“Archiving legally purchased content as an insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”?

Careful, if the Enlightened Centrists discover your post, they might write some spicy comments about how broken the upvote/downvote system is!

Nice strawman, bro. I never said a damn thing about screen readers or translators, good or bad. And yes, I’ve read and filled out the entire survey. It doesn’t become a good survey just because it’s biased towards your personal views.

Nice assumption, dingus. I filled out the survey (it’s a terribly written survey) and sent it in before even writing that comment.

My question is, who asked?

Like most things in life, it’s somewhere in the middle. Some of the criticism is factual and valid. Some, a matter of taste (mostly relating to GNOME). Some arises from negative personal experience. Some is just elitist bluster.

The best thing to do is to be rational and critical. Never dismiss an opinion outright without separating the truth from the bullshit.

Damn, that amounts to corporate disparagement…

I’m supposed to be doing a lot of things, but I live to disappoint.

Nix is setting up a Rube Goldberg machine that brings you freshly made coffee straight to bed every morning: a lot of extra effort for the same cheap instant coffee.

Put that in your /etc/profile and you’ll never have trouble with activating Linux.

I’m both fat and tall. None of my fucking clothes have consistent sizes that fit. I’m not the least bit surprised that the clothing industry’s greatest minds were defeated by breasts.

Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

It wins by default but only because I never liked the Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky-like infinitely scrolling threads and only use Discord to follow some artists.

The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.
