As an X user I support this message.

This comic was posted in 2011 but still holds up today perfectly lol.

Still gathering up my courage to make the switch. The better security / isolation between apps is a huge feature for me. But porting all of my shitty xorg-specific scripts and hacks will be a pain.

I refuse to measure garlic by any unit smaller than a whole head. Recipe says three cloves? Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.

At first I thought that it was a for-fun pet project, which is fair enough, but it has a dedicated website and a discord server… HUH???

yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to get at with my lil meme. I used to get into a bunch of flame wars on the side of android because I would hear the apple people complain about fake made-up issues that I never experienced being a long-time android user. But seeing posts like OP’s makes me realize that those issues aren’t actually made up, they’re completely real and I just wasn’t seeing them because I am running a custom ROM. Like, in another thread some guy was concern-trolling about Google Services crashes being a “well-known issue” and everyone was upvoting him. Of course I would have no clue what he’s talking about, I don’t even have Google Services installed! So yeah, what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve never used an AOSP-based ROM and your entire experience of “android” are the slow buggy bloated ROMs that come installed by default on most phones, I’d understand why you’d choose to go with Apple instead.

I’m not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me

Wow, this is a very insightful remark! Although I’m a little confused by your second point, would you mind expanding on that?

My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!

Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick

So it’s like make but without incremental builds? Then how is it functionally different from a folder with a bunch of shell scripts in it?

This is basically the plot of The Vegetarian by Han Kang

Didn’t the wannacry payload (yes, that one) actually work through wine? I remember the running joke was “Heh, finally something works in wine”

Is this really what the non-FOSS android experience has become nowadays!? AI chatbots in your messages app? This seems absolutely miserable. I think I finally understand why there are so many iOS users out there.

That’s brilliant haha

You know this is the good shit because when it first came out a few years back google was running a huge disinformation campaign against it. You’d search for “adnauseum” in google and the first result would be an article from some weird advertising company calling is “insecure” and “malware” without any actual argumentation behind those claims, while no other search engine returned that article (I lost the screenshots, so yall are just gonna have to take my word for it). They also delisted it from the chrome store for not discernible reason. They were afraid.

But nowadays I’m willing to bet that they figured out how to detect adnauseum’s fake clicks and filtering it out. Stuff like that needs a talented development team to keep it up to date.

Flatpak is such a cool tool, kind of sad seeing it be mainly used for barely usable bloatware like libadwaita and electron. So much unrealised potential

cool

thanks, I’ll take a look.
