I really miss USB Mass Storage mode. Back then you could plug in your phone into your computer and it would just expose the internal storage and SD card as standard usb storage devices. Nowadays you have shitty MTP which works barely if ever, so you're forced to use either internet or ADB for syncing files. Old way was better.

IIRC you can still enable it if you compile your own kernel but I wish more ROMs shipped with this feature by default.

S0 Standby and its consequences have been a disaster for the computing race

Did you even read my comment? This has nothing to do with personal preference. It's a matter of defending a shared commons from a hostile force. Sure, an individual gnome user can coexist with an individual kde user, like seriously who cares its just a DE. But as a community, users of other DEs, WMs and compositors can only "coexist" with the gnome project in the same way that a population of humans can "coexist" with the COVID-19 virus

It's never about the DE's themselves, it's about the devs.

KDE's devs are just focused on making a cool desktop environment with many features. It's a little buggy and has some weird design decisions, but whatever, no biggie.

GNOME devs deliberately sabbotage existing linux standards in attemps to take control over desktop linux. Examples: client-side decorations, client-side shadows, systray fiasco.

This is not a question of personal preference. It's a question of keeping desktop linux free, fair, and accessible for everyone.

Huh? How did you go from "people should have equal opportunities" to lynching and firing pregnant women? At this point you're just saying whatever you want.

Plus, lmao at the hypocrisy of calling DEI a "boogeyman" while simultaneously accusing anyone disagreeing with you a racistsexistlyncher. It's totally real, you're proving it yourself.

hmm interesting. Will take a look.

The reason they don't want you to unlock your bootloader is because of security....

...security of their revenue stream, that is.

I guess if he's getting paid to do the interviews then it's technically passive... wait no, then the whole interviewer thing would just count as advertising for his vending machine business

If you really want to piss people off, try adding "...and animals" to the list of things you care about.

Hey, a UBI supporter! Just curious, how can UBI be implemented in a way that doesn't result in hyperinflation? If a society was to ration out food/shelter/necessities directly, I understand how that would work. But if it's done through the intermediary of money, what would prevent the economy from entering an arms race where the producers raise prices to adapt to the new purchasing power of the population, and the government raises the UBI to keep up with the rising prices?

Assistance implies that it is temporary,

Not it does not. Ever heard of "aim assist"? "Assisted living"? "assistive touch" (the iOS feature)? I don't see how any of these are temporary.

But yeah the correct solution is indeed to change the system. There will always be naysayers who argue that "no one system can suit everybody" so I guess we'll need a system of systems.

Batshit analogies like these that simultaneously make sense and don't is what I'm here for. Amazing.
