Oh look at me miss “I want to have the right to exist as a person”, so deeply political, such politics.

Your instance have “free” as in “freedom” in it, a totaly apolitical concept, of course.

So the comic is political due to the first panel, right?

You apparently didn’t even bother to read anyway so have a good day.

“The system” is physics. You can’t have tiny speakers embeded in a flat screen sound as good as a dedicated sound system due to how sound works. Same goes for phones camera, the tiny size just cannot compete against bigger, dedicated hardware due to how light works.

So go ahead and go fight the universe if you want, I’ll be here enjoying my audio on big ass speakers you can find in a thrift shop since those things existed for decades.

Pretty sure the “corporation” that made my speakers in the 70’s are well fed with the non-existant money I sent them.

Gotten? I never knew any TV set with at least respectable audio and I knew CRT TVs.

Always has been. 🌍👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

I have a roughly 26 years old pentium III laptop still in working order. Those 256MB of memory are still going strong.

Splendid! but we’re facing a several years long DRAM shortage, just so you know.

My first “own” smartphone and not second hand from family members was a samsung galaxy s7 I bought in 2016, I kept using it until the battery nearly died (took a whooping… 15 minutes to go from 100% to 0%) in 2022 and I couldn’t simply change it due to the glass back being broken, the screen had severe burn-ins and the OS was no longer maintained so I ended up switching.

That first phone that lasted only 6 years was a valuable lesson, it shaped my wishlist for a “perfect” phone, which ironicaly enough was another samsung one, but xcover rather than S. Hoping that this one with no glass back, an amovible battery, no oled screen and that went from android 12 to 16 (and still going) will last longer.

I wish my old S7 could have any use beside paperweigh but I couldn’t find any sadly.

This used to be a thing, my first ever ubuntu install was made through such a tool (damn I might be getting old), a .exe that I ran on my windows 7 and that rebooted to a live ubuntu environnement.

Especialy nowadays with “features” like fast boot that removes the “press f# to access bios” prompt on startup to “speed-up the boot process”… Hell even when disabled (both OS and BIOS wide) some computers won’t ever show me the damn thing anyway.

Historically speaking, from what I’m reading is that gnome devs have a history of bad decisions birthing forks here and there “fine, I’ll do my own gnome, with blackjack and hookers” too, so I don’t know how much weigh such a decision can have to be perfectly honnest.

Accidental paste mostly happens to me on my multi monitor setup where a window use MMB for other stuff like panning and I accidentally move on another screen.

Is there a big popup at startup with windows that I somehow missed with all the shortcuts? Or did linux became sudenly less documented overnight? Why wouldn’t they know? Why do you think that users magicaly knows about shortcuts almost never referenced anywhere on windows but wouldn’t know about one sparking a debate among linux users with a toggle in settings directly referencing it?

As much as new windows users don’t know about ctrl+c, alt+f4, win+d… Those who don’t care won’t learn, those who do, will, it’s as simple as that.

Having a mouse button being over-sensitive or being used to another middle clic behavior like windows’ autoscroll toggle will tend to do that. Having a fullscreen software using MMB for something else like panning and failling to fully capture the mouse on the current screen in a multi-monitor setup also.

Still is. Had to use dillo of all browsers to be able to download my data package before leaving since it kept blocking my firefox…

Like I kept surprising coworkers on windows with “witchcrafty” key combinations like ctrl+c, win+d, ctrl+s…? The middle clic paste would be roughtly as well hidden as those arcane shortcut. If users won’t “discover” it, better not let them paste random stuff unknowingly at least.

Sure, if you grew with that feature and use it, it doesn’t hurt you. For others though, this is pain, it fucking hurts to keep accidentally paste stuff all over due to a legacy feature.

Damn, the amount of comments that didn’t even read the full… title… Is reading comprehension getting this bad? Middle clic paste isn’t getting removed, just being opt-in rather than opt-out, yet a bunch of commenters are up in arms “time to ditch firefox”…
