Thank you I was actually so confused lmao I’m like, are they distributing this ET reel in pieces?

I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now

Finally, we’ve invented a machine that saves mankind from the drudgery of getting to know other people!

“I want a way to record the young ladies at the gym without Meta knowing about it”

I’ve also used duck.com’s free email masks with great success

Not quite what OP is talking about but useful in most cases

on one hand we should not be ascribing personally to next-word-predictors but on the other it can be pretty entertaining when we do

…Remind me what this “industry” actually produces?

That’s true, but only juuuuust enough to keep the advertisers paying. There is no incentive for a monopoly like Google to provide better service for their customers (their customers are the advertisers) than the bare minimum, since they have no meaningful competition.

Yeah this is it. I like snaps just fine but I also like Flatpaks and well, everyone else is using Flatpaks.

Actually, the advertisers lose too, this is just a way to get people to search more than once so advertisers dollars don’t go as far.

lol this is a great example of how humans can post slop too thank you for illustrating

I don’t see how slop could kill “the internet”, but it is already redefining if not outright killing the big social media platforms. The fediverse is probably safe because instances that allow slop (or struggle to moderate it) would just get defederated same as any other spam/trolls.

Hah! I definitely didn’t mean any shade at Zorin! I used it for a while too. I ultimately moved to Fedora Kinoite and now Bazzite for the exact reasons you described, the immutability makes it even harder to break than Zorin.

It’s great we have so many good options these days.

On one hand I think that Linux would benefit from KDE being better than windows and GNOME being better than MacOS and that we shouldn’t get distracted by new shiny toys like Cinnamon and Cosmic.

…and yet on the other hand… they are pretty cool…
