My team recently finished the PDR for an astroid lander, this picture is surprisingly accurate.

Why not just come out and say "hey I 3D sculpt orcs, toss me $2 a month for orcs"?
I'm sure no one wants this to turn into a people pushing their personal stores, but that's a rad orc and you aren't anywhere close to spamming yet.
If you think it's crazy your school uses three year old programs wait until you find out how many businesses are running XP!
Didn't Microsoft lose a large anti trust court case about this shit for internet explorer?
Yes and no.
MS made Internet explorer uninstallable and made it even if you could install Netscape you couldn't set it as the default app. Forcing teams to open ~~internet explorer~~ edge is more in line with iPhones and Android. Both phone OSs will let you install different browsers, but opening links from most 1st party apps opens safari or chrome with no real way to change it. It's one of the worst things about phones and now MS is trying to move Windows that direction.
It's going to get worse. Once corporations start to adopt edge MS will move to make browser office the only office. Clicking a .doc in edge will redirect to browser word 365. Saving already defaults to the cloud, soon we'll have "virtual downloads" that save your download to your cloud and you can only meaningfully interact with it via edge.
We need more legislation and regulations allowing software choice for all platforms. We've never been allowed to own software, now we can't even buy a perpetual license. Soon we won't be allowed to have a copy of software saved on our devices, and files made by that software won't be allowed on our computers either.
Valve is such a weird company.
They became where nearly every PC game is sold by using some of the greatest games of all time as advertising. The orange box has to be the biggest return on a loss leader ever.
VB was great for learning coding.
Slap some buttons down and have them do math. I made an NPC generator for every RPG I ran in VB as a teen. I felt like I was a hero putting out something that looked "good" for the time.
Are you telling me if you are in front of Bigfoot you aren't gonna be ready to go?
Bedroom eyes is the worst episode of DS9.
Everyone looks like they are uncomfortable at all points.
Reviews have gotten stupid.
Let's look at DISCO. Users put it at 37%. That's about as bad as "Cop Out," "Howard the duck", "the adventures of sharkboy and lavagirl" and something called "four kids and it."
I'm not a fan of DISCO, it takes itself too seriously, solves most problems with violence, has no chemistry between crew members and refuses to spend time developing most characters. That being said, it sure as heck is a lot better than "Howard the duck".
Let's look at a couple audience reviews to see where the hate is coming from (actual quotes from IMDB user reviews)- "Should have been called Star Woke" "Too busy being woke" "If a character is a straight white man they are evil"
Oh no. It's bigotry.
User reviews have become bombarded by conservatives pushing an agenda. An agenda that says that any representation is harmful and offensive. It's impossible to gain real insight on user experiences through online polls because of a loud minority crying about seeing a black/queer/Asian/trans/educated/disabled person.
It makes it hard to criticize shows due to the "anti-woke" offering you a robe when you say something bad about a show with a woman.
Every hour was obviously hyperbole. It would break often. Normally due to some issue that would pop up, most often drivers.
She did run on unstable and had a fetch for updates automated every evening. Her goal wasn't a stable OS, but to be at the forefront of testing. She knew no programming, so it meant that she would report bugs and have a box with a giant fan that didn't run anything most of the time. She made bad choices.
I'm sure stable Debian is stable. I'm sure it's gotten better in the past 15 years, but the fact my experience with Debian was an unstable mess that was more of a job than a useable system makes me suspicious of the distro.
I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.
Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.
The issue is new users.
If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you'll likely Google "best Linux distro." Results that say "they all are good for different reasons" are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn't helpful.
New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.
Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
