You’re right, they should just unquestioningly report on every latest shiny thing without talking about the negatives. That’s journalism, right?

Many of us were "there" in the sense that we were interested in FOSS desktops at the time. What does "there" mean in your case, and would you like to share a bit more?

I can't stand Musk but this author lays the disdain on a little too thick IMO. Simply reporting the moronic stuff he does is good enough, there really isn't any need to be quite this snarky about it.

Monzo gives me 4.6% instant-access and I manage it from the same app I manage my current account in. My savings are fairly modest so it really doesn't seem worth the bother to shop around for an extra ~0.4%.

The way the water/gas etc come in through a custom-designed assembly is so cool. Blew my mind.

My comment was aimed both at the author and the "dark mode lobby" they are complaining about. Seriously, it's your computer, just use whatever setup you prefer. If someone comments, make fun of them for caring about what you
