May he rest in peace. His characters were quite charming and funny.

This infuriates me. I launch the app to play music and am forced to interact with a pop-up promoting some random new release that is nowhere near the same universe as my music taste.
They recently did the annual “Wrapped” release. It took over the iOS Home Screen widget I use for playing/pausing recent playlists. The widget was unusable until you (1) watched the wrapped video in full on that device (didn’t matter that I had watched it on other devices before) and (2) you had to listen to the playlist they generated of your most played songs.
Still can't believe how bad the Spotify app is.
It keeps losing my downloaded podcasts. Takes forever to switch from online to offline mode. How hard could possibly be, just send a few packets if you get no answer you're offline.
It's really not that complicated yet they somehow managed to mess it up.
Historically white supremacism has led to a LOT of deaths - not only the Nazi atrocities, but also all the lynchings performed by the KKK, the Tulsa race massacre etc. I don't agree with any kind of nationalism, but I also don't think that those other types of supremacism are anywhere near as dangerous.
The Rwandan genocide, Holodomor, invasion of Nanjing, Mao's massacres, Gaza right now none of which are remotely related to W.Superacists yet just as brutal if not more. Humans have been fighting and killing each other forever it's in our nature. We can't be biased if we want to rise above our own nature.
We can't convice any WS if we single out the attrocities of "their group" while ignoring others. That's why they don't even care anymore. They see the hypocrisy. They're told they can't have an ethnostate while being forced to pay for and protect another group's ethnostate which is engaged in genocide as we speak.

This.. but whenever this is mentioned people will start the other point. Google is not for privacy.
I have become a silent spectator.
Neither is windows. Google at least works and is easily protable.
My dad's always searching for some usb drive he lost with hours of work on it. He'd be much better off using google.
I replaced Windows with Fedora (KDE) on my moms computer, and she's never even commented on it. The browser icon looks the same, and it's in roughly the same place.
Lol! Brilliant!

How on earth was this allowed?
Neither the republican nor democrat base wanted this. There wasn't even an attempt at justification, the drugs argument was a complete and utter joke. They could at least do a little false flag attack.
If voting does it solve it what does?
Microsoft is making Windows into the Nigerian Prince of operating systems. Classically, Nigerian Prince scams are so obvious that they weed out all the people smart enough to avoid being swindled, leaving the easy pickings to be plucked without much effort.
Windows is the same. By Microsoft removing all bypass measures that make it tolerable, their remaining user base will just end up being people who don't care about security and privacy, people who won't complain about being inundated with ads, AI, and bingware, people who have no idea that a modern operating system should be fast, customizable, and open. That 90% customer base is easy to fleece with 10% effort, so why bother with the 10% base that will require 90% effort?
The thing is linux desktop is pretty damn good for a lot of people for their day to day needs. It's just the office tools and gaming. Cloud tools like google docs can handle the office side and valve can sovle gaming. But there still remains the issue of convincing people.
My mom works as a translator and all she needs is email, something to edit documents in and a browser, thats it. She was able adapt to ubuntu pretty fast even though she's not the kind of person who likes learning new tech.
There must be millions of users just like her. But people are very resistant to change and few have an annoying linux evangelist like myself in the house to push them.
We need to get them young somehow. I'm thinking around highschool.
I said "F-this" 20 years ago, moved to the middle of nowhere, paid cash for my property and live on next to nothing. Best decision ever.
Biggest dream of mine but almost impossible if you're married. Women hate it out it in the middle of nowhere.
