I haven’t seen all of them in person, but the other day someone showed me the StarLite which is their budget laptop and honestly it really surprised me. The only thing with similar build quality I’ve seen at such a low price was the google pixel book go which can be had used absurdly cheap.

I think they’re the company I’d use to buy Linux laptops if I used one daily, these days I use a MacBook Air m2 simply because the battery life beats all and for how I work that’s what I need most.

If you're genuinely looking for Linux Laptops I'd take a look at https://starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter

There's also https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/index.php

The price to pay for myself to move is way too high, I use 3 chrome profiles daily. 1 as my personal gmail and 2 work email profiles and trying to manage that in Firefox is just not worth it.

A lot of businesses use the google services and when you’re locked into using them through work there’s absolutely no reason to not just do everything in chrome with profiles.

There’s also the fact that Firefox sync is absolutely shit compared to the google sync features and while I understand why from a user perspective it’s a massive loss of functionality.

Now you're making me nostalgic for Myspace

Definitely has to be Megadeth without a question. Imagine them with an actual singer and they’d be so insane.

Dream theater is second but only because labrie has had his voice deteriorate so much over the years. His voice on every album up to octavarium was amazing.

Press a massive X to doubt on reduction of micro transactions. See halo infinite on that front.

The reason I personally don’t want this as someone who does not own a PlayStation or a Nintendo console and likely never will is this leads to a future where Microsoft builds up enough IP where suddenly everything is locked into Microsoft game pass and their own store and windows that anyone wanting to use a different platform may as well just fuck off.

It’s the first step on the road to anti consumer practices that Microsoft has historically always done.

I gotta get me one of those.

Maybe but I can only go with my own anecdotal experience and It tends to be the younger audience more attracted to them.

Of course, I fully admit I may be completely wrong.

Yeah Disney+ legitimately made me mad also. Fuck the streaming services.

I think they use the tablet location info to block you.

It's definitely progress and seeing myself in one of the top results was nice but it's going to take a lot more work and tbh the decentralised nature of the links might also hurt because clicking on the dbzero link looks like a hackerman link if you know what I mean

I mean that may or may not be the case, I can't speak for all of them but it's definitely a challenge to build a new community from scratch and it's a lot of work.

It's not for everyone and 99% of people who say they can or could do it are full of shit.

Yeah I’ve noticed my library has changed quite a bit and my storage needs are going to have to increase thanks to friends and family but is what it is.

I’ll look into overseer but seems like a lot more work than doplarr to setup
