iPhone 8, I have been surprised by how long it has lasted so far. Still gets security updates every now and then.

Next phone is probably going to be a fairphone.

Hmm I might print this on a t-shirt.

Like all cases, it depends. I use both foss and proprietary software. I always checkout foss first when needing new software.

Part of me wants to buy this book just to see how crazy it gets. But I don’t want to give the grifters money…

Fair, that reply above is not helpful at all. I mean yeah, I have had my fair share of dependence hell as well. Mostly when trying to install an external deb package. I know how to prevent it nowadays but it ain’t user friendly at all.

Also I would be hesitant to use Linux as a workstation. If I had the luxury of time I would for ideological reasons alone. But I don’t have that kind of time. Troubleshooting can become costly when you get paid by the hour.

Compatible issues on desktop environment level? This is the first time I ever hear about that.

I tried it. For months and months. But I always ended up with either a bad shave, or a bloodied face. Apparently my skin is to weak for this stuff. So I am back to expensive cartridges.

Oh my god. It took me a while to figure out what this meant. I guess I was wooshed while attempting to point out a non existent woosh.

Ain’t that just welfare? I thought UBI means that you will get the money, even if you work.

TBH my perspective might be skewed cause I am qualified for disability income, but I choose to work anyway. So I naturally tend to assume that others would do the same.

Woosh. He meant 2001: a space odyssey

I too think it is justified. Simply not used to this tone on Wikipedia. Which is why I find it funny.

Yep, I switched to kagi a while back and couldn’t be happier with the results. If you don’t want to be the product, maybe consider paying for search?
