Personally, I think this first response nails it.

Linux is not sold. So you either need to force users to install this on their systems, or go eat rocks.

Enterprise distros on the other hand… Need to do this.

Reminds me of:

Have you tried… Water?

Cashburn is like projecting profit but instead of profit you are just going to burn the pool of money you have so much your profits won’t mean anything. Anything black on this line is profit, red is cash burn. All companies start in a cash burn state, but if you look at the ones listed, the initial cash burn when they launched was relatively small.

OpenAI is planning to burn more money than most of them profited.

Should be in the mildlyvagina sub as well.

Thats exactly how I feel about heat.

And to be fair, nothing in the question specifies the language to continue the conversation in.

Sure it’s ESL class, but within the context of this question… No rules were broken.

Wait for the better holiday, Feb 15th, aka cheap chocolate day.

Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.

The differentiator is max speed in Canada. Regardless of how they are built. If you can exceed a certain speed, license required.

I stared at that logo trying to work out what it said for a bit… When I finally noticed that the domain in the link was what it said… I realised just how unreadable that logo is…

If you don’t need voice, there are a lot of options. Matrix has IRC support and encryption, and has voice options if you self host.

Riot is… A Discord clone without working voice and I found it to be an odd duck.

There’s RocketChat… More Slack like.

Mattermost.

I replaced my voice/video chats with Nextcloud Talk and/or Steam, based on the scenario. Outside of those, Matrix is good for community needs in my mind.

We interacted on the internet for years without discord.

It is far from essential.

Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.

Sure, but then you are also not funding Google’s competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn’t directly fund Google, but you’re still helping them maintain their position.

AND it doubles as a rudder!

Pressed Xanax bars?

What, like medication based granola? What do you chase that with?

2025 was exhausting… 2026 moreso. This is why, right here.

The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.
