Which in turn creates a self fulfilling prophecy that they created themselves.

And I also wonder, will it only allow app installs from the app store like they're supposed to be doing on Android for phones?

Or they figure those remaining can take up the slack

If I cannot fight with my representation, I will fight with my wallet. Cancelled my Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ account yesterday.

That totally looks safe

The tremendously terrible times.

That title doesn't match the story/article

I find it wild this was even in the conversation or debatable... Who released this and didn't put controls regarding the suicide topic and immediately direct whoever, regardless of age to something not artificial. A Hotline, family etc... anything but engage with that topic.

Two cars I really wanted at various stages in my life...

1978-9 Trans Am 1993-5 Mazda RX-7

This one, however, did not get away :)

Ya, for my father (in his 70s) I was proud he gave it a real effort, but there were just too many changes and things that broke his workflow causing him to bail on it

Ya, it's annoying for sure... As I said, chicken and egg type thing. The market share has to be there before these companies will invest anything in linux. You'd think macos would be a gateway to them providing linux support but that doesn't seem to translate well.

I wish it were that easy. I'm pretty tech literate and I've had Linux installed on and off since the late 1990's. I'm running fedora desktop on a dual boot machine that also has windows 10. The PC will run windows 11 but just like everyone else I'm not excited to upgrade.

But I still have to hop over to windows to do things. I know it's a chicken and egg thing, but Linux just needs to get over the hump if ease of use and app availability.

Having to switch from. App1 to app1 that boat do say, CAD, is hard. It's a learning curve. And add that learning curve into also switching to Linux and it's overwhelming.

I actually got my dad on fedora, and he went all in and set it up, and worked quite diligently to get everything working for how he used his computer. He did this because his PC was fine but not windows 11 compatible. End the end there were just too many things that he struggled with and he broke down and bought a new PC that came with 11. One of the big issues he had was with documents. Syncing documents that he was editing.

He was OK relearning a new Libre Office but it was syncing it back to a Google drive or something that ultimately did not work for him. (I can't remember exactly what he was doing).

He ran with Fedora for a couple months before giving up
