To be fair, a lot of bluetooth headphone problems i had on my work laptop was just microsoft teams.

Aspirational brands

Thats probably where the LLMs picked up the idea. All the online jokes about nuking everyone

What is the solution? Am i stupid?

Debian

But i installed pw a long time ago, so back then, they worked side by side… i guess none of the major upgrades auto removed it, so i just left it. I just assumed that if it has become a full replacement, the debian package manager would just drop it at some point

When will PW become a total replacement for pulse?

it bothers my OCD that i still have both installed and PW seems to be dependent on pulse

Edit: i’m on debian, and even though pw has replaced pulse, there are still a bunch of pulseaudio packages and programs floating around on my system

Can confirm ctrl-shift-c opens dev console

I keep mixing up the shortcuts because ctrl-shift-c is copy in the KDE terminal

The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i’m smarter than everyone, it’s because i KNOW i’m susceptible to these things.

What you’re describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure

Being influenced by ads is not some moral failing.

I really doubt people who think they have some special willpower to resist advertising. Advertising isnt simply “go buy this particular thing”. Brand recognition alone is very powerful.

The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising, i highly doubt it. The lack of self awareness makes me think they are MORE susceptible to ads than the average person.

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

Make compact phones again…

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

Debian unstable is not a distro…

You cant complain about software breakage in a software that is still under development

Consider it as an early access game on steam.

i’m really sad…

i’ve had the same nova config for 10 years, almost untouched…

none of the FOSS launchers are even close in functionality and customization… i tried them all…

I only learned about it 3 weeks ago… trying to keep it alive

I’M DOING MY PART

imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead…

where do you think the money went? I imagine a lot of it went to workers salaries…

[sweating profusely] Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

You can only abuse your customers so much

you’d think so… but the number of friends and family who still put up with this shit is incredible. Ads in the start menu, copilot popping up every time you press a wrong button on the keyboard, the entire task bar changing overnight with ads and stock tickers…

That last one pisses me off so much… “i dont want to learn linux!”… MF’er, microsoft just rearranged your entire task bar and start menu overnignt and you didnt seem to have a problem adapting your workflow… why would switching to gnome or KDE be any different?

Not a dentist, but isnt the root cause of a lot of our dental problems, the loss of gums and the inability of our stupid gums to heal and grow back?

No, the endgame is for all the compute power to be in the cloud, and you rent time on their servers.

Everyone will just be running thin clients at home, with subscriptions if they need to do anything more than send an email
