Why would you need expandable storage? Everything should be backed up via the cloud. Either a paid cloud, or your own (or both).

People walking around with a ton of data on their phone is crazy. It can be dropped, broken, stolen, etc at any time.

If my phone broke or was stolen I'd lose nothing. Everything is backed up immediately to my unraid server.

That's interesting. My speed with Rogers ignite have been extremely stable.

I just hate the fact they increase my bill randomly and I have to call to get it lowered. Should be illegal, especially since I'm paying a criminal amount already.

I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven't even reached 13.

How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.

Or pay the dude a couple dollars to disable any tracking and remove ads for life?

Why are you FOSS nerds so against paying people for their work?

Don't be cheap and pay a few bucks. Disables all the tracking.

I have 120 and do not have it. Weird that it's only enabled on an older version.

LibreOffice is great for random at home spreadsheets, but no fortune 500 company is using it. Fortune 500 companies require perfect compatibility with all of the other people they work with and for, you know, the reason they achieved the fortune 500 status.

Not to mention when you're a large company, you're using Microsoft Volume Licensing, which dramatically reduces the cost.

I just can't believe the fortune 500 company you work for is using libre office.

Damn, really? I don't use iOS, so I haven't kept tabs on the app. That's a shame.

Reddit is going to win because of the damn FOSS freaks. Pushing away people one by one.

They’re content to use half-baked software with 70% of the features, and feel like everyone should do the same.

The thing I don't understand is how they expect everyone to switch to Linux. I've explained to them in multiple comments, which are always heavily downvoted, how I cannot switch to Linux because the industry I work in requires software and hardware that only run on Windows.

They never have any reply to it. They just downvote and move on.

I was also always was under the impression that companies don't port their software to Linux because of the user-base being smaller, but Lemmy has showed me that it's more so entitlement. Why would these companies spend time and money porting to Linux when the Linux community is so negative? They only want FOSS. They want the best of the best, but they don't want to pay anyone for it. They believe that developers should work for free, because they refuse to use any ad-backed software, but also refuse to open their wallet.

It's also such a shame, because I run Linux on a secondary machine, distro hop often, and keep tabs on Linux news frequently. I've always hoped for Linux to take off, but the current Lemmy community has genuinely put such a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to Linux and FOSS. It's like when a person you liked comes out as a racist pedophile, and now you can't enjoy any of the movies they are in anymore lmao. As stupid as it sounds, my interest in Linux has decreased in the past few months. I almost don't even want to be associated with it anymore.

Ok. That's awesome. I am really happy for you that you're able to use Linux, and that you have different values.

Doesn't mean that it's acceptable to bully others into following you. If they want to use Windows, I mean shit, if they want to use an outdated, dangerous version of Windows XP, let them?

Downvoting others for being excited about a Windows feature, or refusing to answer a question and instead interjecting with your unsolicited opinion isn't helpful. You're not contributing to the conversation, and you're making Lemmy a miserable place.
