Comment Misconceptions. (Score 3, Funny) 123

Sure were 100% motivated by profit, but trust us! We're not spying on you! We love you too much to do that! Our mothers didn't raise us to be a telemetry nightmare and sell your info to our trusted 800 partners! NO! How DARE you accuse us of the things - that everyone else is doing!

Comment Alcohol, one of the worst drugs. (Score 1) 90

Pot..., not too bad. Meth... very bad. Heroin... look up deaths compared to alcohol, per capita. Alcohol... very bad. it's a bad drug. Say what you will. How many lives has it destroyed? Families? How many people has it killed in cars? How many thousands has it killed outright. If Alcohol showed up now, as a street drug people are using, it would be outlawed very quickly. Yet we have large populations dedicated to stopping drinking. In SoCal where I live, whole supermarket isles are dedicated to alcohol. But since alcohol has been around forever, it's accepted as normal, in general. Just because it's accepted generally, doesn't make it a good drug. I'm not against people social drinking. I'm not against people using it even for drug-like purposes. But I do think the latter is dumb.

Yeah.. surveillance. No US company has ever done anything like that! No way!.... .... Except that every single new car is now phoning home, sending your driving data... to manufactures like GM, who have been caught selling that data to ... which companies? Insurance companies. So.. I'm supposed to side with "our" manufacturers. Which devil in the details do you want to go with?

Comment Um..like uh, man uh uh. no. (Score 1) 81

Watched the video. I'm going to run my system on this guy's recommendation in his into vid? Not an effing chance. He talks as if he's talking at someone at lunch. He's on a break so why not talk about my os? It's the BEST, best experience, it's the best at everything. Any evidence, specs, um... um, yeah, man this is the best! man... the guy can't put together a decent presentation regarding "his distro?" I'm supposed to make that OS my daily driver? Not an effing chance. COMPIZ is the best deskop! I used it in the 90s and it drove me crazy. I didn't like then.. probably won't like it now.

"We're listening to YOU. Well first we put out stuff we - hoped you'd accept and you're a little noisy about it so we'll change it.... What? You want to choose your default apps easily? That's crazy talk! Oh, an you want us to stop gathering telemetry on users? Right.. why can't you be happy because we are fixing search ... that we broke?"

Comment What does linux not have? A photoshop competitor. (Score 1) 244

The Gimp is not even close the Photoshop overall. I've used windows since 3.1, and win 11 is not touching any of my equipment, virtual or otherwise. Being also a long time Linux user I switched to Linux Mint which I'd been using for a long time. But trying to use Gimp in any way that is similar to Photoshop - not really possible. Once I realized this, for real, I bought a 2020 Mac M1 mini 16GB, and it runs Photoshop beautifully. But the Gimp - is no replacement for Photoshop... I wish people would stop saying it. I'm not supporting Adobe's attitudes or business moves, but Photoshop... that's a great product.
