Why is everybody so obsessed with tweaking and customizing an OS?! My systems are pretty much vanilla and apart from the file browser I hardly use any active OS features.

My printer worked out of the box under Windows no driver or anything needed. Maybe I got lucky.

I doubt that, I would think it's like xenophobia it's usually the strongest in pretty homogenous areas.

You could find stuff, it was often a very tedious process though. You searched for: thing XYZ doesn't work and found a lot of of forums with posts of people who had the same problem and with a bit of luck you found a two years old entry with an answer that actually worked for you. Now it's 20 results from the company that created the product you have a problem with but offers no solution at all.

I think for many people, me included the OS is more or less invisible bc I use so few OS elements. File browser and that's it. Hardly any other gui feature comes to mind that isn't a third party program.

For me it's simply laziness, and the fact that I don't use the OS apart from explorer. I think that's the thing for a lot of people the actively use so few parts of the OS that the question wether the OS is intrusive, bloatware free or efficient isn't part of their concern. They, me included, don't tinker, don't optimize, don't script etc. I just start the programs thati use. I probably will give Linux another go with my next PC build though.

Imo you should play the lottery, to play mind game scenarios of your future in a financially independent situation. And that is something, that can be fun. But never out of desperation.

I don't get why micro transaction are never micro transactions. If a cosmetic item/feature in a game or sth. like discord would be 50ct up to a Euro, I would here and there buy sth. But they always want 5-15€ and that isn't money I'm willing to spend. Take Signal for example 5 € for a badge for 30 days is just stupid. I recently donated 20 euros still 30 days. The thing is I don't care for the badge but I think it could be beneficial to promote the ability to donate via the badge but the system they use, is really stupid.

Weren't they head of the human rights council?

The only movie I ever walked out was Brother Bear. Maybe I was already to old (26ish) but that was too cringy and kitschy for me.

My son got my vita for his birthday and I have to say tearaway is really one of the best games which rally takes all the features of the vita and blends it into a very creative and fun game.

Well the thing is we need to get away from individual transportation if we transform all ice cars to ev we won't really solve the problems we are facing...
