They are in it for the money. There are probably old reports that state that automatic elevators don't displace elevator operators, but instead creates jobs. There are probably reports that state industrial robots create jobs. Listen to your common sense, folks. BTW, their webpage even asked me to disable my adblocker, which I have none. I guess that Firefox doesn't let there trackers work. So, perhaps their best intentions...aren't for you.

Submission + - Windows to Linux refugees, which free/small aps do you miss and need? 1

BrendaEM writes: Windows does have a lot of useful but smaller than power-aps. Some of these are closed source, some are open--that are not available in Linux, yet. Which applications do you need, which have no parallel in Linux?

My list would have to contain GTK versions of: Irfanview image manager, which I think is unequaled in Linux, which does work to some extent under Wine. I also miss the full version of 7zip, because of its better compression settings, which File-Roller does not provide, though https://www.ruinelli.ch/p7zip-... is available but unnoticed by common distribution. Lastly, I think that Notepad++ would be a good addition to Linux.

Which daily-driver aps do you need?

There are so many problems with Windows 11. It's fat and bloated which matters in an AI-created RAM crisis, has AI-clap, and digging through user interface is a journey back to the 1990s, when it was much better, for which Microsoft sic. solves by removing functionality from the user, because they are confused that is not a closed and limited architecture. Meanwhile, system logs or anything that uses the ill-conceived registry takes a long time to sort. Bluetooth file transfer has been hobbled. Bluetooth headphones don't know enough to reconnect. They really messed up the the newest installer, in the partition handling section, which cost me a corrupted disk because it didn't refresh between actions. We users are tired of updates at the worst time, because we are Microsoft's beta testers. Also, Microsoft overseeing video card settings was a real d-move. Linux is often faster, and I am pretty sure that the battery life is better on most boxes running Linux. I am tried of Microsoft treating my computer as if it is theirs. With nVME's search/spy caching is no longer needed, but is miserable to disable in Windows.
