I see a trend of corporations at least trying to deshittify their products a little.

But I have a theory, that there will be a separate app for Shorts, and nobody will use it, unless it will be pre-installed.

Sure, but don’t they work just on M1’s mostly, and not everything works?

Well… I’ve just checked out, and aside from unofficial Edge flatpak, there are official Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora repositories, I just don’t understand why would anyone want to integrate spyware web browser into their system.

Apple actually have shown that they can make cheap computers like Macbook Neo, but I doubt they want to make computers that allow freedom of Linux, hell even Windows. Gaming is also non-existent on Macbooks, because for some they want to use their own graphics API (Metal), although some kind of a translation layer (MoltenVK) exists, but I have no idea how good it is.

There will be always a workaround, because Windows NT was originally build with local accounts in mind and the whole system’s architecture is based on that. Even if they block every possible way to do that using their official installation media, someone will just create a custom disc image, some script, join fake domain or whatever that you will be able to use to have a local account.

I think you should let the kid just use variety of systems and desktops over time. It’s fine if it likes something different than you in the end as well, and there’s a chance that they will like GNOME more if they are more used to mobile UI’s.

I mean I don’t really recommend Linux like a lot of people do. I just mention it when it’s appropriate and give a list of its drawbacks and benefits, according to specific use case. For home users I just say that Linux Mint or Zorin OS are fine (although I have an urge to also mention Fedora with Plasma desktop), but for a lot of users something like ChromeOS might be even better.

As a polish person: What the fuck. We use palec for both fingers and toes.

By that logic, it should be both green and red, because it looks like “lábujj” is both a word, and like you said it means “footfinger”.

I have a theory: If you need 3 or 4 words in some language to specify “Fingers of the feet”, they will make their own word for it, because it is troublesome to say. In Polish it’s just “palce u nóg” (which means something like fingers (toes ofc) next to legs, which don’t make much sense, but we don’t think about it).

Nothing seems better to upvote as a straight male than stuff that looks like dicks.

You are absolutely right!

If Microsoft keeps breaking shit, companies will eventually look for alternatives.
