I can understand people not wanting to learn a ton of CLIs, I cannot understand people refusing to use any at all. They have the distinct advantage that you can copy + paste stuff, whereas in Windows you sometimes have to follow like a dozen steps to do whatever you want to do in a 2000s GUI.
1/3 of the Steam + Linux market, that accounted for an incredible 1.45% of Steam installs in February. This means there were roughly 67 Windows gamers for every Linux gamer (using Steam) that month.
So even if Linux gamers are 10 times more likely to care (and pay for) for game preservation, you are not even approaching the number of Windows users that might. Suppose 90% of Linux gamers care, while only 9% on Windows do, you still have roughly 9 Windows users for every Linux one. And this is a very generous assumption to make.
Maybe, eventually, at some point, this makes sense financially. But if your goal is to be profitable, you grab the low hanging fruits first, not invest in maybe 10% more potential users.
What if I told you that the intersection between people who care and the 5% of their potential audience that are Linux users is very small either way?
I’m not saying Linux isn’t a chance for them, but it’s also an investment and very like not a profitable one for quite a while.
If you are talking about online services, Proton is a Swiss option and for what it’s worth, Bitwarden offers an EU instance. Both are freemium OSS. You could also self-host Bitwarden. If you are looking for offline options, there are plenty. KeePass2 comes to mind.
I hate it when people want to hate on something, yet get the platform or alternatively the proposition wrong. Because you will release stuff as a Flatpak and possibly on Flathub.
Half of Lemmy: “Oh no, please, don’t destroy my asshole 🤤”
Demon: “I am here to annihilate humanity! Hello? Please stop it… You’re making this really awkward…”
Both can be true, don’t pressure yourself. Just do what you can if you feel like it and vote for people who do too
Because companies give zero fucks. They will tell you they need tons of IT people, when in reality they want tons of underpaid programmers. They want stuff as fast and cheap as possible. What doesn’t cause immediate trouble is usually good enough. What can be patched up somehow is kept running, even when it only leads you further up the cliff you will fall off eventually.
Management is sometimes completely clueless. They rather hire twice as many people to keep some poorly developed app running, than to invest in a new, better developed app, that requires less maintenance and provides a better user experience. Zero risk tolerance and zero foresight.
It still generates money, you keep it running. Any means are fine.
You need to use as many different formats as possible, otherwise you look unprofessional
Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don’t even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that
Pretty damn cool tech tho. Another step towards second heart cyberware
Nooo, that’s disgusting. The wrapper from the thing I just shoved into my face is trash now after all 😭
I guess what you meant to say is that are people stupid enough to buy that shit.
I don’t necessarily think that is about stupidity tbh, but that aside, you might want to work on your wording
*yesterday
You think about it the wrong way. GPS is not passive, it is everywhere
Not all rest is equally refreshing. If you have a sleep deficit build up, a bad mattress, a loud environment, some psychological or physical condition, it can negatively affect your sleep.
You should look out for stuff that makes you sleep worse. I don’t do sports in the evening, I try not to eat too late and I don’t look at my phone the second I hit the sheets. There is also a midnight high I particularly struggle with. If I don’t got bed before it, I absolutely cannot sleep, unless I take melatonin.
Takes a while to figure out everything for you personally.
It’s because we are depressed nihilists who have given up on pretty much everything, running on gallows homour to a point where we are meming youth slang. Don’t worry, we’re fine haha… Ha…
And punishable by prison in Germany
Pretty much the standard in all of Germany except the water is usually better than any you can buy
The GDPR is definitely neither wits end, nor applied reasonably under all circumstances. I have my doubts that these “cutbacks” will be the adequate reforms however.
