> Linux, well, is Linux. I get it, you have it setup perfectly, for you. And it is super stable, for you. And it has come a long way in usability, for you. It just isn’t a suitable alternative for your average user. Funny, I feel the sam

Unify everything by fragmenting further?

Yup, and it breaks for certain applications like Chrome or Terminal when they are launched after it. The Alt-Tab just ignores that they exist. Macs fucking suck.

I agree actually. I'm primarily a Linux developer, but am now forced on to an M1 mac for work, and it's hot garbage. They force their own half-assed unsupported ways of doing things and break the standards that work on both Window

Yup, the solution is to not buy apple laptops.

Apps get deleted the moment they stop working. I don't care why - alternatives exist.

It's a big shame too, some of the pasture land is desertifying because of the lack of livestock.

> If you're a keyboard user, like me, then all the Windows keystrokes that worked in GNOME 2 still work in Unity, so it's much less jarring than KDE or something. Actually since you mention it. GNOME 3 and Unity block basic rea

And my point is, doing that is the worst UX thing you can do.

I'm so glad geoblocking the EU is so easy.

Oh no! Now everyone has to self host or Amazon will get all those IPs!

Which is ridiculous because the PII funds the site.

When will they arrest the heads of oil companies for inflicting severe economic damage?

It wasn't just slow and clunky, it changed how to do basic things, split configuration between about three different places, and changed defaults (which they still frequently do, to the point that it is still on-going and my "go-b

Pinterest for image search (as well as being unable to just get to the damn image) And I think Brittanica out ranking Wikipedia was the final straw for normal ad-hoc search.

It's really not. I can't install tensorflow more than 10 times before I'm done. Virtualenvs are not fit for purpose.

A really common library that gets used in every project for common use-cases is big. It's a very good argument.

If I did that I'd have no harddrive space left due to how large python dependencies are.

The real issue is that you can't have multiple versions installed at the same time. if you could import numpy==3.2 it'd solve many problems.
