Just install Linux, get it over with, more away from the clutches of Microsoft, use a system that is free and easy to work with.

Yeah, Linux is not perfect, nothing is. Might Linux require you in some cases to do some extra work? Maybe. Windows does not? Did you read this post? Did you read the countless other posts where Microsoft makes your life harder on purpose, triest to spy juuuust a little harder on you? Where Microsoft tries to fuck you over, yet again? Where Microsoft for the Nth time purposefully and willfully ignored security threats to save money or face, allowing even the US government to be hacked cuz better for Microsoft?

Seriously, it's like watching a woman with a best up face defending her husband, he isn't that bad, or if I leave I will be without this thing I need, omg, what will I do?

Just. Leave. Switch to linux, and be done with this shit

Are you listening to yourself? Why are you even using this shite? You pay for being screwed over, bit don't worry everyone, we can unsabotage the crap we paid for!

Switch to Linux already, come to the dark side, we have cookies.

Ona more serious note: there are literally less reasons every day to stick to windows. Games? Most , ir not damn near all work fine or better on linux. Photoshop? Run it in a VM if you must, away from the rat of your work, but at least stop paying Microsoft money FFS. Yes, actively pirate windows if you must.

I'm so fucking tired of people writing how they spend so much time to restore their paid product to a barely functional level, then complain about Linux being too complicated.

My literal last experience installing both lonic and windows was 25 minutes for Linux (that includes downloading the iso and burning it on a USB) and 7 grueling hours spread out over 4 days with countless failed attempts to install windows, BIOS metssing, trying different ISO burner programs, with the final attempt taking well over an hour to complete, passing countless "BUY MORE, ALLOW US TO SPY, GIVE US MORE MONEY, YOU WILL USE THIS SERVICE!" screens. Then Linux just worked and windows still was fucking me over.

Why do people put up with this? Just use Linux, get it over with. So much less pain.

Small correction here:

These services have nothing to do with 3g, 5g or wifi. All those are just communication protocols that phones use to connect to the internet, and neither your phone, nor their apps nor their servers will care a dime about those. Of 6g comes out or 5g disappears, nothing changes.

As long as the provider keeps their servers for your services up, the service is there. And that's where the problem lies. It's not the cost. A single 100 dollar / month server could easily cover all remote starts world wide, it really doesn't require that much.

Decisions to take down these services and screw over paying customers are typically made my middle and upper management, to force people to buy their new crap

Yeah, it's still crap. I'm not trying to defend these products requiring paid services, it's shite and I would only use open sourced services, I'm just saying that the technology is a little different than you said

I'm against the death penalty and I hate these posts that compare to Hitler but hear me out.

Though the US and world death toll in covid wasn't entirely Trump's fault, he was a major, if not the largest, contributer to it being that high through his actions and inactions. He lied about it, dismissed it, made it appear to be no-risk, egged his followers on to ridicule, hate, and threaten those that tried to protect themselves and their families.

Millions died. How many of those were needless deaths? How many were thanks directly or indirectly through the actions of orange dipshit clown? I think his death count is (obviously) lower than Hitler's, but I think it's in a similar range. I think he thinks about the deaths he caused in. A similar way that Hitler did, those that died were nothing, worthless.

If I murder more than two persons in the US, there is a good chance I get the death penalty. Trump willingly caused the deaths of millions just.tonfuether his political career. Why isn't he on death row?

I guess the quote "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" is real indeed.

Yep, fuck you Jones and hope you make a lot of money's for the sandy hook parents

Good

Now do the same with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Comcast, Disney, all the current major Hollywood film studios, all the major internet providers, major airlines, and we're going in the right direction of a start.

Slight tangent here but...

Is it me or what the hell is going on with kids these days? They all say "don't liky!!" and the parents go "okaaaay, here is some candy, then!"

When I was a kid you got food and you ate it. I mostly liked it but of there was a meal that wasn't my favorite, then sucks to be me, gotta eat it. I never once told my mom they I didn't like the food, as I knew she worked hard to prepare it, and I had some basic respect and decency and understanding that she was doing what was best for me.

It was the same for other kids as far as I could tell.

Now, all around me I see these families and ALL have the same with the kids. I'm not trying to say we need to go back to the "good ol'" 1950's but for fracks sake, can we instill just a little bit of obedience and discipline in kids? Sometimes when a kid asks why it's okay to say "because I said so" and a small slap in the butt when a kid goes all off the rails neither hurt anyone. It certainly didn't hurt me when I tested for boundaries and was shown where those boundaries were. No, I'm not advocating violence in children, I'm advocating to put more limits to kids, I feel there is an imbalance.

So what about open source self hosted search engines? If it requires some hardware I'd gladly team up with a small group of people to finance a bigass server that just gets us our personal search engine

Any good ones out there?

Bullshit

This has likely more to domwith Germany still being "mea culpa" about the Nazis, desperately trying to show that they are not against Jews

Maybe.

Either way, calling this a Nazi action is just low

Nah, nothing wrong with being a cock holster, just don't be one for Putin

So in other words, switch to Linux, never look back, bever again use anu Microsoft software or product. Done.

The Dutch king did, right afterl seeing what the French did to theirs
