Wish this woman could be our president.

it took an infernally long time to open the store, search for an app, and then install that app.
After about a year of Linux and using package managers/AUR to install and update software, it blows my mind to think that I would ever choose to do it a different way.
I don't know how I put up with that shit for so many years.
Goddamn can this man be any more GOATed?
I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I've found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can't get rid of without rooting.
American isn't turning anywhere if people don't vote down ballot too. Regardless of what the Supreme Court said, the President is not royalty.
Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It's not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).
Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I'm sure people have valid reasons if they're using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things "Linux."
Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren't aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.
Even Valve's own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they're being extra conservative with those. I've gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as "unsupported," but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.
ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn't heard of it.
But yeah, it's almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

If I offended anyone, I apologize. But man... People like you make this shit look bad (I know this is old, I just saw it).
I respect people's choices with respect to gender expression. What I don't respect is people who use that shit as a cudgel to censor opinions they don't like that are entirely unrelated to that subject.
That person had NO pronouns listed next to their name. I frankly don't clock people's usernames before commenting so had no idea what their username even was. That said, one could argue that the name Emily implies nothing about a person's preferred pronouns. Unless you know them personally, or they complained personally about this, then YOU are the one assuming gender and pronouns. Fuck dude, why am I even assuming that the person's username is their real name? Oh no, I just said "dude" are you going to ban me?
Two people who have never seen/heard/spoken to one another discussing something on the internet, and one is supposed to, what, intuit the other's preferred pronouns? What if Emily did not identify as a woman, and you just corrected me? It's almost as if "cool man" isn't gender specific anymore, and you know that.
