Roller coaster Tycoon is one of a lifetime game.

Now everything is electron or react shit. Gone are the times of downloading fully featured software under 10mb.

I like partitions to be at the root of my file system. And dedicate each one to a specific use. And even dedicate a separate hard drive for my personal files. When in need of transfer or repairs just move this drive to another PC and carry on the work while the former PC gets repaired or nuked.

This is one of my biggest gripes stopping me from switching to Linux. I just can’t give-up windows’ partitions. I find Unix/Linux file system to be incompatible with how I like storing my files.

I stand with chat-gpt on this. Whoever created these double letters is the idiot here.

Statcounter’s graph of iOS market share points to more than half 56% on Norway, so I bet if there is a need for replacing windows in Norway they will swing to apple instead of Linux.

Of all countries Norway might be among the last to switch to Linux.

Rich countries tend to go the apple way.

I might consider eternity abandonware now

1 year no updates

We probably don’t use it for the same work. But I can do way way more work using other software than dancing around the interface clicking a bizzillion buttons before achieving anything. I need realtime dynamic editing and FreeCAD can’t do that.

Freecad is a real no go. Tried it and forced to do something with it. The amount of bugs. And really basic bugs makes using it for professional work a non starter. It basically is a collection of amateur software stitched together with no single part having reached maturity.

Freecad was built on top of a giant library called opencascade. Which is in part the reason why we can’t have dynamic or real time modeling. Everything takes triple the interactions to make than in its commercial counterparts.

Add to that the lack of vision and the different fields of work of the contributors makes its development spread all over the place. Unlike blender, it doesn’t seem like FreeCAD will achieve a breakthrough milestone.

It is either an extortion from your domain registrar or sometimes opportunistic domain squatters taking over your domain for a year or two. Check for how long it was registered a put a reminder to get it back

Oh shit. Now that I have checked, it was turned on by default on mine too.

What’s wrong with you mozilla ?? Firefox was supposed to be the alternative

It is easier to compromise a device than to try and compromise encrypted communications.

You are telling me this has been going on for almost a decade now, and no one ever noticed ?

So we trust open source apps under the premise that if malicious code gets added to the code, at least one person will notice ? Here it shows that years pass before anyone notices and millions of people’s communications could have been compromised by the world’s most trusted messaging app.

I don’t know which app to trust after this, if any?

LineageOS kinda dead these last years they only do pixel phones. While the hoards of people using android are buying Samsung’s and Xioami’s budget phones

Edit: after reading the comments. I checked again and was surprised they have updated the list with newer models they weren’t on the list a few months ago

Linux Mint is king. The rest are imposters 🤪

I know. I was talking about making it default. As many newcomers won’t know about it’s existence first hand, and give up on it

Yes some call it tabbed menu. Others call it ribbon menu. It should be the default as many users nowadays are used to this UX paradigm

Why libre office hasn’t adopted the tabbed many bar yet is beyond me ! They are probably not gonna be sued by Microsoft. It is just a huge ux improvement and would ease the friction for new comers especially that everyone is used to using tabbed bar on every other software.

If you need to use software professionally or in a commercial product, then go commercial.

I have been trying to switch to using more open source lately. And I couldn’t notice how more than 90% of projects I Land on are abandonware . and the rest are so slowly moving you shouldn’t rely on the for anything where security matters.

Stick with Foss projects that have a non profit behind then or a strong community of devs behind them. With a leat dozens of commits a month.

Ubuntu. The whole interface paradigm puts me off.
