It’s the age old model of tech companies … which basically follows the old model of companies before the modern tech and digital age … once you heavily monetize any product or service, the product or service eventually becomes secondary to the main goal of making as much money as possible.
Companies haven’t changed no matter how technological and modern they are … we still want to do the OOGA BOOGA thing of … “take thing, make money, who cares what thing does”

Exactly … If all you’re going to do is go online and maybe write a document once in a while … a simple distro like Mint or PopOS will just work without issue.
GUNS GO OFF … several shots ring out
Dozens of dead immigrants, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Africans, Asians lie on the floor or are trying to crawl away with bloody gun shot wounds
Somehow the two Americans are still standing there holding their guns.
We definitely aren’t ready because we’re actively raising a Degenerate AI
For 90% of the public that is not attached to a major business, corporation or institution … Libreoffice is more than enough.
And even for small offices and small groups or companies, LibreOffice is more than enough.
The only difference comes when you have to set up a mass system with hundreds or thousands or systems and people to interconnect an office system do the big companies opt for Microsoft office.
When you look at an aerial image of an average North American city or town … 80 to 90% of the land area is either concrete or asphalt. It’s like living on a hot plate and all it does is collect more heat.
“We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard”
The previous social model of monetizing everything is also not working and terribly complicated and sends the majority of the profit to those who contributed nothing but their claims to ownership and entitlement. I’d rather live a world where we were constantly debating and discussing while sending the majority of wealth to those people who actually created something.
Human cooperation will never be easy so we have to learn to live with that reality.
I have one niece who always had a hard time deciding on what to order for breakfast at a restaurant. We finally figured out how to solve her dilemma.
I would order the biggest breakfast I could for myself … the big truckers breakfast with pan cakes, sausages, eggs, bacon, waffles, ham, beans, toast, fruit, and anything else they put with it. Then I’d just let my niece pick whatever she wanted. Her own personal buffet (we kept doing this until she was about 12). She could never eat a lot so I would eat whatever was left which was still more than enough for me. And she loved it because some days she wanted just pan cakes and other days just fruit or just eggs and bacon.
Over a lifetime it’s more economical to not eat any fast food.
The fast food you eat on a regular basis early on in life just degrades your health later on in life when you will spend money trying to remedy. You will pay for that fast food twice, once when you eat it and again later on life when you pay to treat your heart, weight, circulation, blood and inflammation.
Eating fast food is investing in having some terrible last years of your life … you may live long but if you’re not healthy now, you’ll spend the last ten or 20 years of your life miserable.

McConnell’s brain waves endanger other systems with runaway random viruses
This is what I enjoy most about the Linux experience, like you say it is a very human experience that everyone likes to share.
When is the last time you had a noob online or anywhere tell you they booted up their system with a fresh new install of a new to them OS that they found called Microsoft Windows or Mac OS
To me, and I’m just a novice that is capable of knowing enough to destroy my system, any time I hear or read someone new who ditched a commercial OS to become a Linux user is an amazing accomplishment. It means the person who did so went out of their way to use something they had to work for, not with money but with knowledge, experience and trial and error.
Every time I hear that story, it makes me feel good and hopeful for humanity because it’s one more person who broke away from an all powerful corporate master.
I’ll never get tired of hearing these stories or seeing these posts.
Making gains with a diet of Jurassic steak
Same here … there is more than enough content on the internet as a whole … if I run into a site that gives me a hard time to see or read any of their content, I just turn it off, close the tab and restart my search or go somewhere else. I’m not wasting my time to accommodate a dumb website that doesn’t want to easily show me something I can see elsewhere … and if I can’t see it elsewhere, then more than likely, it wasn’t worth seeing anyway.
“They’re magically delicious”
Me: … no they’re not … these taste like bland wheat crumbs with stale coffee
SWAT TEAM breaks down my door: … (smoke bomb fills the room, broken glass everywhere, six officers in full riot gear pointing automatic weapons) … ON THE FLOOR NOW!!! … THEY ARE MAGICALLY DELICIOUS!!! … ANSWER YES OR NO OR YOU WILL BE SHOT!!!
I have a friend with a severely overweight cat … as she’s feeding him for the fifth time that day, she can’t figure out why her cat is so fat.
The kitty is so big that it’s incapable of lying down. It has to roll on its back and leave it’s legs hanging in the air to be comfortable.
