And that's Linus' doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.

For example today I wanted to add a “start menu” shortcut to a program I had downloaded.

I get what you're saying, but this is like "I tried to use Linux like it was Windows, and it was hard." It's a different OS. Go on, move the taskbar of Windows 11 to the left or right edges of the screen. I can do that on Linux, why can't I do that on Windows? It's not even hard, it's just plain impossible. If you try to do things manually in Linux, it's not going to be intuitive. It will feel like editing the Registry in Windows. Unintuitive and like arcane magic.

I'll change my car from a Ford to Firestone.

Once Forgejo gets it working it'll really take off.

Most Mozilla products don't cover their own costs. But if there ever was a loss leader to get people to use Firefox, that was it. Lockwise could be this way too. Their lead in PWAs with Prism was fantastic, they squandered it.

And how tf did Mozilla fail to profit from their VPN when they could market it right in their browser?

I used it even before the Mozilla acquisition, when you had to paste the web page into Fake Spot. It was pretty good.

Use a password manager and you'll only have to set it once. And prevents you from getting screwed by lost devices.

That is a classic, one of which I sadly expedienced personally.

Truly drawn by someone that has never experienced a migraine.
