It’s almost as if linux users are a group of many individuals with different reasonings behind their vastly different goals and priorities and not one homogenous group. Who would have thought?

Why do average users need to use linux. Let them stay in windows if that’s where they are happy. Making linux into a system just as shitty as windows will just replace shit with different shit.

Why does it need to be dumbed down for the average joe?

Why does guis need to be designed for the person not using it? Why not design them for the people using it now and improve them for the actual users of the software instead of the persons NOT using the software?

Thats a stupid idea and that very line of thought is the brainrot that has led to the enshittification of so much the last couple of decades.

A company like iFixit you mean? Both sides can play that game. I’ll grant you that McDonalds probably have more money to burn on bribes but still.

It depends on how you define “get”.

The short answer is yes followed by ‘not from netflix/amazon/disney/whoever’ (except maybe sometimes but not really) because they use DRM to protect their content. Very effective DRM that doesn’t really do anything… Their loss I guess…

They must all have reached nirvana when they realized they could build in planned obsolescence straight into the platform. No more replacing a tiny belt, now they get to sell a brand new car when the battery goes bad!

I really hope that this regulation from the EU stick and it doesn’t get shut down by Germany as usual when they act as an extension of the auto-industry.

The cars will be fun to see unfold considering new EV platforms have them integrated straight into the platform the chassis is built upon.
