Yea I couldn’t spell it and autocorrect wasn’t about to help me.

You’re going to break things. Then you’ll fix things. Then your break them again. Then you’ll realize there was an easier way to fix that last issue. It’s a fun learning experience.

And the situation with the uigurs?

Yes that’s…exactly my point.

They need to be able to buy accessory products that do more harm than good. It’s can’t be a proper alternative to windows without CCleaner support!

There are already computers that come with Linux right out of the box. It’s needs more than that.

You need to be able to walk into a big box store, get a Linux computer right off the shelf, and take it home. That’s what’s needed here.

Once you get people to userstabdnits a different kind of computer they would take to it fine. iPad and chromebooks sell just fine and they don’t run windows or macOS. I refuse to believe Microsoft and Apple are the only ones who can sell a computer.

What’s super ironic is the “Android is more versatile than iOS” crowd is suspiciously quiet now.

We told you, Google doesn’t give a shit about you. That was a strategy for rapid growth. Once they got everything they wanted out of you they were going to lock it down just like Apple did.

Fixed prices for fines. These should be based on a fixed percentage, not fixed dollar amount, of a persons overall wealth. None of this bullshit that can bankrupt a poor person but be the price of admission for the rich.

We are rapidly approaching the end of the poem. You know the one.

Suggestion: get the most visually different Linux distros you can. Set up demo machines with each different desktop environment. Leave them out and available for people to try each and see what they like. If you aren’t netbooting the installs, leave a bowl of cheap flash drives with the distros they are trying by the demo machines. Let people play with each one and describe what they want. Then when install time comes, go nuts.

You using this thing helps boost metrics and alert search engines and shit. That boosts their visibility. Just using the thing helps the project.

Frankly, if libreoffice made a cleaner looking UI that wasn’t stuck in the 90s more people would take it seriously. It’s functional, but curb appeal helps to attract people, to convince them to give it a chance.

It’s fun to assume this is Microsoft being petty but the most likely scenario is Microsoft has cut their operating costs to such extremes they no longer have usable services or products.

This always happens when business majors are allowed to make decisions.

There are more concerns in the world than just “is it open source?”

That is certainly true. But my point still stands. Never give one party all the power.

USB mass storage mode. Some Android phones can’t do it anymore. I always thought the ability to select a disk image your phone would offer up to a of to boot off of was the coolest feature one of the things that made this iPhone user envious but it’s becoming less common for such a feature to still work in Android.

It absolutely is. Even if it’s going from one super villain to another, even if that’s still not a great outcome, it’s better than letting ONE corporation have all the power.

Your data is valuable. Let them fight over it.

Printer? What?

Google has too much power and control. Even if I don’t have power and control of all my data, someone else having that power instead of Google is still preferable to leaving it all in their hands.

Break it up into many small pieces that do not like eachother.

He’s a cute little fella…
