  • Didn’t know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?

    When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub… well I’m not gonna list every single one but you get me.

    Still, thank you for educating me.

    No, but seriously, this is not toxic marketing, the “users” are emotes, something very clever but that is lost on you and that’s fine; but to call it toxic… I don’t know Rick.

    • I will keep the comment as is, I was informed this is illegal in some regions. Marketing is… marketing & as someone that has worked for agencies I am knowledgeable enough to admit that some tactics are indeed invasive an/or dubious. No offense to anyone was intended.





  • Understanding Linux kernel is medium hard, but not frustrating. Using a DE is NOT frustrating if you understand what’s up with their core ideals. D-Bus, HOOKS, env variables… meh I can give you that. But 95% of users live in the web and/or office apps. And for that literally any flavor of Linux will do. My in laws would never in their lifetimes be able to distinguish Arch + KDE + SDDM + themes from Windows. I can bet my right testicle.
