Indeed, clearly an inferior OS.

Opensuse tumbleweeds, superior to Jimmy, has come as a best of both worlds.
Hmmm… okay it sounds like the subscription model does actually make some sense for devices that need to maintain an internet connection/IoT applications. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me.
I agree that IOT things need to be secure. Is it really too much to ask that apps/devices are made secure from the ground up?
To stay on the thermomix, all the subcription is is a connection to their servers to give access to their live step by step recipes. Surely that’s just a secure end-to-end encrypted connection? I’m not a developer but it doesn’t sound like buyers should be expected to pay the manufacturer to maintain beyond buying a thermomix/upgrading to new versions of the hardware when they want to access any new features.
I completely agree with you in principle for people who want their software updated, but there is some software that is standalone and doesn’t depend upon changing codecs/APIs etc. Something like myfitnesspal or a thermomix shouldn’t be a subscription, there is no major updates to how someone tracks their exercise uses a hot blender that justifies it beyond users being locked in.
In the example of thermomix, you’ve already paid top dollar for the hardware, getting locked out of functionality you’ve paid for stings.
Barefoot Investor was really good for my wife and I when we joined finances. Particularly having our own “splurge” accounts means we don’t need to ask each other before buying our own personal or frivolous things.
Great answer, thanks!
What is the big difference between Cosmic and Gnome? I know System76 are developing it so I would imagine they have a problem with Gnome and their hardware business.
I used popOS! for a year and did get annoyed that Gnome required extensions that were not necessarily maintained in order to allow for what I considered to be basic customisation.
On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE now, but interested to see what the philosophical difference is between Gnome and Cosmic.
Which ones would they paywall? The ones which would be the hardest sell for them would be the big meme subreddits, given how many other sites can be searched for memes.
I could potentially see them having some success paywalling all of the sub’s where technical questions are asked looking for solutions to particular problems (think r/DIY). But then again you wouldn’t pay just to have 1 question answered, and would generally just try a different forum if it could be answered elsewhere.
Agreed. Clearly it must do simply what is said on the tin, otherwise why ban it?
Lots of YT creators edit their face to look strange or unsettling. I’m the same as you, though I think it’s more the gimmicky nature of his content I’m a bit put off by.
I think you could happily live your life not knowing who he is. I will say that he’s a master at knowing what will make someone click on his videos.
We all know black-pilled Linux from scratch is the best. Gentoo is just a bit too bloated.
Realize that one of the main determinants of your lifelong happiness will be your choice of partner.
Don’t get too serious with someone that isn’t going to elevate you, but also make sure that you’re elevating your chosen partner.
Realize that the cutting edge electronics that you buy today won’t be worth jack shit in three years time.
I like the memes, but I don’t know a lot about the person.
That’s a bummer, I still watch him from time to time but accept it as factual. Didn’t think I needed to fact check him.
Distrotube hits hard. I remember the video showing everyone his collection of increasingly larger guns was the checkout moment for me. Even saying one of them was great for kids. As a non American maybe I just don’t get it.
Gross. I heard he lost a hell of a lot of money on crypto and hookers, so that checks out.
Beautiful architecture and streets. A lot of homelessness and rats everywhere though. Bakery food/breads were fantastic. We found people to be a lot more welcoming in rural France than in Paris.
Didn’t go during Olympics, this was pre-COVID.
