It seems like a big company’s problem. They have a well-paid design\marketing department that can do whatever they want to create the best-selling interface for the new version of Windows, but before it’s released, no one tested it yet for anything but bugs, and who’d argue with a flock of top designers anyway? Add here the board of directors who are here to sell them ideas and who won’t use it either – I’m sure they applauded to the idea of unifying mobile and desktop experience with WinPhone&Win8, but especially Tablet-Laptop transformers they saw as the future. It sounds great on the paper, right? At that time it could’ve even sounded obvious for their business. And so it happened like it did.

Linux counters it by constant feedback and competition between easily switchable DEs, users being prepared even to jump distros; Apple has a fetish for style and experience (that’s a half of their pricetag), they build their business model about looking and feel nice, so you’d build an ecosystem of their products, you can’t even see error windows here and their garden is gated af; and ChromeOS\Android aren’t shy of looking what others do (like iPhone’s design findings) and conservatively taking what works, also having tons of vendor-created restyles\forks on their own platform as a testing ground for new ideas to make them then a standard. MS lack all of it, and their creative process is guided by external interests and ideals, it’s just an afterthought. And as they have their stable market share, they probably won’t even care. It took whole internet’s screams to return their traditional start menu in win8.1, then w10.

That’d probably stay the same until their new CEO would happen to be an art college graduate - like the current one pushed for accessebility and building special controllers because she has a child with a disability. A top-down signal. I won’t bet on it anytime soon.

What ‘bruh’?

It isn’t hard to drop a <br> before one starts explaining a completely different OS.

Mint, with any DE, does come with a graphical package manager. It’s as easy as any appstore. The only confusion is it suggests both it’s original and flatpack versions to install.

I think you are talking about EndevourOS there.

Reading it in a linear fashion, you drop one distro after another without much distinction. I believe it’d be better if you serve EndOS it’s own paragraph since it’s so different.

They can track other species by smell at least. If that path is used by too many and smells like a farm, they would probably get used to hang around it naturally.

Some series have a weird pattern of deletion.

LA Ink | Season 1

LA Ink | Season 6

LA Ink | Season 7

Lolwut. Does it mean 2-5 are still availiable or they never were?

It’s all Discovery Channel’s properties, and it’s a good day to rewatch their classics and seed them.

That’s why they are so fit and resourceful. Imagine carrying every IF statement by hand.

These commercial, proprietary games are one of the things that pushes forward the capabilities of personal computers. They are unreasonable, unoptimized resource-hogs. If a Linux system is as capable of running them as a proprietary OS (that has a deck stacked in it’s favor), it means they lose one another advantage over Linux. And it also means that your hardware now is more productive at less bs tasks, especially consumer-grade nvidia cards, who are better supported now than years ago.

One of these would be over-designed to communicate that he doesn’t care, the other would be an unfunny demotivator about how The Left can’t stand him.

The designer’s one is Kanye because he can’t escape it. The boring meme one is Elon because Elon.

I too took my speeds for granted before I learnt many people I know have a cable connection worse than mobile. It’s 2023, in a big city. How does it make sense?

What I dislike about all these services is all of them have their own app\UI, many of them are awful and take time to figure out. There are plenty of refined software solutions for playing music and videos, they have plugins you can put your DRM overseer in, they exist for decades. Yet every one of them see their mission in reinventing the bycicle once again. I want my experience and my hotkeys to be consistent, to have the same quality whatever I consume. The only way to achieve that is to invest the same money into a big hard drive and then leech and seed.

I upvote for visibility, downvote for being rude. It’s not entirely me agreeing or disagreeing. Sometimes I upvote a person I argue with because I see this argument and their effort valuable to the community and want others ro see it, same with posts.

Don’t worry, just shit more. Once you get your rectals used to it, it’d come off naturally.

That one didn’t feel funny because of a long list of categories, and then a list of coursive paragraphs. It was long and I couldn’t find a place to react on.

You either keep them short, or intentionally drag them this long providing the reason - maybe, a legit-looking derangement. Once it gets boring it stops to be read as a joke or an absurd statement, but as a genuine position of someone not touching a piece of grass in their lifetime.

Be well fellow human.

Just after writing that, I’ve found an example of a wild derangement that just keeps going: lemmy.world/comment/5549733

(0) Pick a cart.

(1) Kick the troubled wheel off if there are at least two, otherwise skip to 4. (2) Then discover one of the others is the worst one now. (3) Go to 1.

(4) Go to 0.

(5) You singlehandedly destroyed the local cart infrastructure and remebered that you didn’t actually need anything.
