not taxing, go with it, if it’s killing you, throw out i’ll have to talk to you later and then be the bad friend :)
All we have to do is not eat bats.
Come to think of it, there’s probably a long list of things we eat that we should cut back on or stop all together.

Yup. Who’s in charge of determining if he gets bailed out? How much money does each of them need to say yes?
Oh, they won’t take money? What influence does he need to buy?
For the amount of money he’s set to get, there’s noone that’ll turn down a nice gift of some sort.

love it
“Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift” For Now.
Give them 6-8 months, they’ll shove it back in quietly in a way you can’t see it happening as easily.
Probably OpenBSD, and honestly I think it’s closer to chad than schizo. It’s work, it’s complicated for the sake of being free, that’s not really an insane take.
