I don’t think the security issues with windows stem from not having the user enter their password a bunch of times.

Yeah, but you gotta admit it’s possible windows does some things better.

I also think a lot of linux users get tunnel-visioned and believe that something is incorrect simply because it’s how another OS does it.

Thank you for the informative response. I was unaware Windows machines employed similar behavior in corporate environments.

Do you think, then, that it would be acceptable for Linux to remove these restrictions in home environments?

It’s not nearly as bad as it is now.

And it was always a scam, even back then.

Yep.

Sorry.

You didn’t subscribe to those things.

The problem is that you’re renting access to something you’re not actually consuming.

Once you stop paying, you lose access and have nothing to show for it. They still have your money, though.

This is different than, say, paying for electricity which is consumed and no longer available for either party after consumption.

Sorry bud, you’re defending being scammed.

Plus a large part of the article is about non-profit libraries anyway.

Nice talking point just to cover your bum from shilling.

Hmm. It sounds to me you just don’t want to acknowledge when you’re being taken for a ride.

But hey, to each their own.

Businesses want a lifeline to our wallets, which is why subscriptions and renting are pushed on useful idiots.

I’m glad you like it.

What the fuck is this rent-a-center propaganda?

How stupid are we?

Nope.

What’s sad is the gnome team is so adamant about removing functionality to make their jobs easier.

This means you need extensions to make gnome usable, but it ends up feeling hacked together because it is.

I’ll never forgive the gnome team for their defense of putting the dock on the side with no option to change it or not including something like gnome tweak tools by default.

It’s really obvious gnome died with gnome3. That’s when all the forks happened, and for good reason. The gnome3 team just listens to the wrong people.

I’m glad we have alternatives to that pile of crap.

but somehow not for CEOs?

Workers do the actual work. CEOs just make decisions that anyone can make and they have a board of people usually backing them up.

I think Matrix is the future, it just needs better designers and implementation.

They really, really shouldn’t do things differently than discord just to be different.
