If you watch the mass media, that's the impression they love to give, yup. :)

Honestly, this means more than color schemes to core users.

The arch updates literally never breaks my system but that's because I don't use nvidia. Their drivers are the problem and the reason for millions of failed updates in Arch. If you use Intel it's a super smooth ride with no i

Is this supposed to give the public the impression Google is currently not working with the US security services? .

I'm stunned by how so many people here in the tech community are describing this popup as confusing. I guess I'm really smart since I understood immediately (by the colors and buttons and the name) that it's a theme picker. A

I don't mind it. It may be marketing but I agree that colors and themes are very important for an enjoyable experience. I didn't mind playing with colorways for a few minutes.

Why would a recruiter spend time and effort on reading everyone's cv and writing personal letters to every candidate? They won't be able to reach more than 10 people in a day doing that, and probably will get 0% responses anyway.

If this is what they need to do to survive, they already lost. The userbase won't accept ads.

Switching from Google to Microsoft - what a choice! :)

I think Firefox is a much better browser than Chrome. I mean once you tried container tabs with a different session and cookie store for each tab... It's just amazing. Also no Google in my browser is a huge plus.

Younger people learn faster than older people but they also don't have the experience of older guys. So in my experience, younger people makes the same mistakes as we older people did (listen to IT trends, believing it will make things

No. A company that allows everything to be a mess is unprofessional. Not you.

There is nobody more evil on the internet than Google. Facebook comes close.

We would be even safer if every citizen had a chip implanted, and when a crime is committed, everyone within 300 feet gets enough electricity through their bodies to be knocked out. Or if there was robots patrolling the streets, making sure

Completely agree with you but that opinion is based on understanding that covid was created in a lab, and the vaccines are a power and money grab or worse.

I love python but I think the language will slowly die if they don't do something about the GIL. So these syntax improvements are nice but not exciting.

Really nice work! My girlfriend said she would like to change colors as well, so adding a few themes could be a feature request. But really cool idea :)

I don't even care about those benchmarks. It's more about the user experience and in Windows, it's horrible and user hostile. Even if it wasn't slower, it's literally worse in every way compared to a modern Linux di

No we are not going back to the office so you can stop paying for there "news".

Hesitant? I think it's obvious by now that it's about money, power and control and not about safety.

Yes it's an advantage if other team members feel inspired by seeing you on camera. But if you don't like it, you have to decide if it's worth the discomfort to get that advantage. The way it works is... You make a decision li

Not at all. The American tech mafia is mapping all user data they can get a hold of. This is very far from a conspiracy theory in 2021.

It's been completely obvious what Google wants to do for over a decade... Most people are just not paying attention to what they are.

Yeah if you disable WiFi which is a very dark pattern and user hostile.

Well he is right. Linux is not for everyone. It's for people who can learn how to double click an icon that looks different from the one in Windows. That excludes probably 50% of Windows users right there.

You also need to give up all your privacy and relax while Microsoft takes care of you....
