Because to companies, labor is just a business expense, you’re a cost to be kept low so they can please investors/shareholders. Our system isn’t for your average worker, it’s for the people who own the businesses.

I feel like it’s hit-or-miss. A lot of people will zipper merge, but a lot of other people don’t care and mess things up.
I do not believe, at all, that linux needs to grow. We don’t need to appeal to every casual pc user, because for most of these people what they are using already works just fine for them - and if they don’t already have the drive to learn about and try linux on their own, there’s no reason to shove it in their faces.
I really don’t have a place or space to display them, so they sit in a bin on a small shelf w/ my other retro game stuff. I’ve never minded the lack of spine labels since I’ve always had them in bins, haha. There’s even some hidden gems on the platform!
Nintendo 64 games.
It was the first game console I really played much of growing up. I’d go to my dads on the weekends and he had it there, so it was this magical time, playing Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64. I’ve collected nearly all the games I grew up with, as well as some I never played as a kid. I like having it, knowing that at any time I can play them, in their original forms on hardware. Emulation is great but playing on hardware just hits different.
I’m not sure who yet, but I will be voting for a third-party candidate.
I fundamentally draw the line at voting for any candidate that funds genocide like joe. The two party system is broken.
A lot of games increase difficulty by just turning up HP and attack numbers, and part of the fun of souls games is that that’s really not how they handled difficulty.
I dislike Trump as much as the rest of us but this isn’t a place for slurs
Cats aren’t dogs. The best way to get the results you want with a cat is positive reinforcement and redirection. Punishment does not and will not work, it will actually worsen whatever behaviors you’re trying to stop. Feeding at a consistent time can help, but your cat is a kitten, give it some time and he’ll chill out.
Half the population is literally CHILDREN.
You might also want to consider why, in the first place, any of them would support Hamas? Israel started this, it’s always been an attempted genocide.
I think that the linux desktop has improved dramatically every year, but there are issues as well. This really isn’t unique to linux though, no OS out there fulfills every user’s needs (and in the case of linux, there are so many different people/groups with different philosophies making distros, that it can be super hit or miss). I’ve had my fair share of normal updates breaking the system, or installing ubuntu and getting booted straight to the tty since it didn’t ship with nvidia drivers at the time. Even now, when I run an update, I have to manually delete the updated nvidia driver and manually downgrade to the old one because I simply get a black screen with the new one.
The issues are always managable, fixable, but I think that they do make linux very difficult for people without the time or understanding to troubleshoot the problem.
But, when I was on windows I had plenty of things break there too, ads in the start menu, that sluggishness that windows always seems to get if you don’t do a fresh install every year or two. I had a game that would crash on boot if I had my USB headset plugged in. And of course, updates breaking the system randomly.
The issues you seem to be having aren’t normal, and while I’m tempted to blame Ubuntu, I’m not sure. Ubuntu makes some really strange choices, I feel, and did cause me more issues than other distro’s I’ve tried.
But really the core of what I’m saying is that depending on your use case, linux might suck, but it can also be far better than other OS’s.
A lot of weed
More focus on the ability to maintain, repair, and perhaps even upgrade existing tech. So often people are pushed to upgrade constantly, and devices aren’t really built to last anymore. For example, those yearly trade in upgrade plans that cell phone providers do. It sucks knowing that, once the battery in my cell phone finally dies, the whole phone is essentially garbage and has to be replaced. I miss my older smartphones that still had replaceable batteries, because at least then it’s just the battery that’s garbage.
We’re throwing so much of our very limited amount of resources right into landfills because of planned obsolescence.
I just use it as a place to vent my thoughts, feelings, or frustrations in the moment. I think of it as “screaming into the void” and over time you collect a small circle of people you regularly interact with. Don’t think about it too deeply because it’s not deep
If I’m being totally honest, my primary use-case is gaming. I only have linux installed on my device, and if a game doesn’t work, I simply play other things and hope it will eventually work.
Sometimes, with some effort, you can get windows programs to work using wine. For example, I was able to run Mod Organizer 2 to mod skyrim without issues. If that fails and your software won’t work in wine, you could either find alternative native linux software or just dual-boot. I used to do that to play VR games in windows 10 since I’ve had issues running them in linux. Another option is to run a windows Virtual Machine whenever you need whatever software you can’t get working, but there’s pretty bad performance limitations unless you can get hardware passthrough working.
I’m really not convinced that even if linux, at some point, does become a better platform for gaming than windows, that windows users will swap over. Mainstream gamers probably have never installed an OS before, it’s intimidating for people.
I know it’s maybe not a great replacement for everyone, but this crap is why I stopped using YouTube and just use Peertube now.
Genuinely… you seem very out of touch. Your entire premise is incredibly ableist. You presume that anybody can do the things you’re listing, but many of us are living with disabilities, and not everyone has had the opportunities you have had to have enough money to pay for a house, or to buy a car. A $2.5k car is ultimately, MUCH More expensive than buying a more expensive car, because you are getting one that’s barely functional for that price. Once all my bills are out of the way, I take home $100 for all unnecessary expenses anyways, so it would take me years to save up for one of those pieces of junk.
You take for granted that you have the confidence and motivation to do things like, say, even apply to one of these homebuyers programs - but other people have to put in more effort just to get out of bed in the morning.
Check your goddamn privilege.
I have only managed to convince ONE person to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, tragically, because it’s my favorite tv show of all time.
