I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under where you think base Firefox wasn’t ever improved

Good news, but it’s not “AI”. Please stop calling it that.

Watched that episode yesterday.

Wait until they learn that the thumbs-up in some countries means what the middle finger does in the US…

If you didn’t say it, I would have. Thank you.

I ended up giving up on it after first spending 2 hours trying to learn to set up ProtonVPN (it turned out the info I was missing was that there is missing an actual download button on their site, had to accidentally find a download for ProtonVPN via a Reddit where someone else complained, then use command line a few times to actually get it working. This after how-to videos and other message boards led me nowhere). Then spending a few more trying to learn things about my NAS I couldn’t figure out, so I could try to connect it to Kubuntu and have it mount automatically. It was overwhelming, I gave up pretty fast. Nobody has time for this. I’m probably done with Linux forever. Kubuntu’s not half bad though, but Linux sure is.

Oh, thank god. Plasma looks good for me. Easy to look at and professional. Assuming I understand how it works, which popular distros can use Plasma? Update: After some quick research, I think I want to use Kubuntu? Does that sound like a good idea?

I do this all the time, but my cat (Pixel) doesn’t leave :3

…How did they fuck it up? It can literally do everything it used to do, just as easily as before. And now more.

I had Pop OS installed for an hour just now and I gave up. Once again, dozens of ridiculous problems, too many to remember. The nail in the coffin was I changed the icon sets between defaults-- from Adwaita to HIcolor-- in Gnome Tweaks, and it just crashed. Cursor moves, nothing else did anything. I didn’t do any command line, I didn’t edit any text, I didn’t do anything weird. Fresh install, had it for an hour. In contrast, I have not crashed Windows in over a decade, ever since I adopted 10 almost immediately. Except when I was undervolting. I don’t have time for this shit, I have things to do, it’s not the client’s job to fix Linux’s crap.

Also it turns out there is zero support for three-finger taps. I literally don’t have middle-click on my laptop. At all. Wonderful.

Linux “just works” as well as Bethesda does, and it hasn’t changed since I was trying out Ubuntu 14. I hate it, I hate the fanbase, I hate the cult, I’m done. Also, holy shit is it hard to find and learn to install full and proper light themes. Why the hell can I use a light theme on any distro and it still make the docks and title bars brown, black, or dark grey? That’s all I was trying to fix, because it hurt to look at.

Done with Linux forever, because this keeps happening. The messy and confusing installation, the lack of basic features, the ridiculous amount of research and learning curve to accomplish anything, the crashing, the ugly and unpolished interfaces, everything. Bye.

Update: Going to try again, but for the sake of my health not take Linux seriously. Nobody should take Linux seriously.

Update #2: I gave up forever again. Proton VPN forgot to provide download links for Linux, I had to find them on a message board. Then it’s a nightmare to auto-mount my NAS drives. I worked on Linux for many hours today and didn’t make much progress. I don’t have time for this.

That’s beside the point.

God I hate when people hijack a topic to push their irrelevant agenda.

(Yes, cars can suck, but they don’t always suck, don’t have to suck, and are super needed sometimes.)

This is sociopathic, probably anger-fueled thinking. You don’t spend enough time around people, you don’t realize how imperfect and different literally everyone is, and you don’t really know what their problems are; so you tend to dehumanize people who make mistakes. What happened was horrible, some people may never forgive them, but they are still humans. Not to mention that you can’t trust humans in the first place to even pick the right people to punish, let alone to punish humanely. Not that punishment was ever a good response.

Or maybe you do realize these things and you’ll come to your senses later.

I don’t know what “Figma” is but it sounds stupid.

A bigger pi-ness.

Wow, 5 friends is more than what I have!

This is hilarious in just the wrong way.

I see. I’ll look into it, thanks.

That’s all fair advice. It doesn’t change that installation instructions should have been a lot more thorough though. Once I get a third (or bigger primary) SSD, I’ll dual-boot Mint. I still want to try it. Regardless of my issues with it, I do know Linux is getting better. And we can see how ready I am for it now (and that’s partially up to the software).
