    It’s the constant war on end users that chased me away from windows.

    You can’t say no to their relentless advertising. It’s “maybe later”. The pushing to require a Microsoft account. Ads in the start menu. Windows Recall.

    The list goes on. You get as much agency as Microsoft allows, or you violate your eula and modify the os to remove things you don’t want.

    We didn’t know it at the time, but windows 7 was peak windows.


















  • I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said?

    I’m saying that just adding Mozilla’s PPA to your sources won’t change apt’s behavior when installing Firefox unless you tell apt to prefer the package offered by the Mozilla PPA.

    As someone who uses Kubuntu as a daily driver, I’m well aware of the snap drama and have worked around it using the method I pasted above.

    Even though it’s an underhanded move by Cannonical, I’m still glad the OS is open source since it makes the workaround so trivial.



  • Biden never had enough control of the whole government to get those things done without Republican buy-in.

    A Republican controlled house won’t send a bill like that to the Senate. A Republican controlled Senate won’t send it to the President.

    You can be upset at Biden, but we’ve rarely ever given a Democratic president a Democratic Congress to help him get anything done.
