Yeah that’s it, thanks

Where’s that iPhone comic about society

There’s also general gatekeeping of their developer tools which restricticts ports of software, and not following standards properly (USBc, sms).

Sounds like people with voting. They love to tell you how it doesn’t matter, and yet republicans put tons of effort into making it more difficult.

Ungoogled chromium with some privacy extensions would probably be a similar experience.

Any reason for picking it over all the other chromium browsers?

Monitors at different refresh rates is a downside of x11, which Mint uses for all its desktop environments.

I mean, for most distros you should be about to install and use the OS without touching the terminal. Yeah, you may want to use it for some things (idk what you were trying to do) but it’s kind of the same thing in Windows with registry edits and such. It’s a tool and if you don’t know how to use it, you’re probably gonna get lost.

Also how is it easier to go to a webpage to download an installer instead of using a store? Even microsoft is trying to move in that direction.

I mean as long as it’s apple and not some small company or individual, they can extort away.

Don’t all mastodon accounts have RSS feeds?

Some people want some sort of suggestion system. I figure as long as it’s an opt-in choice, why not? Gives people what they want and makes the ecosystem more enticing. And at least it’s an algorithm that’s transparent rather than one controlled by a large corporation.
