Isn’t the point of an OS so that users don’t have to use cmd prompt? That’s why we aren’t using DOS anymore.

You tried it 12 years ago. So before Windows 8 came out? Think of how much Windows has changed in that time. Linux distros have changed as well, but they have focused on usability with each change.

Steam has built in Linux compatibility that you can turn on for all games and has been working great for me. Lutris and Wine provide other compatibility options.

Can’t you just have an OS that doesn’t fight you constantly when you’re trying to use your computer the way you want?

I installed Linux Mint last week. I was waiting until I had a 2nd drive to install it on so I could still have windows if needed.
It was easier to install than windows ever was, and easier to find help to do the things I want. It makes a world of difference when your OS isn’t actively fighting you all the time. I even had an easier time connecting to my media tower over the network (which is still on Windows) and accessing its files than I ever had trying to connect to it from a Windows machine.

I haven’t touched my windows drive once since I installed Mint and I’m planning on taking it off to free up my SSD.

Don’t pretend like that’s an argument for you to not bother to read anything and ask others to spoon feed you information.

So you were downvoted for not bothering to read or even skim the article to do a minimum amount of looking on your own to see what they were talking about.

he must not, quote “say anything stupid” for a little while.

Did they sew his mouth shut?

They asked for a source in the comments about an article that has sources. RTFA.

There are links in the actual article being discussed here.

“I’d rather be told to ‘have a nice day’ by someone who doesn’t mean it than be told to ‘go fuck yourself’ by someone who does.”

I don’t know how any advertiser (or user) could have any faith in that platform anymore.

For the advertisers they know it’s full of rubes who will easily fall for their scams. Hence the cryptocurrencies.

Nothing there indicates that the archeologists are actually worried, just that they haven’t assessed it yet.

Full context:

The orange cornflour used to spray the monuments will be washed away by rain, said Just Stop Oil. However, according to the BBC, experts will need to assess the stones to see if lasting damage has been caused. “They are sensitive and they are completely covered in prehistoric markings which remain to be fully studied,” said Mike Pitts, archaeologist and author of How to Build Stonehenge, to the BBC.

That doesn’t say they think there is damage, just that they haven’t been able to assess it yet.

Once you take high school English your teacher will tell you not to write “in my opinion” in front of everything you write because it is unnecessary. Of course it is your option, you said it.

Someone with basic logic can extrapolate from that that if someone says something like “Fallout 4 is bad” that is clearly someone presenting an opinion and not an objective truth.

Ok hear me out: If I am downloading an add-on for the explicit purpose of watching youtube, then I am not interested in being told by the add-on not to use it. If I want to watch less youtube I will, and I know this sounds novel: I will watch less youtube.

If I want helpful life tips I will go look for helpful life tips on my own. If I want to be told youtube sucks then I already know youtube sucks. I don’t understand why the fuck, when the entire purpose of me installing an add-on is to block a site from showing me things I didn’t ask for, you keep trying to convince me to have the add-on show me things I did not ask for. The defeats the entire fucking purpose of me getting it in the first place.

I have stated this as clearly as I can multiple times. I am done trying to explain it any further.

How much work they were getting done is explicitly, pointedly NOT the metric they were fired for.

Why would a mouse jiggler be effective for any reason unless it was a metric being measured?

What if I offer you an add-on that would promote healthy life-habits instead of black screen? Would you be interested in that?

No. I want to watch the thing I specifically decided to watch, and not what someone else wants to advertise to me.

Let me simplify this for you: If I’m getting an addon to stop seeing ads, I’m not going to choose an addon that replaces them with other ads. I will choose the addon that doesn’t give me ads.

The only people who would even consider such an addon are not the target audience for the ads because they already support it.

I use Jellyfin because it’s pretty light weight and straight forward. Just add the shows you want to a playlist, or even just specific seasons, and shuffle play.
