I agree that Linux Mint is closer to what the vocal Linux desktop community would like to see, but Ubuntu is anything but abandoned. Where I work, both my coworkers (excluding myself) and customers are either using RHEL or Ubuntu. That’s it. Sure, everyone on Lemmy and Reddit swears against Ubuntu and has no need for plain-RHEL, but a lot more of the non-vocal Linux community is using Ubuntu. I prefer Pop!_OS, but that’s besides the point.
Source: Ubuntu is anywhere between 4th and 6th place on these charts:

And it has come a long way too. In fact, I just donated since it’s struck me how solid of an experience it’s been.
I love this graphic because it’s a reminder to self-proclaimed “gamers” that mobile gaming has been doing laps around “real” gaming for over half a decade now, with no indication of the trend changing. Yes, mobile games are typically lower quality and more predatory, but it’s undeniable that the average person who plays video games now is just a regular person with a phone.
Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.
If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.
So, you’re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldn’t exist without shadow bans.
Or they already exist and are in such a fragile state that even an explicit ban makes them upset (which it does.)
I’m pretty sure anybody who develops anything in the jailbreaking scene can tell you that Apple’s source code is not open to the public.
I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.
I think a lot of people buy Macs because they think the only other choice is a computer running Windows.
Oh, this reminds me of the company I’m working for right now.
“You want this promotion? Great! You’re qualified and we’ll have you do this project first to see if you like this work.”
“Really? I have almost no experience with this programming language, but okay!”
Does project
“Actually, you’re not qualified enough. Sorry!”
A week later one of the devs on that team apologized for the situation (not that it was their fault at all.) But still, what BS that all was.
… I am, though.
I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.
People will be damned if…
Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?
Because they don’t care who owns what platform. They care that they’re different and only some of their friends are on one of them and not the other.
Because many more people are concerned with where their friends are and what’s cool.
I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the ones I use have a disabled scale, but only that one grocery store I mentioned actually uses it. It could be that they have poorly calibrated scales, but if that’s the case, then all of the ones they use are. Self-checkout everywhere else is a breeze.
The closest grocery store closest to my house is the only self-checkout store around me that still uses scales and they’re awful. There are certain items it doesn’t pick up on and it forces you to bag your groceries after checking out, making everything slower. I avoid that place at all costs, even though it’s the closest to me.
Or shitty companies tell their employees to deny any claims made about the situation.
If you’re using a device or network-wide ad-blocker like I do, then you won’t see them. When I try to use Waze on somebody else’s phone, the ads are unbearable.
